Good vibrations: new torsional vibration dampers

Torsional vibration dampers ensure a more pleasant driving experience. There are now five new models in the range.

09.04.2024

It’s a component that only a few motorists are familiar with, although everyone appreciates the benefits it brings: the torsional vibration damper (TVD), whose integrated rubber track eliminates the crankshaft’s vibrations and rotational irregularities. This stops them from spreading to other ancillary units via the engine’s belts and belt pulleys. The result is much smoother running overall, making each journey a far more enjoyable one. 

We are continuously expanding our TVD range. Five new TVD models have just been added covering a total of around 12 million vehicles in Europe. One of the new additions, the VD1236, is designed for commercial vehicles such as the Iveco Daily. We also offer registered workshops our extended five-year guarantee on our torsional vibration dampers.

Smoothing the way for a smooth journey
Here’s a new top tip: torsional vibration dampers with integral overrunning function from Continental – a new product in the automotive aftermarket. They decouple the belt drive from the crankshaft and isolate high torsional vibrations, paving the way for low belt tension with reduced belt friction. This eases the strain on all components in the belt drive while also looking after the environment thanks to lower carbon emissions. We currently have five different models in our range: VD1217 EXTRA, VD1219 EXTRA, VD1220 EXTRA, VD1221 EXTRA and VD1222 EXTRA. 
As usual, further information can be found in the PIC.
