Dampers….why and how they work and why and how they die. 

Many people see a damper as nothing more than a counterweight. The reality is that there is much more involved in the design, intent and construction of dampers. Chuck Lynch of AERA and Randy Neal of CWT Industries discuss why like any other dynamic part, dampers wear out due to the cyclic conditions that they operate under. They look at construction, material and operation to give you a better understanding of why this seemingly simple part is not so simple.
