    Taylor Fluid Viscous Dampers were originally developed in the 1960s for aerospace and military applications but are now widely used by structural engineers to protect bridges from earthquakes. Taylor Devices is the world leader in providing dampers to control vibrations from various sources like earthquakes, wind, and traffic. Their dampers have been rigorously tested and validated to reduce stress and deflection on bridges during seismic events.

    SEISMIC DAMPERS Originally developed for military and

    aerospace applications in the 1960’s, Taylor


    Bridge Applications Fluid Viscous Dampers are now used by
    structural engineers worldwide to protect
    bridges and the people who rely upon them
    BY TAYLOR DEVICES to have a functional structure/lifeline after
    an earthquake.

    • Taylor Devices is the world leader in providing • Our policy is to test every single bridge damper we
    dampers to control vibrations caused by produce to maximum output requirements
    earthquakes, wind, traffic and pedestrians
    • Taylor dampers are designed and tested in output
    • Our dampers have been validated through rigorous force ratings up to 2 million pounds (8900 kN) and
    research, full scale testing and published work by amplitudes up to +/-42 inches (1.06 m)
    highly reputable organizations
    • Unequalled ability to provide a damper design that
    • Proprietary dry-running seals have been is accurate, controllable, efficient, temperature and
    qualified and tested for millions of cycles and are frequency independent and maintenance free
    manufactured only by Taylor Devices
    • Taylor dampers have unequalled ability to respond
    • High strength, mirror polished, stainless steel to extremely small or very large motions
    piston rods and 3 part heavy-duty paint system on
    external components • The only technology that can reduce stress and
    deflection simultaneously; damper forces are out-
    • Damper output force is proportional to velocity, of-phase with structural dynamic forces
    Force = CV! ; ! between 0.2 and 2.0; unlimited C

    Devices or Fuse Elements or Brake Elements” to
    • Long stroke bridge dampers have a heavy-wall steel eliminate the continuous response to small, every-

    • Identical quality standards for all our products • Dampers can also be provided with special stroke
