Analysis of Possible Dynamic Vibration Dampers Uses in Tractor Cabins Suspensions

Abstract This article is devoted to the research of using dynamic vibration dampers in suspension systems of tractor cabin. The results of research in damping and elastic characteristics of standard rubber vibration dampers are presented. The results of tractors motion modeling with standard dampers in cabin suspensions are described. It is shown that those vibration dampers do not provide good vibroprotection. The possibility of dynamic dampers usage for vibration protection of cabin is analyzed. The analysis of dampers schemes usage is presented. The research of vibration activity at an operator's workplace is made. Thedesign of dynamic damper is also proposed and the results of computational and experimental research of this damper operation are presented. It is shown that dynamic dampers could be successfully used in cabin suspension.
