Damper for bridge cable

Rubber damper system enhancing the safety and durability of cable-stayed bridges

Cable-stayed and extradosed bridges not only serve as vital transportation infrastructure, but also enhance the urban landscape with their elegant structures. However, wind and rain can induce vibrations in the cables, potentially compromising their safety.
Sumitomo Rubber's high-damping rubber dampers—Cable Dampers—are designed to suppress such vibrations, thereby improving the durability of cable-supported bridges.
Thanks to their superior vibration control performance, these dampers effectively reduce cable oscillations and minimize stress fatigue at the cable anchorage points. This leads to significantly enhanced safety and longevity of the bridge.
Our damping systems are tailored to suit a wide variety of bridge structures and site conditions, contributing to civil engineering solutions that harmonize with the forces of nature.
