LED ( Lead Extrusion Damper )
High damping is provided over small displacements

Compact-sized damper with high endurance
AdvantagesStructureBasic Features


Advantages

High damping performance
High energy absorption reduces seismic force and displacement induced by earthquake.
Design freedom
Due to the small size of these dampers, the number and capacity of dampers can be matched to the corresponding yield strength of the base structure.
Economic efficiency
The application to seismic reinforcement reduces the necessity for extra construction work, reducing cost.

Structure

Advantages

LED transforms the vibration from earthquake or strong winds into motion of a piston inside a cylinder filled with a special material to dissipate vibration energy.

Basic features

Basic Features

This chart shows the relationship between force and displacement when an LED is subjected to extreme deformation as would be expected in a major earthquake.
Modelling of LED for structural analysis is straight forward as it is almost independent of vibration and temperature.
