Washing Machine Rotary Damper

Washing machine rotary damper

Peir offers solutions for damping movement for industries. And washing machine application is one of the successful cases.

The washing machine lids, especially the glass ones are susceptible to shock and impact damage. The hydraulic rotary damper has come to be a critical part of protecting the lid and keep the operation safe.

The new design allows the lid to fall very slowly without impact.

What kind of damper mostly used for Washing Machine?

There is various kind of damper. What works mostly on the washing machine is the vane damper and high torque damper, which working angle is 110°, but damping from 80° to 0°.

How to find the proper damping solution?

Work with Peir R&D team.

According to the size (weight, length, width) of the washing machine cover provided by the customer, the Engineer team calculates the required torque of the cover.
Peir team will recommend damper models accordingly for customers.
After defining the proper models, the R&D team can calculate the appropriate torque, and formulate the safety factor according to the closing performance expected by the customer. (say for example the free-falling time is 4 seconds)
Most customers will send Peir laboratory a lid, Peir engineering team will find out a proper torque range through test.
As well the R&D team can help finish the reliability test on the washer lid by automatical test machine. OR we send group samples for the development by customer.
