Company Information
Summary:
AAM delivers POWER that moves the world. AAM designs, engineers and manufactures Driveline technologies to support electric, hybrid and internal combustion Drivelines. AAM is bringing the future faster for a safer and more sustainable tomorrow.
Our knowledge and experience, across both engineering and manufacturing, stretches from providing damping solutions to high horsepower small marine craft, through static power generators of all sizes, to large/mega vessel main propulsion engines. Meaning our damper size range goes from dampers of 200mm diameter to over 5000mm diameter.
Viscous dampers are fitted to the front (free) end of most diesel engines to control torsional vibrations. The viscous damper is fitted to control the torsional vibrations developing in the crankshaft induced by the combustion process in the engine. By reducing oscillations in the crankshaft to a low amplitude, the viscous damper keeps the material stresses within permitted design limits and prevents premature failure of the crankshaft due to metal fatigue.

Labour Party Conference Signals a Maritime Shift
The maritime debate surrounding Labour Party Conference 2026 extended beyond the speeches delivered in Liverpool. As delegates gathered on Sunday 27 September, the Cabinet Office announced that the National Shipbuilding Office would oversee all future civil ship procurement across government; the following day, Chancellor John Healey used his conference speech to place major investment in British shipbuilding within his vision for a “new age of industrialisation”. Although the announcements came through different channels, together they pointed towards a more strategic approach to maritime capability, connecting procurement more explicitly with economic growth, national security and industrial resilience
