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.

Description:
AAM (previously Metaldyne International) has more than 50 years' experience in the application and design of viscous torsional vibration dampers on high, medium and low speed diesel engines.
 
AM Industrial & Marine facility, located in Halifax UK, specialises in the supply of medium and low volume requirements. Our inhouse engineering experts will consider each project as a bespoke assignment to ensure the most optimised damper is designed and paired with your driveline characteristics and requirements.
 
This design and engineering expertise is complemented by our skilled manufacturing team to ensure our products are manufactured to the highest standards. Our DNV Type Approval for the full Viscous Vibration Damper design, manufacture and overhaul completes the whole offering AAM can bring to your project.

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.
 
We also provide an extensive overhaul and service of dampers that have been in use for many years.

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.
