Fluidampr

Torsional vibration in the crankshaft can’t be seen, but it wears the engine, especially at high revs and with more power. Fluidampr makes viscous dampers that absorb the vibration across the entire rev range. Here you’ll find harmonic balancers for V8s, diesel engines and popular performance and race engines.

Viscous damping from American industry

Fluidampr is an American brand based on technology from viscous dampers for heavy industrial and diesel engines. The same technology has been transferred to performance and race engines, where extra power, higher revs and heavier loads put greater demands on the crankshaft. While a traditional balancer with a rubber ring is tuned to a specific range, a viscous damper works across a broad spectrum. That is why Fluidampr is used in street cars, diesel pickups, drag cars and track cars alike.

Fluidampr’s key products

The core of the range is viscous harmonic balancers. Inside the sealed housing, an inertia ring sits in thick silicone fluid that converts crankshaft vibration into heat and dampens it. There are dampers for classic and modern V8 engines, for diesel engines in pickups and for a range of four and six cylinder performance engines. Many models are made of steel and designed as a direct replacement for the original balancer. See each product for engine applications and any installation details.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a viscous damper and a standard balancer?

A standard balancer typically uses a rubber ring tuned to a specific rev range, which can age over time. A viscous damper uses silicone fluid and an inertia ring and dampens across a broader range.

When does a Fluidampr make sense?

It is especially relevant when the engine gets more power, runs higher revs or is used hard, such as on track, at the drag strip or for towing. It can also be a good replacement when the original balancer is worn.
