Strategies for Vibration, Shock, and Audible Noise Reduction

Vibration, shock, and audible noise issues impact various aspects of day-to-day living environments, including automobiles, industrial machinery, office equipment, home appliances, and more.

In the past, efforts have primarily focused on applying countermeasures reactively.
However, with advancements in precision, performance, and quality driven by computerization and digitalization, more proactive approaches are being adopted.
This technology has recently gained greater importance, so vibration, shock, and audible noise reduction are now integrated from the design stage, leading to the development of quieter and more robust products.

Since the 1990s, Kitagawa Industries has been developing its own high-performance materials and products by performing measurement and analysis using the latest equipment.
We are also proud that our efforts contribute to the design of solutions for our customers.
