What is a mechanical snubber? |
|
A mechanic snubber is a device that permits pipe deflection under normal operating conditions, but when subjected to an impulse load, such as an earthquake, water hammer, etc., the snubber becomes activated and acts as a rigid restraint to restrict pipe movement as a result of the unwanted impulse loading. A mechanical snubber uses gears and springs to produce the restraint force when activated.
