Vibration damper Metex

As a result of its interlocking loop construction-which couples resiliency with high damping characteristics and nonlinear spring rates-Metex knitted wire mesh offers unique properties for absorbing shock and vibration. Each loop acts as a small spring when subjected to compressive loads, and will immediately resume 90% of its original shape when the load is removed.

Knitted wire mesh can be used to provide mechanical support for the monolith element used in an exhaust system's catalytic converter. The wire mesh is used to support the monolith, compensate for the wide range of thermal expansion rates and protect the fragile ceramic honeycomb from the mechanical shocks associated with various driving conditions.
