TCI Rattler Torsional Vibration Absorbers

All piston engines produce crankshaft torsional vibration. TCI Rattler torsional vibration absorbers counteract those vibrations by using internal rollers that automatically offset the twisting forces and eliminate the root cause of torsional vibration. They are effective for the entire RPM range and extend crankshaft and bearing life while also increasing valvetrain stability. Their design does not utilize viscous fluids and they are lighter than most dampers of the same size and material construction.

Rattler vibration absorbers feature steel rollers that fit loosely into a specific number of holes. By using an exact, patented, mathematical relationship, the rollers roll forward during the compression stroke and backward during the power stroke to keep engine speed variation and vibration to a minimum. The rollers are actually centrifugal pendulums that store and release energy back into the crankshaft rather than converting it to heat energy as dampers do. They are not frequency specific, but are based on the number of cylinders or the events per revolution so they are practical for street use, as well as track and drag strip use.
