Motioneering Opposed Pendulum Tuned Mass Damper

Over the past decade, the global high-rise industry has recognized that frequent wind storms—occurring multiple times each windy season—govern occupant comfort in tall buildings. To effectively mitigate these events, a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) must break free and respond at extremely low structural accelerations.

 

The Motioneering Opposed Pendulum TMD is a compact, ultra–low-friction damping system, enabling exceptionally low frequency tuning within limited mechanical spaces. With a proven friction coefficient as low as 0.0005, it responds immediately during frequent wind events, significantly enhancing comfort and performance. Installed on more than 20 landmark towers worldwide, it provides reliable, validated motion control for next-generation tall buildings.
