Talk:Snubber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Re-editing

I believe this article needs slightly more information. Some typical examples of subber diagrams might seem appropriate, and possibly even some basic design criteria of snubbers. Another suggestion is perhaps organizing the different types of articles by first stating their main functions. Any suggestions?

I also have some images that are copyrighted by the author, but I can take the time to make some of my own that are similar that might help to explain the point further. Any comments from the original author? I don't want to completely rewrite the article, so any suggestions before I start tweaking would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Any comments from the original author?

I guess that would be me, but I always encourage people to be bold and improve the page in any way they can. Pictures of snubbers would be a good addition as would any math that supports the design of snubbers.

Thanks, I'll get on that. Just didn't wanna step my bounds, being a new wikipedian and all.

[edit] Other contexts

Another new wikipedian here. The term "snubber is also used in fluid piping systems, with a similar purpose to that described for electrical circuits, either in-line (to suppress shock-loading of a delicate gauge for example) or external/structural (to suppress piping vibrations due to pressure transients, for example water hammer).

I hope this helps --Graham Proud 02:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Good point. The entire article is written from the narrow viewpoint of electrical systems. Sections should be added to describe mechanical and fluidic snubbers. Accordingly, I've changed the definition of the term in the first sentence to encourage contributions in these areas. —Quicksilver^{T @} 00:49, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
