TUNABLE MASS DAMPER

A tunable mass damper is provided. The tunable mass damper includes a mounting bracket and a molded assembly, the molded assembly comprising an elastomeric coating that is overmolded onto a damper mass. The elastomeric coating includes one or more slots that are shaped to receive a corresponding elastomeric tab. Each elastomeric tab can be positioned within a corresponding slot on an as-needed basis to incrementally raise the natural frequency of the tunable mass damper. The molded assembly is then press-fit into the mounting bracket, thereby ensuring the tunable mass damper attenuates engine vibrations at a target frequency.
