ABSTRACT:
A snubber apparatus which is constructed to present a high resistance to acceleration of the end fittings with respect to each other such as might occur due to seismic motion. The snubber apparatus preferably comprises a device which converts linear to rotary motion such as a ball screw and ball nut assembly which drives an inertia mass through a brake set and which when rotating causes braking to occur to increase the resistance force on the ball screw and ball nut assembly thus translating rotational resistance to linear resistance. The snubber apparatus is useful in restraining power plant piping, etc., in locations where earthquakes would be expected to occur.
