How well does magnesium absorb vibration?
Magnesium alloy has very high energy absorbing characteristics –that means it excels at dampening vibration. According to the Co-operative Research Centre for Cast Metals Manufacturing, magnesium alloy is significantly better at dampening vibration than aluminum and steel on an equal weight basis. Think of the CF30 docking station as one of the latest in magnesium alloy mountain bikes –the aluminum alloy absorbs shocks and stress – sparing the rider – and allows the rider greater ease of movement because of the lightweight alloy. A computer housed in the CF30 will reap the same benefits. The user benefits from secure connections that won’t vibrate loose, knowing the computer is housed in a sturdy and steady docking station, and noise reduction as well.
