Abstract
A vibration damper including a damping element in a housing supports a component via a mounting bracket clamped between upper and lower plates after making horizontal adjustments. A hollow adjusting screw, a fixing screw and a counternut achieve a vertical adjustment, and a connection to the damping element. A hollow guide screw and an indicating pin axially slidably extending therethrough have visual alignment sights that indicate the vertical adjustment (via the adjusting screw) of the damping element relative to the housing, to facilitate achieving an optimal neutral loading of the damping element despite dimensional tolerances.
