Knitted Wire Mesh

Knitted wire meshes are ideal damping elements to protect sensitive components from damage during operation. We have developed custom damping elements for many applications, including:

  • Engines
  • Turbines
  • Automated production machines

Properties of Knitted Wire Mesh

Knitted wire mesh is a highly effective damping element, offering excellent vibration absorption, shock resistance, and noise reduction. Its flexible, interlocking structure protects sensitive components from damage during operation—even in harsh, high-stress environments. At Gerard Daniel, we design custom damping solutions with knitted wire mesh for demanding applications, including engines, turbines and automated machinery.

The performance of a knitted wire mesh depends heavily on its material properties, mesh density and form. Optimally matched, our three-dimensional knitted wire mesh ensures a high elasticity and resilience depending on the intended use. Other properties include:

  • High temperature resistance
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Strength and durability
  • Noise reduction

Knitted Wire Mesh Applications

Our knitted wire mesh can be used for various applications, including:

  • Filter technology
  • Environmental and process engineering
  • Bearing and damping elements/vibration decoupling
  • Vandalism protection
  • Silencer
  • Heat- or thermal-isolation
  • Sealing elements
  • Separation applications
  • Filling material to avoid death volume
  • EMC applications

Knitted Wire Mesh Manufacturing

Gerard Daniel produces and develops tailor-made knitted wire mesh solutions for individual and series production according to your needs. We can form a long, sock-like structure of interlocking stitches using circular knitting machines with continuous wire spools. Another option is to knit multiple materials together in combination units for enhanced performance.

Knitted Wire Mesh Materials

Knitted wire mesh is made of the following materials:

  • All common steels and stainless steels
  • Aluminum
  • Special alloys (e.g., Monel and Inconel)
  • Titanium
  • Copper
  • Various plastics (e.g., PP, PVDC, ETFE, PFA and PTFE)
  • Fiber materials (e.g., glass fiber or carbon fiber)
  • Precious metal (e.g., gold and silver)
  • Nickel
