Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for suppressing vibrations () in an installation comprising an actuator () for actuating a flap () or a valve () used for metering a gas or liquid volume flow (), especially in the area of HVAC, fire protection, or smoke protection. Vibrations () of the flap () or valve () caused by an unfavorable or wrong adjustment or configuration of the controller and/or by disruptive influences are detected and dampened or suppressed by means of an algorithm () that is stored in a microprocessor (). Said algorithm is preferably based on the components recognition of vibrations (), adaptive filtering (), and recognition of sudden load variations ().
