A brake damper is an earthquake-resistant/damping system that tucks a pair of thin stainless steel brake material into the end of a pillar/beam and the joint of earthquake-resistant elements (braces, earthquake-resistant walls, etc.) and a support groove to absorb energy by sliding and friction.

• From slight shaking by wind to a major jolt by a powerful earthquake, this system reduces building shake by about 2/3.
• Broad range of applications.
• Even after many times of sliding, the performance remains the same, minimizing maintenance.
• Even after a major earthquake, the system remains undamaged; no replacement is required.
• Excellent cost performance.
