Damping torque is provided by indicating instrument. Damper is a generic term used to identify any mechanism used for vibration energy absorption, the shaft vibration suppression, soft start and overload protection device. In order to design an efficient damper, it is imperative that the damping torque is calculated first. Damping torque or damping forces is the speed deviation of an electromechanical torque deviations of a machine while the angle deviation is called synchronizing torque [1]. In a measuring instrument, the damping torque is necessary to bring the moving system to rest to indicate steady reflection in a reasonable short time. It exists only as long as the pointer is in motion. Under the absence of damping torque the pointer oscillates for a short period of time and comes to steady position and this situation is called under damping. If the damping force is too large, then the pointer will come to rest slowly and this is called as over damping. Damping torque is a physical process of controlling a system's movement through producing motion that opposes the natural oscillation of a system. Similar to friction, it only acts when a system is in motion, and is not present if the system is at rest. Its primary purpose is to enable fast and accurate readings for an oscillating system. Instead of allowing an object to oscillate at its fundamental frequency forever, damping torque applies a counteractive force that slows the oscillation enough for a reading to be made. Although damping torque is used in many measurement devices, it is not something that has a set value, but instead is adjusted based on a pointer that is graphed on a deflection torque vs. time graph. Damping torque is an integral part in the measurement of moving systems because of its ability to control oscillation.
