Disclosed are a damping device (100) and a vehicle-mounted
gimbal platform (10) using the damping device (100), wherein the damping device (100) comprises an upper damping connecting member (110), a lower damping connecting member (120) which is arranged opposite and spaced apart from the upper damping connecting member (110), a steel
wire rope damper (130) arranged between the upper damping connecting member (110) and the lower damping connecting member (120), and a bearing
damper (140) connected to the upper damping connecting member (110), two ends of the steel
wire rope damper (130) being respectively connected to the upper damping connecting member (110) and the lower damping connecting member (120). In the above-mentioned damping device (100), the steel
wire rope damper (130) is connected between the upper damping connecting member (110) and the lower damping connecting member (120), since the steel wire
rope damper (130) has non-linear rigidity and non-linear damping characteristics, and has the advantages of high environmental adaptability, long service life, various mounting
modes, good buffering and anti-
impact performances, high damping, convenience in installation and the like, the above-mentioned damping device (100) has high performance under different vibration conditions, influences of external vibration on the
gimbal platform (10) are weakened effectively, and the vibration frequency is reduced.
