AR Products, LLC

AR Products is a Lexington company that makes patented anti-galloping devices and vibration dampers for electric transmission lines and broadcast towers. Galloping happens when wind sets overhead power lines oscillating vertically, stressing lines and towers and risking outages or equipment failure. AR Products analyzes at-risk sections of transmission systems, span by span, and recommends the right device and application for the conditions, supporting project and consulting engineers who need long-term asset protection.

The engineering behind the products comes from Research Consulting Associates, a small firm specializing in galloping and vibration analysis, testing and solution design. RCA was founded out of the MIT Aeroelastic and Structures Research Laboratory, where founder Albert S. Richardson Jr. served as an executive officer, and it has more than 40 years of research behind it, supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy and Department of Commerce. The two firms have developed proven devices together for over fifty years.
