Description
The liquid spring strut was conceived over 20 years ago to fulfill the need of providing a more reliable and better performing suspension system on off-highway trucks in the mining industry. The strut was built like a conventional shock absorber, except it was filled with pressurized silicone fluid as opposed to mineral oil. This configuration resulted in a unique component capable of carrying the load of the vehicle and providing damping in a single element.
) was founded in March of 1993 to further its development. The original strut worked very well for the off-highway mining applications, however, it was not very adaptable for other applications because of its fixed preload and damping characteristic. Continued innovative efforts by
resulted in technological breakthroughs which allowed the strut to exhibit a broad range of stiffness and damping characteristics and hence be applicable to on-highway applications. The key, patented breakthrough was coupling the strut with an additional fluid volume and controlling the fluid interaction between each component thus enabling the strut to have variable stiffness and damping. This aspect is truly unique and sets this technology apart from other suspension systems.
