Our hydropneumatic suspension elements integrate a nitrogen spring within a monotube damping unit. The nitrogen charge is contained in a hollow piston rod, separated from the damping fluid by a floating piston. This assures optimal damping under all conditions. We manufacture hydropneumatic elements which function as a shock absorber/spring combination and strut elements which also allow for suspension geometry control. When integrated into an on-board hydraulic system, hydropneumatic suspensions can even be used to lift individual wheelstations to mitigate battle damage or facilitate maintenance.
Applications Current light armored vehicles Future main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers & self-propelled howitzers
