Safe steering system with increased comfort for electrically powered cargo bikes
The delivery of goods has become very popular with supermarkets. This has increased the demand for bicycles to avoid congestion and contribute to environmental protection. For this type of transport and fast deliveries, a customized small series of cargo bikes in underfloor construction was designed and equipped with electric drive and hydraulic dampers. The dampers supplied by ACE are variably adjustable in compression or traction force from 30 N up to 3,000 N. They soothe the chassis of the E-Trikes, serve for safety and increase driving comfort.
Gas Springs - Push Type - GS-8 to GS-70
Motion optimisation of accelerators in racing cars
The versatility of ACE's industrial gas springs is demonstrated through their use in a racing car. Installed on the accelerator, they compensate disruptive pedal movements through the backflow of nitrogen when the throttle valve is opened. This compensation is achieved through the gas spring building up slight counter pressure. The driver's foot is thus stabilised in critical situations and can hold the desired pedal position more consistently, despite the vibrations from driving. This results in measurable improvements in both safety and in lap times in comparison to the previously used screw springs.
Rotary Dampers - FDT
Steering stabilisation for toboggans and sport vehicles
In this innovative tobogganing vehicle called Pistenbock-Cross rotation dampers from ACE come into action. These help to effectively damen unexpected steering turns and smooth the overall process to improve driving comfort and safety. Two FDT rotary dampers are mounted counter-rotating with the use of spacers underneath the steering stool. A square square engages in the rotary dampers, thus enabling the steering behavior to be optimized. The design prevents sudden tearing of the steering in the event of a collision with larger obstacles and offers the driver greater safety on impassable stretches of road.
