ITT KONI Announces New Shocks for Armoured Vehicles

Category: Defence Industry

Oud-Beijerland, NL Holland -- ITT Corporation, the world leader in shock absorber technology, has released a new series of shock absorbers designed for heavy military vehicles that have off-highway and rugged terrain performance requirements.

These new shock absorbers, on display at the Eurosatory 2010 show, will help customers achieve the mobility requirements necessary to successfully execute extreme missions involving military ground vehicles.

The new 93 Series piston is 33 percent larger than the popular 92 Series, but still encompasses the same features and benefits customers have come to expect from ITT’s smaller shock absorbers.

“As more armour and equipment are put onto military vehicles, the requirements to control larger and heavier vehicles becomes increasingly challenging,” said Justin McCoy, Koni’s International Defence sales manager. “The new 93 Series gives customers the ability to control these large vehicles, while still offering the ability to perform at a high level in extreme conditions.”

KONI’s military shock absorber design includes components that can survive in high heat applications – which is a must for military vehicles traveling in and out of theatre. The new series also includes a piston design that makes digressive forces for added pitch and roll control. This helps with performance over rough terrains and on off-road surfaces. It can be configured in both twin-tube and mono-tube body styles, depending on available space.

KONI Defence shocks have been used by various prime contractors including Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems and Renault Defence.
