Through a joint product development agreement, Tenneco Inc. and Sturman Industries will develop ride control damping systems that incorporate Sturman's digital values and Tenneco's adjustable damping technology.
Sturman's digital valve technologies deliver greater control to mechanical systems, the company says. The digital valves use digital hydraulics, which combines the precision and control of electromagnetics and intelligent electronics with the high power density "muscle" of hydraulics, Sturman says.
Tenneco provides damping technologies to enhance a vehicle's ride comfort, stability and handling. The new ride control products will use Sturman's digital valve technology to help deliver a greater degree of responsiveness to the shock absorber damping due to the consistency of the valve technology in enabling a faster and more controlled response.
"Digital electronic systems offer higher speed, lighter weight, reduced power consumption and lower cost than analog devices," said Tim Jackson, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Tenneco. "This innovation will enable us to bring high performance products to a broader market."
The new ride control products will be best suited for improving ride performance on high-volume vehicle platforms. Tenneco expects to roll out the new technology in the U.S. and European markets, initially.
