Horstman Solutions

Horstman HydroCore®

This new HydroCore® concept allows vehicle designers, users and operators to have either a passive, actively damped or fully damped one size Hydrostrut® with upgrade kits.

External Suspension | Horstman Hydrogas®

Hydrogas® external suspension uses high pressure nitrogen gas and an integral oil damper.

Horstman Rotary Damper

Horstman’s robust, combat proven rotary dampers have been deployed worldwide, and provide inherently superior damping performance over conventional linear shocks.

Horstman Kinetic Dampers

Our Kinetic Damper solutions provide a best value solution that is simple, rugged and backed by a hundred years of all-terrain, all-weather experience. From the same family we enable growth to computer controlled variable damping (semi-active) and force-inserting (fully active damping) suspension as well as ride height management systems.

Horstman InArm®

InArm® has the lowest weight and space claim of all armoured vehicle suspension systems and provides a growth path to advanced variable damping, lock-out and ride height management systems

Horstman Hydrostrut®

The hydro-pneumatic suspension uses high-pressure nitrogen gas and an integral oil damper and provides for an easy path to ride height and wheel station load adjustment . Compact and providing excellent ride this is a superior selection for 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles compared to coil or leaf spring, conventional shocks or air bag technology.

Horstman Compressible Fluid

Proven in Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF), mining, wildland fire fighting and cash-in-transit applications

Lightweight Suspension – Horstman Ambitec®

Lightweight suspension ideal for lightweight tracked IFVs

Horstman Wheel Technology

Proven on tracked vehicles, operating in the hardest of environments

Horstman Active Technology

Suitable for all vehicle systems, including wheeled and tracked

Horstman Stabilisation

Field proven technology used on multi-axle vehicle platforms

Horstman Diagnostics

The Horstman line of Diagnostic equipment enables the maintainer to interrogate our various advanced electronic system offerings via direct connection to sensors/solenoids or via CANBus communication.

Horstman Track Tension

Horstman Track Tension systems provide passive and adaptive solutions that maintain the demanded tension level of the track, while influencing the total suspension stiffness.  

Horstman Ride Management – Active Suspension

Reduced vibration shock and increased vehicle speed over terrain

Horstman Additive Manufacturing

Additive and reductive manufacturing techniques

Horstman Ride Height Control System – RHCS™

The RHCS™ delivers vehicle strategic mobility for airlift, rail transportation and sea lift

Semi-Active Suspension

Semi-active suspension allows a vehicles dynamic ride performance to be dynamically adjusted

Horstman Control, Modelling and Simulation

Horstman extensively use our tools and experience to conduct a synthetic simulation of physical systems

Horstman Mechatronics

Horstman Mechatronics uses system sensing, component modelling

Horstman Power Regeneration

The power regeneration system of the active suspension reduces the vehicle electrical power requirements

Horstman Dual Rate Spring Technology

Horstman dual rate spring enables two distinct spring curves to be combined.

Horstman Adaptive Learning Technology

The Horstman adaptive learning technology enables the active suspension controller to optimize the ride performance of the suspension system, whilst driving the vehicle, and uses the sensing package on the vehicle.

Horstman Thermal Stablisation

Horstman has developed thermal stabilisation technologies to mitigate the effects of heat expanding the gases in hydropneumatic suspension elements
