The first gas pressure monotube amortisers were created by Henry Bilstein in 1954 and, today, are still leading in quality and performance.Its main advantage was that the oil was under pressure and, thus, the foam of it was inhibited by increasing the temperature and load.The first brand to mount Bilstein amortisers was Mercedes-Benz but already in the 1960s they became the Formula 1 reference amortisers used by brands such as Porsche and McLaren.
During the 1990s, Bilstein developed the first semi-active and active electron-controlled amortization systems and in 2004 the innovative DampMatic for Mercedes-Benz and DampTronic for Porsche.
The world’s most renowned car brands rely on the innovation and quality of Bilstein suspensions for serial production.
Bilstein has a wide range of amortisers ranging from those intended for particular use to those customized for high-end and competition vehicles.
It is a brand that adapts to all pockets and all expectations, from the safety a particular driver seeks to the fun who seeks who wants to enjoy a more sports driving.
What functions do Bilstein amortisers perform?
The function is to control movements, impacts and strikes, suspension, absorbing energy.It is about reducing the sudden oscillations a vehicle suffers on the road, mantining the contact of the lights with the floor so that they suffer the minimum waste.
Bilstein is the pioneer manufacturer in technology and production, collaborating with the best car brands in the world market.
Bilstein Suspension Group, as a manufacturer of automotive accessories, highlights its work in the specialization of technological and quality parts innovation, offering solutions in the repair and confection of vehicles in a fully independent and global market.It has a historic reputation of reliability as a manufacturer, manufacturer and supplier.
Bilstein amortisator is one of the suspension elements that must endure the weight of the vehicle so it must be sufficiently resistant and strong, its fundamental role is to maintain the safety of the driver and passengers and also:
- Ensure the stability of the vehicle by keeping the floor lenses in touch and not suffering a minimum waste.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the state of the amortisers and check their quality or bad course
- Bad amortisers or if they are wasted or in bad condition, affect the brake system as a result, expanding the brake distance.In turn, it decreases the stability of the vehicle, in curves, causing slopes, also loses stability in front of the strong side winds and with the risk of finding the wet floor, as the vehicle’s traction capacity is reduced, it does not adhere with the same strength to the road by which it circulates.
- Correct use prevents any risk in driving against the adverse conditions mentioned above.
- The Bilstein amortisers system is made up of very important elements that act between the non-suspended and the suspended organs, while the forces allow control.Manufacturers, considering the functions of such elements essential, have made large investments for the development of the technique and use of the different amortisers and suspension elements
Other common risks when the amortisator is in bad condition are:
- The vibration of the wheel
- Balance or lateral sliding
- The aquaplanning and when there is any error in the braking system.
Do you know the Bilstein amortisers range?
The idea is to be able to adapt to demand and meet the expectations of the market, so Bilstein amortisers work on the preparation of different amortisers forming a wide range of suspension parts for all kinds of consumers, seeking to ensure the safety of each particular car.
- Amortisers that do not need subsequent modifications, known as Aftermarket equipment.
- Amortisers designed exclusively in any aspect or prototype, are the so-called Bilstein Motorsport baggage amortisers.
In the replacement group we find:
To differentiate the Bilstein amortisers we need to differentiate them in two groups by equipment:
- The Bilstein B2 amortisator: primary amortisation.It is offered as the most economical solution and usually comes incorporated in a series.
- The Bilstein B4 amortisator is a monotube amortisator.The gas pressure with which you work increases the benefits compared to the basic B2.In addition, the suspension force is constant and increases the duration of it.
- The Bilstein B6 amortisator, also known for being the sports amortisation model.It is characterized by improving its accuracy with the monotube technology and gas pressure technology, it meets the firm adherence by reducing oscillations and balance.It is designed to mount with origin.
- The Bilstein B8 amortisator features gas accuracy technology, providing accuracy and driving without leaving the necessary comfort.Its main intention is to increase the sportsability of the cars with Sport suspension, i.e. with sports moulds.
- The Bilstein B10, superior to the previous model, provides the suspension of the car with improved performance with more sports performance.
- The Bilstein B12 amortisator increases road safety in addition to comfort, as it has Bilstein gas technology.They are designed for a highly sports driving with the combination of a pair of B8 amortisers and Eibach sports moulds.
- The Bilstein B14 amortisator, the customer has the possibility to opt for a certain height.The molds that are implanted are of high quality, with circular shapes of easy application.
- The Bilstein B16 amortisator provides its full availability to the user, allowing all kinds of adjustments to satisfy competition demands, with up to 10 regulations available.After a wide and elaborate engineering work, the Bilstein B16 amortisers allow to regulate suspension in few minutes, a control, which can even be done from mobile devices, such as Smartphone.
