Elastomeric jounce bumper assembly: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Suspension bottoming causes structural fatigue and passenger discomfort, which is mitigated by engineering non-linear stiffness profiles into the bumper geometry. This allows for soft initial engagement while preventing hard mechanical stops during high-load impacts.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Elastomeric jounce bumper assembly?

Excessive suspension impact energy

(7)evidences

Standard suspension components suffer from structural damage or passenger discomfort when reaching maximum compression travel. Mitigating these peak kinetic energy transfers prevents component failure and improves ride quality.

Excessive suspension impact energy

(1)evidences

Sudden contact between suspension components during full compression creates harsh acoustic feedback and structural stress. Reducing these mechanical shocks prevents component fatigue and improves passenger comfort.
