Elastomeric jounce bumper geometry: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Standard elastomer failure under high-velocity compression leads to suspension damage and poor ride quality. These innovations utilize specific cellular geometries and material densities to provide progressive damping and impact energy absorption.

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

Suspension bottoming impact damage

(5)evidences

Standard suspension components suffer from abrupt energy transfer during full compression. Reducing peak impact loads prevents structural damage and improves passenger comfort.

Excessive suspension impact noise

(3)evidences

High friction and stick-slip behavior at the contact interface cause audible noise and component wear. Reducing these parasitic forces improves ride quality and component longevity.
