02 · OE Experience

What difference does OE experience make?

OE (Original Equipment) is the equipment fitted to a vehicle when it is built at the factory. Every shock absorber developed for vehicle manufacturers goes through vehicle-specific engineering, rigorous testing and approved production processes. This expertise is also the foundation of our aftermarket products.

A new part, the same driving character.

Vehicle-specific damping

The valve stack is tuned to the vehicle’s weight, suspension geometry and intended use, preserving the balance between road holding and comfort.

The same approach to materials and tolerances

Critical components such as the piston rod, seal, oil and bushes are selected with the specification discipline used in OE projects.

Direct-fit installation

Mounting points and dimensions match the vehicle exactly. Installation is quick and requires no additional work.

DAMPING CHARACTERISTIC
Force–velocity curve
OE reference Maysan Mando
Velocity (m/s) Rebound Compression 0

The resistance the shock absorber produces at each velocity is kept within the reference curve and tolerance band defined for the vehicle. This curve defines the driving character.

Behind quality, there is a process.

Before it reaches the shelf, a shock absorber goes through four stages, from design to series production.

01

Vehicle-specific engineering

Vehicle data and operating conditions are analysed; damping targets and component design are defined.

Vehicle dataValve designCAD
02

Virtual validation

Before prototyping, the design is tested for strength and performance through simulation.

SimulationStress analysisPrototype
03

Laboratory testing

Prototypes are validated at our R&D centre through performance, durability and environmental tests.

DynamometerDurability testCorrosion
04

Controlled series production

The approved design goes into series production through processes that meet international quality standards.

IATF 16949End-of-line inspectionTraceability
R&D Centre

Validated in the lab, proven on the road.

Every product family goes through test protocols that simulate real road conditions.

Force–velocity test

Damping force at different velocities is measured on a dynamometer and compared with the reference curve.

PERFORMANCE

Endurance and durability test

The shock absorber is subjected to a high number of load cycles simulating long-term use.

DURABILITY

Corrosion test

Surface coatings and the rod surface are tested against harsh climate conditions in a salt spray environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Temperature test

Damping performance and the behaviour of the oil and seals are examined at low and high temperatures.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Sealing test

The seal and guide system is verified not to leak oil under pressure.

RELIABILITY

Noise (NVH) test

Noise and vibration during operation are measured to check comfort targets.

COMFORT
03 · Assurance

We stand behind our quality.
