SOBEN'S EXPERTISE AT THE SERVICE OF THE MILITARY SECTOR

High-performance shock absorbers for military vehicles.

Soben designs shock absorbers specifically developed to meet the requirements of military vehicles, whether light or heavy, with 4, 6 or 8 wheels, and weighing from 2 to 35 tones. Each system is optimized for the vehicle’s specific operational constraints and architecture.

Key benefits of our solutions

  • Improved traction and body handling

  • Improved crossing ability, even at high speeds

  • Increased energy dissipation, reducing the weight of the load-bearing structure

  • Dynamic management of ride height to adapt to terrain or tactical constraints

  • Longer service life thanks to reconditionable shock absorbers, guaranteeing efficient maintenance in operational conditions (MCO)

Robust, customized design

Each Soben shock absorber is designed according to the vehicle’s weight, configuration and missions. Our technologies include :

  • Large-diameter pistons (up to 200 mm)

  • High-performance oils resistant to temperatures in excess of 200°C

  • Long compression and rebound hydraulic stops

  • Openable and restorable components for long-lasting, upgradeable maintenance

Controlled suspension for total adaptability

Our shock absorbers can be controlled from the dashboard, with combinable modes allowing you to :

  • Switch between a soft or firm damping law, depending on the terrain (road, off-road)

  • Modify the ride height to clear an obstacle, lower the vehicle for observation, or optimize stability at high speed
