NTR GAS MONOTUBE DAMPER

Nitron's NTR damper has been designed primarily for use on the track but can also be used on the road owing to it's long lasting exterior casing and fully sealed adjustment mechanism.

The NTR has evolved from Nitron's multi adjustable full race damper; many lessons learned from the racetrack have been incorporated into the NTR and are included as standard features.

The design philosophy has been to produce a gas monotube damper that is totally reliable and fade resistant, with very low friction characteristics. Nitron have incorporated a large piston for greater control of small shaft movements, most common adjustable dampers have a piston less than 1/3 the surface area of the NTR's.

ADVANTAGES

 

  • Inverted mounting saves unsprung weight
  • Very light weight essential for lightweight cars
  • Very low friction provides immediate damping response
  • Will not corrode or deterioate
  • Any valving set-up available with customised shim packs
  • Sealed nitrogen charge to avoid leaking
  • Race proved design and heritage
  • Large piston area for better short stroke control

 

KEY FEATURES

 

  • Very lightweight, mainly aluminium
  • Fully CNC machined and screwed together, no welding
  • Fully anodised
  • Fully re-builadable and re-valvable
  • Infinite range of bump/rebound ratios, which can be changed at any time
  • Designed to run inverted to save unsprung weight
  • Very low friction design
  • Low friction double point rod seal and rod scraper system
  • Fully sealed adjuster mechanism
  • Separate nitrogen charge with fully floating piston design
  • Teflon banded piston and floating piston, no metal to metal contact
  • Internal rubber rebound stop
  • Cellular progressive bumpstop
  • Takes a 2.25" or 60mm internal diameter spring
  • 15mm bore lined bearings with seats as standard
