7.62MM Recoil Soft-Mount System
This 7.62MM recoil buffer is a critical component designed to manage the intense and sustained recoil generated by the rapid firing of powerful 7.62 mm rounds. Installed within the mechanism, it's built to withstand significant stress and heat. This robust buffer system, often employing heavy-duty springs, hydraulic dampers, or specialized polymers, works to absorb the substantial rearward force, slowing the movement of internal parts. This not only protects the operator from excessive recoil during continuous fire but also contributes to maintaining stability and controlling the rate of fire for optimal effectiveness
12.7MM Recoil Soft-Mount System
This 12.7MM recoil buffer is a heavy-duty element engineered to counteract the immense recoil produced by firing such a large and powerful round. Integrated into the system's recoil assembly, it's constructed to endure extreme forces. This robust system, often utilizing substantial springs, advanced hydraulic mechanisms, or high-performance elastomers, functions to absorb the significant rearward thrust, effectively decelerating the movement of the reciprocating components. This is crucial for operator comfort and safety during firing, as well as for preserving the system's structural integrity and maintaining accuracy despite the massive energy involved.
Bore 40MM / 70MM / 105MM / 130MM / 155MM Soft Recoil for Mortar, Air Defence & Artillery Systems
A design characteristic focused on minimizing the felt rearward impulse during the operation of a dynamic system, soft recoil is achieved through the strategic implementation of specialized components and internal mechanisms. These elements work in concert to efficiently manage and dissipate the energy produced by the system's action, resulting in a less intense and more prolonged recoil sensation for the user. The primary goals of this design are to enhance user comfort, improve the stability of the system during operation, and enable faster and more controlled follow-up actions, ultimately leading to increased overall performance and user satisfaction
Equilibrators - Standalone / Electronically Controlled Systems
A mechanical device designed to provide counteracting forces acting on a moving component within a system. This is achieved through the strategic implementation of a hydraulic system utilizing oil to generate an opposing force. The primary goal is to create a state of balance or near-equilibrium across the component's range of motion, resulting in smoother, more controlled, and easier operation. By precisely managing the flow and pressure of the oil, the equilibrator allows for precise positioning and reduces the effort required to move and support the component, minimizing strain on the system and the user.
155MM Artillery Recoil Buffers / T-90 Tank Recoil Buffers
This recoil buffer in artillery systems is a vital component within the recoil mechanism, specifically designed to absorb and manage the immense energy produced upon firing a projectile. Typically employing a combination of hydraulic and pneumatic elements, this system functions to control the rearward movement of the barrel and associated parts. By efficiently dissipating the recoil force through the controlled compression of fluids, the buffer ensures the stability of the artillery piece during and after firing, protects the crew and the equipment from excessive stress, and facilitates the smooth return of the barrel to its initial position, ready for the next round. This controlled recoil management is crucial for maintaining accuracy and achieving the desired rate of fire in artillery operations.
This rotary suspension system in armored vehicles is a crucial component of the mobility platform, engineered to absorb terrain-induced shocks and maintain vehicle stability during combat and maneuvering. Utilizing a rotary lever mechanism coupled with hydraulic or elastomeric damping, the system controls the vertical movement of the road wheels by translating linear motion into controlled rotary resistance. This configuration allows for a compact and durable suspension setup that reduces transmitted vibrations and structural fatigue across the hull. By maintaining optimal ground contact and reducing crew fatigue, the suspension system enhances off-road performance, increases firing stability on uneven terrain, and supports sustained operational mobility under extreme conditions.
