BILSTEIN and RAVENOL Announce Technical Cooperation
BILSTEIN, the shock absorber specialist, is entering into a multi-year technical cooperation with the oil producer RAVENOL. The close collaboration between the 2 engineering teams will enable solutions for the high demands of motorsport teams. The common goal: redefining the boundaries of performance. The development of high-performance shock absorbers takes place at the BILSTEIN Competence Center in Meuspath, Germany, located directly at the Nürburgring. The suspensions are developed and adjusted to the respective requirement and race track. The damping oil used is an essential component of the shock absorber technology. When used in motorsport, the shock absorbers are exposed to such stresses that they become extremely hot. Despite the high temperatures, the oil must not become too thin or foam, because then even the gas pressure would be powerless and the best set-up characteristics would only be half as good. On the other hand, the viscosity must ensure that a good response is ensured even under cold conditions. This makes it clear why BILSTEIN places such a high value on qualified oil suppliers as development partners within the motorsport sector. RAVENOL is one of the most high-performance lubricant brands for premium products. These are specially designed and optimised for the extreme conditions of motorsport. “This cooperation is an important step for us”, said Martin Flick, head of motorsport at thyssenkrupp Bilstein. “We are excited about the opportunity to work with RAVENOL on a technical level in racing and to equip our damper systems with high-performance oils. Together, we can develop products that not only enhance performance but also increase driver safety. We want to redefine the boundaries of performance. Combining our damping technology with the high-quality lubricants from RAVENOL offers us the best conditions for this.” BILSTEIN revolutionised damping technology as early as 1954 with the first gas pressure shock absorbers ready for serial production and has been delivering top quality and high performance in motorsport ever since.
