Light Suspension Rubbaride Damper (≤ 750kg Capacity)

The Light Suspension Rubbaride Damper is a precision hydraulic shock absorber engineered specifically for rubber torsion (Rubbaride) axles and lightweight trailing-arm suspension assemblies on trailers, caravans, and utility haulers. Calibrated for trailer chassis with an axle design rating of up to 750 kg, this damper controls dynamic oscillation, eliminates erratic trailer hop, and dissipates kinetic energy generated over road imperfections.

Built with an extended length of 334 mm, a fully compressed length of 222 mm, and a dedicated 112 mm stroke, it is optimized for an unladen installation center-to-center mounting distance of 325 mm. By maintaining constant tire contact with the road surface, this unit enhances high-speed towing stability, minimizes dangerous trailer snaking, reduces tire wear caused by bouncing, and shields lightweight trailer chassis and fragile cargo from harsh vertical road shock.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Tuned for Light Axle Applications (≤ 750kg): Specifically valved to damp oscillations on unbraked and light braked trailers without causing an overly stiff or jarring ride.

• 112mm Working Stroke: Features a maximum extended length of 334 mm and a closed length of 222 mm, providing ample travel to match standard rubber torsion swing-arm deflection.

• Optimized Mounting Geometry: Engineered for a recommended unladen eye-to-eye installation position of 325 mm, ensuring optimal compression and rebound travel during transit.

• Maintains Continuous Tire Contact: Prevents wheel rebound hop over corrugations and potholes, ensuring consistent braking grip and directional stability.

• Roll & Sway Suppression: Damps abrupt lateral weight transfer and chassis sway during sudden lane changes, highway crosswinds, or high-speed cornering.

• Kinetic Energy Dissipation: Rapidly converts suspension spring kinetic energy into thermal energy, protecting trailer body joints, chassis welds, and delicate cargo from repetitive shock fatigue.

• Corrosion-Resistant Automotive Finish: Sealed against moisture, road dirt, grit, and washdown chemicals for reliable outdoor longevity.

Ideal Applications:

• Light Utility & Luggage Trailers: Eliminates erratic empty-trailer bounce on single-axle box trailers and suburban runabouts.

• Camping Trailers & Light Caravans: Protects internal fittings, tent fixtures, and camping gear from sustained vibration over gravel and corrugated roads.

• Rubber Torsion (Rubbaride) Axle Assemblies: Direct companion damper for swing-arm rubber suspension systems requiring supplementary dynamic damping.

• Boat & PWC (Jet Ski) Trailers: Enhances tracking and prevents axle hop on light watercraft trailers traversing slipway approaches and highway routes.
