Monroe innovations

The company has a number of developments to its name. For example, it released oil-free shock absorbers with a mechanical valve, which changes compression ratio depending on speed and road surface type. This technology was named ASD (Acceleration Sensitive Damping). Apart from this, the company manufactures hydraulic components with damping adjustment within a short range of suspension travel. This eliminates steering wheel wobble. The technology is named MAD (Micro-Amplitude Damping).

The company developed a continuously variable semi-active suspension (CVSA). The system constantly monitors road conditions with the help of special sensors and adapts the suspension in accordance with them. The compression ratio is adjusted by means of a piston valve controlled by the ECU.

Monroe automotive parts series

• Original: this series of shock absorbers is designed specially for used cars. These parts can compensate for worn-out suspension due to high mileage. This is achieved thanks to the 15% increased stiffness of the parts, which makes up for the worn condition of springs and bushes, making the suspension feel like new.
• Reflex: this series of parts feature a twin set of discs inside the piston valve, called Twin Disc Technology. The piston itself has a teflon coating, which ensures minimum friction during movement. As a result, high damping response is achieved with even the slightest car body vibrations. This helps to ensure proper contact of tyres with the road surface, thus, improving vehicle stability when cornering sharply.
• Adventure 4x4: these components are designed for all-wheel-drive off-roaders and minivans. They are gas filled and have a monotube design. These shock absorbers are made to withstand extreme loads.
• Magnum: the parts of this series feature special bleed valves and hydraulic lockouts that limit suspension travel. The components of this series are designed for commercial vehicles.
