Rides and flight simulators

Rides are an exciting thrill for the guests of an amusement park – for the equipment, an extreme challenge. Movements have to be safely cushioned and controlled, all the way to the case of a free fall. 

Another application: flight simulators. In these machines, the pilot needs to experience on the ground exactly what will be demanded of him or her in the air. The movements of the simulator and seat are realistic, just how they need to be. 

Functionality

Stabilus Group gas springs and damper elements are used in 3D simulators as well as driving and flight simulators. They make it possible to experience the wild ride that an actual pilot has to handle, while significantly reducing the mechanical demands placed on the equipment. In addition, our gas springs help with individual adjustment of the seat, steering wheel, rudder pedals, and other cockpit elements. Damper elements are also installed on the tripod, in addition to the hydraulic cylinders. 

When a free fall creates an emergency situation at the amusement park, our shock absorbers of every size are there to fully brake the application in the shortest time possible.

New mobility in the urban environment

Whether an e-bike or an electric cargo bike or scooter, the rider is in direct contact with the structure. Good thing products from the Stabilus Group protect against the unevenness in the ground, turning every journey into an easygoing ride or a healthful way to work. 

The trend of bike riding is plain to see on everyday city streets – and the development of this trend means we need bike parking. Stabilus Group gas springs support simple, quick, and easy placement of the bike in these applications. 

Functionality

Stabilus Group profile dampers provide damping for structural elements such as the running board of an electric scooter – and it does so with particular effectiveness through a gentle increase in force with a long stroke. Another important task the dampers fulfill in cargo bikes and electric trikes is steering stabilization. The Stabilus Group’s braking systems with variable adjustment absorb chassis movement and improve safety as well as comfort of the ride. 

A further application area of our gas springs: They support the rain cover or flap over the cargo bike’s box during opening and closing.
