BP -51 Bypass Shock Absorber
The new BP-51 series of high performance bypass dampers is the result of a comprehensive development process aimed at achieving the ultimate in comfort and control.
The BP-51 shock absorbers, which were developed, developed and tested in-house by ARB's team of Old Man Emu engineers, are vehicle-specific and utilize existing mounting locations to allow easy installation without additional vehicle modifications.
Unlike most other adjustable compression shock absorbers, the BP-51 Series provides independent rebound and compression adjustment for the vehicle to provide class-leading suspension adjustment. which can be tailored to individual vehicle or driving requirements. In addition to the speed-sensitive damping system used in most shock absorbers, where the faster the piston moves, the higher the damping produced, BP-51 shocks also create damping depending on the position of the piston within their bypass design the body of the shock absorber. While most shock absorbers produce damping only by the fluid flowing through the piston, the BP-51 provides an alternative path from one chamber to another, around the piston in the form of bypass channels. Part of the fluid flows through the piston and some of the fluid bypasses the piston in the bypass channels.
This results in the shock absorber being able to offer the best of both worlds, with a comfortable and compliant ride during normal driving and a more controlled ride over more challenging terrain. With greater degrees of damping generated at each end of the stroke, the piston slows down as it approaches full compression and expansion, preventing it from jumping out sharply against the stop, and making it easier to absorb larger shocks and waves. All BP-51 shocks are manufactured by ARB in-house. To achieve this, significant investments have been made in state-of-the-art machining and hard anodising equipment, allowing ARB to fully control the process to ensure the highest quality possible. BP-51 shock absorber bodies are manufactured from aerospace grade anodized aluminum (6061) to dissipate heat more efficiently than steel or alloyed steel and provide superior corrosion resistance. Extensive laboratory, real-world and destructive testing was conducted throughout the development process to ensure that reliability, longevity and performance are in line with ARB's sound standards.
