As Britain's foremost manufacturer of hydraulic screw type cartridge valves, custom manifold blocks and quick release couplings, Sterling Hydraulics has built an enviable reputation on wide ranging designs to meet the toughest conditions that industry can devise.
Technical expertise has enabled Sterling Hydraulics to design the hydraulic system for Thrust SSC, used on the Active
Suspension System, a key factor to the performance of the car, particularly as it goes through the sound barrier.
The suspension unit is fully adjustable for softness and hardness, plus damping for both front and rear wheels.
Levelling for the rear wheels only, adjusts the attitude of the car as it builds up speed. Correct downforce on the car due to air-speed is critical - too much downforce and the car could dig in, conversely, too little and the car could lift off.
Failsafe/emergency backup to the rear wheels only. If the hydraulics fail for any reason, the car is put at a safe angle to retain control.
Quick Release Couplings which feature flush faces, enable surfaces to be wiped clean before connection. Rotation of a sleeve lock after connection, prevents accidental disconnection during pre-run checks or from excessive vibration.
