NTR46/22 RANGE

The NTR46/22 is Nitron's range of MacPherson struts.  The struts use the same 46mm diameter piston as the NTR46/16 series but instead use a large 22mm diameter piston rod to withstand the inherent bending forces from this layout.  There are essentially two types of strut tube Nitron use as part of their NTR car kits, the first has plain tubes that go directly into the upright, for example Porsche 996/BMW E46.  The second is a 'foot bracket' where this application-specific assembly screws onto a threaded body tube, by doing so offering length adjustment, for example Mitsubishi Evo/BMW E36.

NTR46/22 KEY FEATURES

- Lightweight rod-up design
- Fully CNC billet machined and screwed together, no welding
- Alloy parts fully titanium and hard anodised (Defence Std. 03-26/2) so no corrosion
- Steel tubes have black electroplated finish for ultimate durability
- Fully re-buildable and re-valvable
- Infinite range of bump / rebound ratios, which can be changed at any time
- Low friction double point rod seal and double acting rod scraper system
- Separate nitrogen gas charge with fully floating aluminium piston design
- Teflon banded piston and floating piston; no metal to metal contact
- Take 60mm / 2.5" ID racing coils
- Highest quality Teflon lined spherical bearings
- Infinite ride height adjustment, lock rings included
- Top plate assemblies isolated on needle-roller bearings for precise steering

There are three types of shock available, the NTR Sport, NTR Track and NTR Race.  These have one, two and three damping adjustments respectively.

NTR Sport
The single adjuster knob on the top of the rod affects both bump and rebound together for simple setup and more road-biased use.  These shocks have no remote reservoir.

NTR Track
As its name suggests, these shocks are designed for the more circuit-orientated car or bike.  The shocks feature independent bump and rebound adjusters, making it 2-way adjustable for more detailed chassis tuning. They have remote reservoirs that are either hose or piggyback mounted onto the main shock.

NTR Race
These shocks are designed for serious race use, and as such incorporate high and low speed bump control valves for further chassis fine tuning.  As with the NTR Track, these 3-way shocks feature remote canisters that are either hose or piggyback mounted.

Nitron provide a full CAD design service to its customers so feel free to contact us to assist you in the design of your shock, either using existing parts we have or we can design and machine special parts for you.

Nitron do not manufacture any 'upside down' struts or inserts, all Nitron's struts have the piston rod and the rebound adjuster at the top, with any remote reservoir coming off the bottom end.
