General Description
Cavitation is devastating to a shock absorber because it means a loss of damping and is something you definitely don't want to experience in your shock absorber. The small bubbles in the oil that are created during cavitation can never support the desired damping properties of your shock absorber.Traditionally designed dampers can easily fall victim to cavitation under extreme conditions due to the low pressure behind the piston.
The TTX system was designed by Öhlins development engineers to prevent the risk of cavitation in the shock absorber. The plan worked. Thanks to a well thought-out pressure balance of the TTX technology, the risk of cavitation was eliminated from the shock absorber.
The “TT” stands for “Twin Tube”, i.e. the two-tube design, while the “X” in the name describes the flow direction or the arrangement of the valves in the cylinder head of the TTX shock absorber.
Thanks to TTX technology, the pressure that normally occurs directly above the piston is passed on towards the cylinder head and to the compression and rebound damping regulators.
It then enters the free space between the inner and outer tubes on the opposite side of the piston. Thanks to sophisticated drilling and well-thought-out channel routing, all of this happens so quickly that you could almost say that the pressure ratio is balanced on both sides of the piston.
The reservoir of the TTX damper is only used when the shock absorber is compressed and extended to collect the oil that has expanded due to heating or that has been displaced by the piston shaft, or to return it to the circuit. In the reservoir there is a separating piston between the damper oil and the nitrogen on the other side of the separating piston. The gas generates an oil pressure of six to nine bar, which basically corresponds to the static pressure on both sides of the main piston.
In addition to using it in shock absorbers, Öhlins also uses TTX technology in the construction of front forks and cartridge kits. As is already known from Öhlins, TTX technology was first introduced in the racing sector after long series of tests in order to win races and championships under extreme conditions.
Just two years after its introduction in racing, TTX technology was available for purchase by anyone. After the great success in sport and with supersport and superbike motorcycles for the road, the development has now also found its way into the area of dual-sport motorcycles and travel enduros. TTX technology is also equipped for use in the mechatronics segment.
