Hydraulic Load-CenteringSpring Perch HardwareHyperco…Engineering that’sSecond to None.Optimum race car suspension components mustbe designed for consistent performance, an infinitefatigue life and absolute minimum weight.At Hyperco, we look at every aspect of design.– Is it as light as possible?– Is it the optimal design that can be produced?As we search for the answers to these questions,we continuously research and develop materialsand techniques to further our product line.Through our research and development efforts,we’ve designed a collection of new and innovativecomponents. They are designed, tested andmanufactured with the same attention to detailthat has made our other products winners on theracetrack—ensuring that these components alsoprovide a Performance Advantage.Off-Track InnovationEquals On-Track Breakthroughs.In racing, tire grip and low wear rate, are critical for maximumperformance. Unfortunately, one of the common characteristicsof coil springs is that they do not naturally distribute their loadevenly around the face of their end coils thus generating a lateralload. The lateral force creates a bending load in the shock absorber,significantly increasing its friction; the result is lower tire grip andincreased wear.The Hyperco/ICP Hydraulic Load Centering Spring Perches substantiallyimprove performance by allowing the spring forces to remaincentered on the damper. By precise shaping of the sealing wall ofboth the perch and cylinder body, the perch can freely tilt as neededto evenly distribute the load over the face of the perch. The result,a reduction of bending load on the shock absorber of up to 96%along with an enhancement in mechanical grip at the tire.Racing teams in Formula One, Champ Car, Indy Car, and Trans Am,along with Formula Atlantic, Midgets, Dirt & Pavement Late Models,Motorcycles… etc., benefit from the winning performance of theHyperco/ICP Hydraulic Load-Centering Spring Perch components.Available for all popular shock absorber brands/applications.ECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH HYPERCO PRODUCTSTECH-TIPSHyperco/ICP Hydraulic (load centering) Spring Perches should be installedat both ends of the spring when running free lengths of 10” or less. Forfree lengths above 10” it is advisable to run them on only one end.10For a complete listing of hyperco tech-tips visit our website at: www.hypercoils.com
