Nitron elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)

 

The Nitron Damper Control Unit (DCU) with wiring harness allows you to transform your shock set up from passive damping to a semiactive system. Nitron’s elec-TRON valve is continually adjusting the damping levels every 5 milliseconds, depending on the information it receives from the DCU. The DCU decides what position the valve should be in (and therefore what damping levels are created) by assessing all the data it receives about the car, its attitude and the forces acting on it (braking, cornering and accelerating). 

By fitting a DCU in conjunction with elec-TRON shock absorbers, your vehicle not only benefits from having extremely high performance Nitron dampers, but these dampers are constantly adjusting themselves to provide you with optimised levels of grip and comfort. 

The DCU is fitted with a 6 position rotary control switch, which allows the user to access a number of pre-installed damping maps for their specific vehicle. Damping will continue to be constantly optimised, but the overall damping levels will be determined by the user’s selection.

the Nitron elec-TRON Range

 

The Nitron elec-TRON range is a fusion of world-renowned Nitron quality and attention to detail, combined with cutting-edge electronic valve technology. At the heart of the system is Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve, delivering unparalleled precision and control over the damping system. Each shock absorber in the elec-TRON system is equipped with an independent valve, allowing for individual damping control at each wheel. This is essential for optimising handling, stability and ride comfort.
