The mechanism "Suspension Ver. MIL" has been designed to cooperate with any type of seat installed in extreme or pleasure high speed crafts and in need of shock mitigation. The term "MIL" stands for "MILitary", because this mechanism was originally designed for satisfying the Greek Navy requirements. Since then the original designs have been improved to meet a wider range of applications. The mechanism has been designed to satisfy mostly the passengers who prefer the standing/ straddling position rather than the seated position. Our goal to be in the fore front of HSC seats manufactures led us to: • Öhlins, the worldwide leader in racing motor sports and famous for their passion for innovations and their state-of-the-art technology (more about Öhlins: here), for producing dedicated shocks. • “Systems and Measurements” Laboratory in Electrical & computer Engineering Dept. of University of Patras, Greece for carrying out Test-bed experiments and measurements. • Advanced technology adoption for improving the reliability and product life span. The perfect quality of the shock, combined with the dedicated settings made by the Greek Öhlins Team and the detailed design (low friction joints, bearings, materials, settings, painting, strength, dynamic response, comfort, etc), places this suspension system among the leaders of its category. The mechanism has been tested for shock mitigation from -4g to 4g under frequencies 5-30Hz according to: • ISO 2631-5 "Mechanical vibration and shock - Evaluation of human exposure to whole-body vibration - NATO RTO-MP-AVT-110 “Shock Mitigation for the Human on High Speed Craft: Development of an Part 5: Method for evaluation of vibration containing multiple shocks". Impact Injury Design Rule”.
