Rear shock absorber chassis Fiat Ducato 250/290 of GAS Monotubo, length 440mm for motorhomes.

At MITORTUGA.ES we are passionate about the improvement and research of new products for our MOTORHOMES, we are very clear that the shock absorbers of any vehicle are one of the key pieces to maintain FULL SAFETY AND EXTRAORDINARY COMFORT on our leisure trips with our MOTORHOMES all over the world.

We know that this product is more expensive than a standard conventional shock absorber, but we also know about the difference in the product that we are dealing with, as in other aspects of the automotive industry, users prepare their all-terrain vehicles, etc. Well, now we can also doing it with our MOTORHOME, as we say here is like night and day.

ORAP is one of the leading brands of shock absorbers in the world of competition in all its branches such as asphalt circuit, of road Dakar Rally, 4x4 and now in Spain with us in the world of MOTORHOME, a company founded in 1974.

In order to locate your model, it would be convenient to disassemble your shock absorber and compare its measurements.

Shock absorbers, along with tires and brakes, are part of the so-called "Safety Triangle" of vehicles.

Every vehicle, from small SUVs to the largest trucks or motorhomes, includes damping technology designed to improve road performance and help protect critical components from premature wear or breakdown.

Without this technology, the comfort and safety of the driver would be affected, as well as the useful life of other elements and systems of the vehicle. An effective damping system includes multiple components, one of the most important of which is the damper.

The monotube shock advantage

Unlike the twin tube design, a monotube shock is a high pressure gas shock that includes only one cylinder divided into two chambers (one filled with pressurized nitrogen gas and one above it filled with hydraulic fluid). The gas and oil are separated by a floating piston (which prevents any aeration or cavitation), and a piston valve assembly connected to the stem that sits in the fluid part of the tube. This type of design offers numerous advantages.

When the piston rod displaces oil in compression, the nitrogen in the lower chamber is also compressed. Since nitrogen is subject to volume variations, it works like a spring. The continuous pressure exerted by the gas on the oil inside the tube ensures instant response to changing road conditions, providing faster damping reaction and, as a result, better handling control and grip capabilities. . While these characteristics may give the sensation of a stiffer ride in some passenger cars, monotube shocks are an ideal solution for larger vehicles, sports car applications, 4x4's and MOTORHOMES.

Although externally the dimensions of a twin tube and monotube shock may appear the same, the size of the piston in a twin tube design is limited by the outer cylinder, reducing cylinder size and capacity. This usually results in lower pressure. By comparison, monotube shocks include more oil and a larger piston, which creates a wider zone of pressure. This not only improves damping precision, it also allows for more efficient heat dissipation.

In terms of use, one of the few limitations of monotube shocks is related to their use in off-road applications; where piston stroke is a key factor. In off-road vehicles, shock absorber stroke used to be an important technical requirement for the suspension, in order to absorb the movements of the tire when going over rough terrain and obstacles. In the case of monotube shocks, due to their internal design, the piston rod stroke is limited to the part of the working chamber located above the floating piston, while in the case of double tube shocks this limitation It does not occur because the piston can move to the lower end of the working chamber where the compression valve is located. For this reason, double tube technology is the most used for all-terrain vehicles and now also in MOTORHOMES.
