We Have Partnered with the University of Bristol for an Innovative R&D Project
We are currently participating in an exciting research and development project working with the University of Bristol.
Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) the project is being lead by Dr Jason Zheng Jiang, a lecturer in dynamics and control from the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. It focuses on creating an improved damper design in order to maximise its performance capabilities.
“Working closely with Camloc Motion Control as the experts in product design and manufacturing, our overall aim is to improve specialist design techniques and constitute a major step towards application in multiple industrial sectors – including road and rail transportation, civil engineering and aerospace engineering,” explains Dr Zheng Jiang.
Along with other commercial partners, we will be actively involved in the development – leading on prototype manufacture – and company Director Matt Warne is pleased with the progress made so far.
“This is an incredibly exciting piece of work and we are honoured to collaborate with Dr Zheng Jiang and such a prestigious university,” says Matt. “Although still early days, this may well lead to significant improvements in the UK’s capability for advanced design, which will enable our high-end manufacturing industry to maintain its competitive edge in the future, so for Camloc to play such a pivotal role is hugely satisfying for the whole business.”

How gas struts can help prevent accidents and injuries
Gas struts do so much more than allow a wide range of motion control across multiple applications. Their ability to provide movement, maintain durability and support various movements in machinery can help to keep individuals safe. For example, gas struts play a crucial role in preventing accidents and injuries by providing controlled and smooth movements in industrial equipment.
Enhancing safety and ergonomics with gas struts in industrial equipment
At Camloc Motion Control, we design and manufacture a wide range of engineered gas springs, struts and damper solutions to fit your requirements. Whether your project involves the door of a specialist vehicle or the hidden mechanisms of an operating table, our solutions will help you achieve the range of motion for whatever your application requires.
