  • Rigorous testing in extreme conditions during design process

  • Innovative tooling designs for consistently high quality products

 

KIT120

Years of experience and testing give SuperPro a unique grade of engineered polyurethane. At SuperPro we aim to achieve zero warranty claims and most of our customers will support our progress and history in this area.  For example. Tenneco Automotive, a worldwide ride-control manufacturer uses a range of SuperPro manufactured bushes in their shock absorbers. In one review of over 400,000 parts supplied over 2 years, Tenneco reported zero warranty claims or returns.    

Key to Quality: Our diverse partners

Quality is maintained at SuperPro by developing and proving both the material and the product design in the some very diverse environments in the world. SuperPro bushings have been subject to harsh conditions ranging from track racing, rally competition use, to off-road and beach recreational four wheel driving.

Maintaining access to these environments is attributed to serving the global automotive market, and through partnerships developed by SuperPro between the following OEM manufacturers and suppliers:

  • Tenneco Automotive, A range of SuperPro polyurethane bushings to suit both their original and aftermarket ride control products in Australia and South Africa.

  • Powerdown, an original equipment and aftermarket supplier to the Australian road transport industry use SuperPro polyurethane to meet the extreme conditions imposed by roads, loads and distances.

  • Mack Trucks use various components made with SuperPro polyurethane which are fitted to these vehicles as original equipment.

  • General Motors Holden use SuperPro alignment correction kits as part of their Parts and Accessories program.

  • Australian Defence Force have utilised SuperPro polyurethane to improve the useful life of various components.

abrasion-resistance

This provides development and testing under an enormous range of conditions, and has helped in the development of a material that will withstand climatic conditions throughout the world. For example, The polyurethanes used in the SuperPro range remain flexible at very low temperatures and posses outstanding resistance to thermal shock.

SuperPro polyurethane bushings have been successfully used on Antarctic expeditions in the suspension of Toyota Landcruisers. Temperatures in Antarctica rarely get above 15°C, and can plummet below 50°C. SuperPro has also been sold for over 10 years in northern Europe and Canada

All SuperPro products go through elaborate production quality checks in accordance with proven systems. SuperPro has its own life cycle and functionality testing equipment as well as conducting definitive abrasion and duro hardness tests. These are used to confirm that the product has been produced with correct mixing ratio, and cure conditions. A NATA approved laboratory performs all backup and support testing of the product and material.

Research and Development

Engineered designs

SuperPro designs incorporate the latest technology in polyurethane, as developed by the SuperPro Research and Development Team. Design features such as bullet grooves, knurled and spiral bores and grease grooves ensure that the product performs at the highest standards without transmitting any excess noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

SuperPro components are produced to the highest achievable tolerances for polyurethane. This is essential for the correct fit of each component, resulting in the maximisation of product life and to ensure that the vehicle componentry is not over stressed and damaged. All the steelwork used in the product range is precision machined for precision fitment.

Research & development

Research and development is critical in the continual improvement of the SuperPro product range. The gathering of information used to improve the product never ends. Our dedicated R & D team delivers on the following functions:

  • Constant re-engineering and testing on Fulcrums own fleet of cars and four-wheel-drives.
  • Cyclic testing performed on specifically designed testing equipment offers valuable information on the products durability.
  • Utilising customer feedback to develop better products.
  • The heat, dust, harsh roads and vast expanse of Australia and the race circuits, rally trails, speedways and drag strips provide the perfect test bed to ensure top performance and reliability.
  • Successfully tested in the diversified climates of Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, Middle East, South Pacific, UK and USA.

Additionally, products are rigorously tested under extreme conditions in the terrain of the real world. These components are also subject to bump & rebound tests, whereby their ability to compress and return back to the original form is tested for consistency

History of SuperPro

 


 

  • We have manufactured polyurethane bushings and suspension parts since 1983

  • Originally part of the Fulcrum Suspensions group; over 40 years history & experience in automotive suspension

  • Experience that has led to growth in exports and sales to worldwide OEM and Tier-1 suppliers

 

History is not a static view of the past. It is the bedrock for experience, wisdom, and the springboard for innovation. SuperPro harnesses product wisdom experience and rich development to improve the quality of every product and process we provide.

In 1983, Graham Scudamore-Smith and founding company Fulcrum Suspensions, embarked on the process of combining cast polyurethane with the manufacture of their very own bushes. Initially used on two wheel drive cars, by 1985 after ongoing problems with wear and tear with leaf spring bushes on 40 and 45 Series Landcruisers, the company started to design and produce Suspension bushes for the emerging 4x4 market.

Below illustrates the colourful timeline of industry-first developmental milestones that has driven real-world results and incidentally garnered a reputation for leadership in global automotive polyurethane manufacturing. 

 

Since 1970, the innovative progression of SuperPro has produced the following improvements: 

  • Bullet Grooves  Allowing for variances in control arms or spring eyes

 

  • Double-Helix Grooves Used inside the bush and outside surface of the crush tube. Especially suitable for greaseable shackles

 

  • Self-Lubrication Extends bush durability, excludes contaminants and assists polyurethane flow into grooves

 

  • Voiding Allows polyurethane to be displaced into grooves under load, reducing NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness)

 

  • Knurling Reduced surface area ensures unrestricted pivoting of control arms

 

  • Caster off set Bushings Provide caster correction in non-adjustable suspensions

 

  • Tangential Grease Grooves Allows grooves to store grease; reducing friction between shackle bush heads and shackle plates, which reduces noise

 

  • Extreme Factor Extra offset castor correction bushings for extreme-lift 4WD applications

 

  • Superior Raw Material New advanced technology in polyurethanes

 

  • Turbo Style Voiding A high performance bushing to reduce engine movement & minimise transmission of high frequency vibrations by use of a unique turbo pattern

Other key milestones include over 30 years of exporting experience to the harshest environments in the world, which has established a strong European and North American distribution presence since 1999.
