Honeycomb

Crash boxes offer a very high energy absorption capacity. They work parallel to the coupler and are typically combined with anti-climbers for optimal structural collapse, because there are not designed to transfer high vertical and lateral loads.

Due to their unit cell configurations, honeycomb structures offer excellent mechanical performance.

• Honeycomb design
• 200-3000kN
• stroke 50-1000mm
• Short built-in length
• Optional with anti-climber plate
• non-reversible energy absorption (must be replaced after use)
• absorbs residual impact after initial collision
• shape can vary to fit the space available

Crashworthiness refers to a vehicle’s ability to protect occupants during a collision. Designing lightweight energy absorption components can improve safety and reduce fuel use and emissions. Due to their unit cell configurations, honeycomb structures offer excellent mechanical performance and are used in automobiles, railway vehicles, and more.
