Common challenges
Extreme environments

Performance under severe service conditions.

Abrasion and impact

Resistance to abrasion, sediment and impact.

Reliability

Reliability in critical applications.

Compliance

Compliance with demanding specifications.

Durability and service life

Long maintenance intervals and reliability throughout the life of the vehicle.

Engineering solutions for the most demanding challenges

We co-develop components tailored to the operational, regulatory, and performance requirements of this sector. We work on a made-to-order basis, starting from each client's specific challenge.

Every project begins with a detailed needs analysis conducted by our technical team. From there, we develop the solution concept and move on to prototyping, validation, and manufacturing.

Developed technical solutions

Each solution addresses a specific technical problem, with documented approaches and applications.

Track pads for armoured vehicles

Technical specifications

Refurbishment or supply of steel-rubber track pads for fitting to the tracks of armoured vehicles.

On the road, they increase grip — improving braking, acceleration and cornering control — and prevent the pavement damage caused by direct metal contact. They also reduce the noise and vibration transmitted to the crew and extend the service life of the track system.

Technical challenges

High resistance to abrasion, impact, compression, fatigue and extreme temperatures, retaining dimensional stability and performance under severe operating conditions. Easy maintenance.

To meet these requirements, Flexocol has developed its own rubber formulation which, under the same operating conditions, delivers up to three times the durability in abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.

Applications

Military vehicles, special vehicles, heavy equipment and systems subject to high mechanical stress.

Typical applications

No items found.

Wheel coverings for armoured vehicles

Technical specifications

Extremely abrasion-resistant rubber coverings applied to the wheels of armoured vehicles, providing impact resistance, grip and vibration-absorption capacity.

Technical challenges

High resistance to abrasion, cutting, tearing, impact and dynamic loads, retaining the mechanical properties under extreme temperatures and prolonged use.

Applications

Military and armoured vehicles, special vehicles, heavy-transport equipment and industrial applications subject to high wear.

Typical applications

No items found.
