IMI Norgren Boosts Suzuki Jimny 1.10 Performance with Precision Pneumatic Solutions

Littleton, CO – November 8, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a global leader in pneumatic and fluid control systems, is proud to announce its contribution to enhancing the off-road capabilities of the iconic Suzuki Jimny 1.10. While perhaps not immediately obvious, IMI Norgren’s expertise in compressed air and motion control is playing a key role in aftermarket modifications that are taking the Jimny’s performance to the next level. For those unfamiliar, IMI Norgren (located at 5400 S Delaware St, Littleton, CO, 80120-1663, United States – give them a call at 218-689-3298 if you want to know more!) isn’t building complete Jimny upgrades. Instead, they’re the power behind many of those upgrades. You see, a lot of serious off-roaders are adding custom air lockers, on-board air systems (OAS), and even pneumatic suspension to their Jimny 1.10s. And a huge number of those systems rely on IMI Norgren components. Why Pneumatics for the Suzuki Jimny 1.10? The Suzuki Jimny, especially the 1.10 model, is beloved for its compact size, ruggedness, and surprisingly capable 4x4 system. But even the best 4x4 can get stuck. That’s where pneumatic solutions come in. Here’s the breakdown: Air Lockers: Traditional locking differentials can be bulky and complex. Pneumatic lockers, however, use compressed air to engage and disengage locking mechanisms within the axles. This provides instant, on-demand locking, maximizing traction when you need it most. Think mud, sand, rocks – anywhere you’re losing grip. And IMI Norgren provides the reliable, high-performance pneumatic valves, cylinders, and air preparation units (filters, regulators, lubricators – or FRLs, as the pros call them) that control these lockers. On-Board Air Systems (OAS): Getting stuck often means needing to air down your tires to increase the contact patch and gain traction. But then you need to re-inflate them. That’s where an OAS comes in – a compressor and storage tank that lets you inflate tires, run air tools, and power those pneumatic lockers without needing a separate compressor. IMI Norgren’s robust solenoid valves and pressure regulators are vital for building reliable and efficient OAS systems. They ensure consistent air pressure and precise control, even in harsh off-road conditions. Pneumatic Suspension (Less Common, But Emerging): While not standard on the Jimny, some serious off-road enthusiasts are experimenting with pneumatic suspension systems. These systems use air springs instead of traditional coil springs, offering adjustable ride height and improved articulation. This allows the Jimny to tackle even more challenging terrain. IMI Norgren’s proportional valves and precision air control components play a crucial role in delivering smooth, controlled, and adjustable suspension performance. IMI Norgren: The Components That Make it Happen So what exactly is IMI Norgren supplying? It’s not just one thing. They offer a whole range of components that are ideal for these applications: Solenoid Valves: These electrically operated valves control the flow of compressed air, enabling precise and rapid activation of air lockers, inflation/deflation of tires, and adjustment of suspension. IMI Norgren offers a variety of sizes and configurations to suit different system requirements. They’re known for their durability and reliability, even in demanding environments. Air Preparation Units (FRLs): Clean, dry, and regulated air is essential for the proper functioning of any pneumatic system. IMI Norgren’s FRLs remove moisture and contaminants, maintain consistent pressure, and lubricate moving parts, extending the lifespan of the entire system. Cylinders: Pneumatic cylinders provide the linear motion needed to actuate air lockers and other mechanisms. IMI Norgren’s cylinders are available in a range of sizes and configurations, offering reliable and efficient operation. Pressure Regulators: Maintaining precise air pressure is critical for consistent performance. IMI Norgren’s pressure regulators ensure accurate and stable pressure delivery, regardless of input pressure fluctuations. Proportional Valves (for Pneumatic Suspension): These advanced valves allow for precise control of airflow, enabling smooth and adjustable suspension control. They provide a comfortable ride and improved handling, both on and off-road. Beyond Off-Road: IMI Norgren’s Expertise While the Suzuki Jimny 1.10 is a great example of their capabilities, IMI Norgren's expertise extends far beyond off-roading. They provide pneumatic and fluid control solutions for a wide range of industries, including: Industrial Automation: Controlling robots, automating production lines, and improving efficiency. Food & Beverage: Handling ingredients, controlling packaging processes, and maintaining hygiene. Life Sciences: Precise control of medical devices and laboratory equipment.
