A new suspension technology
Ales technology was originally born to meet the high standards of the Hyperloop transportation system, with a new concept of active suspension system.
Ales Tech is focused on the development of active electric suspensions for EVs and has reached a first sample for a commercial vehicle.
Today EV are equipped with standard suspension systems, characterized by limited control capabilities and maintenance issues.
Ales Tech is working towards a new generation of suspensions that can improve the riding quality of electric and hybrid vehicles, while extending their range. In a future of self–driving shared vehicles, active vibration control maximizes the comfort on-board, transforming the vehicle in an environment suitable for other activities.
ALES, Active Linear Electric Suspension, is specifically designed to be integrated into the architecture of Electric Vehicles.
ALES merges cutting edge technologies into a new control system that pushes the boundaries of dynamic performance, unlocking new features that maximize the power management of the vehicle and the comfort for the passengers.

KEY FEATURES
HIGH PERFORMANCE
The linear electric motor allows to control the applied force with high precision and fast response. It unlocks a huge potentiality in terms of dynamics vehicle performances.
ALES predictive control algorithm adjusts the system performance to road conditions.
System versatility given by control software integration. The need of suspension tuning is replaced by over-the-air software settings and updates.
REGENERATIVE SUSPENSION
Electromagnetic elements allow to restore energy from vibrations and to convert it into electrical energy to the battery.
Linear design coupled with direct drive transducer allow to reach high system efficiency compared to rotary or gear-pump active competitive solutions.
DEDICATED SENSORS AND ELECTRONICS
ALES is equipped with dedicated sensors that measure position and acceleration of the system with high precision.
Electronics comprises a servo drive for force control for each corner and a central suspension control unit that executes control algorithm.
FAIL-SAFE DESIGN
The motor is directly connected to a safety switch that operates during emergency conditions activating electrical dissipation mode, ensuring mechanical damping behavior.
Thanks to its versatility, the system can be adapted to other typologies of vehicles, from cars to high-speed trains, roller-coasters, and potentially to any high-frequency vibrating device, such as industrial machines.
