The Camcon® Binary Actuator has the potential to dramatically improve the performance and fuel consumption of petrol engines with its revolutionary binary valve technology.

The Camcon® Binary Actuator will enable the cylinders in an engine to be separated from the camshaft and fired under the control of an electronic engine management system, rather than under the mechanical control of the camshaft.

Based on experiments performed in Europe and US, the company estimates that its technology will reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%, whilst increasing power output by 25%.

In vehicle suspension applications the Camcon® Binary Actuator will enable the suspension of a vehicle to be managed on a dynamic basis using electronic management systems to alter the damping of a pneumatic suspension system depending on road conditions, load and number of passengers.
