We Ship All Over Canada: Built in Canada

Canadian Axel, based in Kingston, Ontario, is proud to serve all of Canada with our world-class FlexiRide torsion axles. From coast to coast, our axles provide superior performance, durability, and a smoother ride. But our commitment extends beyond just supplying the best product – we are deeply invested in fostering Canadian innovation and supporting the next generation of engineers. A key part of this investment is our partnerships with leading Canadian universities.

University Engineering Partnerships: FlexiRide Systems in Mechanical Engineering Education

Canadian universities are at the forefront of mechanical engineering research and education. To provide students with real-world experience and prepare them for the challenges of the industry, many institutions incorporate advanced components and systems into their curricula. That’s where FlexiRide torsion axles come in.

Our innovative torsion axles are used in a variety of applications within university engineering programs, offering students hands-on learning opportunities. Here are a few examples:

• Suspension System Design: Students utilize FlexiRide axles in designing and analyzing complete suspension systems for various vehicle types, from trailers to off-road vehicles. They learn about load distribution, stress analysis, and ride quality optimization.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): FlexiRide axles serve as case studies for FEA projects. Students model the axle’s complex geometry and material properties to predict its performance under different loading conditions.
• Experimental Testing and Validation: Universities use our axles in lab settings to conduct experimental testing. Students measure parameters like deflection, stress, and damping characteristics, comparing their findings with theoretical models and FEA results. This provides valuable validation experience.
• Formula SAE & Baja SAE Projects: Many student engineering teams participating in Formula SAE and Baja SAE competitions integrate FlexiRide axles into their vehicle designs. The robust and reliable nature of our axles is crucial for these demanding applications.
• Materials Science Research: The unique material properties and manufacturing processes involved in creating FlexiRide axles provide a fascinating subject for materials science students.

By working with FlexiRide axles, students gain a deeper understanding of suspension system dynamics, materials science, and engineering design principles. This practical experience significantly enhances their skills and prepares them for successful careers in the automotive, transportation, and manufacturing industries.

Why Choose FlexiRide for Your Project (and for Education!)
