Adaptive Spike Motor Launch
The ASM sets new standards for launch coasters and other roller coasters with just a few, but absolutely high-tech components. Extremely powerful and highly efficient direct drives transmit their enormous torque directly and almost loss-free to the two redundant racks of the track. Multiple teeth engage simultaneously. They can be shifted against each other, so that the gear automatically adapts to inaccuracies.
The innovative vertical track enables an extraordinarily lightweight design of the train, for example by reducing it to just one boogie per rickshaw, so that the high drive power can be used directly for brute acceleration.
As a result, the ASM Launch is a multifunctional roller coaster system that offers a number of advantages over conventional launch drives, while being significantly more cost-effective to manufacture and operate.
Product Information
Unique ride figures
ASM Launch coasters not only offer unlimited possibilities for the design of sensational coasters, but far beyond that, completely new ride figures and ride profiles without regard to the force of gravity. Ride a roller coaster not with, but against gravity!
Versatile alternative to conventional drive concepts
Replaces not only conventional launch technologies such as LSM and friction wheel, but also chain lifts and offers completely new possibilities, such as the Hump Lift, Infini- and Centrifuge Launch.
Landmarks and records
Whether family, family thrill or extreme thrill, the ASM turns every ride into a world first and sets new records.
Flexible layout design
Perfectly suited for what other roller coasters cannot do or can only do with great effort, e.g. longer show sections and storytelling sections, flat track layout through existing buildings or a grand, energetic finale right before the station.
High adaptability
Different ride profiles, e.g. for thrill-seekers and children, easy adaptability to new requirements and even expandability of the entire ride for long-term security of the investment.
No evacuation facilities required
Full redundancy with two seperate powertrains ensures maximum operational safety and eliminates the need for special evacuation concepts and equipment.
