A shock absorber is a mechanical or hydraulic device that dampens and controls unwanted spring motion and vibrations in a vehicle’s suspension system.
How It Works
- Energy conversion: It changes the kinetic energy of up-and-down suspension movements into heat energy.
- Fluid resistance: A piston moves inside a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid and forces the oil through tiny valves.
- Motion control: This restricted fluid flow creates resistance that slows down the bouncing springs
Main Functions
- Tire contact: Keeps tires firmly pressed against the road.
- Stability: Reduces vehicle body roll during turns and nose-diving when braking.
- Comfort: Smooths out rough rides and absorbs harsh road impacts.
