How the Shock Absorber Works

Shock absorber (Absorber), the shock absorber is mainly used to suppress the shock and the impact from the road surface when the spring rebounds after shock absorption. When passing through an uneven road, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter the vibration of the road, the spring itself will also have a reciprocating motion, and the shock absorber is used to suppress the spring jump.

If the shock absorber is too soft, the body will jump up and down. If the shock absorber is too hard, it will bring too much resistance and prevent the spring from working properly.

In the modification process of the suspension system, the hard shock absorber should be matched with the hard spring, and the hardness of the spring is closely related to the weight of the car, so the heavier car generally adopts the harder shock absorber. The device connected to the shock-inducing crankshaft is used to counteract the torsional vibration of the crankshaft (that is, the phenomenon that the crankshaft is twisted by the impact force of the cylinder ignition).

In order to rapidly attenuate the vibration of the frame and the body and improve the ride comfort and comfort of the car, shock absorbers are generally installed on the car suspension system.
