Shock absorber

for cars and trucks

1. the function of shock absorbers in vehicles

Shock absorbers are essential components of a vehicle that contribute significantly to safety and driving comfort. Their main task is to dampen the up and down movements of the vehicle caused by uneven road surfaces or obstacles. This prevents the wheels from losing contact with the road and ensures even load distribution across all four wheels. This prevents the wheels from losing contact with the road and ensures even load distribution to all four wheels. The The function of shock absorbers is crucial to ensure the stability of the vehicle.

Without shock absorbers, the vehicle would rock strongly on any bump and be unsafely controlled, which would significantly increase the risk of accidents. In addition, shock absorbers protect the vehicle structure and other components from excessive loads caused by vibrations and shocks.

Modern shock absorbers consist of a cylinder in which a piston moves. This piston is filled with a liquid or gas that flows through special valves to control the up and down movements. In this way, the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, dampening the movements of the body.
