shock absorbers

Product Description

Shock absorbers are a mechanical device that absorbs or dampens shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. Shock absorbers are a significant part of automobile and motorcycle suspensions. Shock Absorbers are widely used in the vehicles suspension system. The shock absorbers diminish the outcome of traveling over uneven road. Due to shock absorbers one can have an improved ride quality. A vehicle without shock absorbers would result in a horrifying riding experience. The shock absorbers do not only prevent bouncing ride, but also controls the range of suspension movement. Without shock absorbers, an excessive suspension movement would require stiffer springs which would make the ride rougher. Shock absorbers are of great use especially in those roads which are full of bumps and uneven ground. It allows the use of soft springs which helps to control the rate of suspension movement in response to bumps. Not only this, they decrease the movement of the unsprung weight up and down on the springiness of the tire. Spring-based shock absorbers comprise coil springs or leaf springs. Springs can only store the energy, but it is shock absorbers that actually help to dissipate or absorb energy. Some vehicles use both springs or torsion bars and hydraulic shock absorbers.
