What Is A Shock Absorber

The demand for shock absorbers (Shock Absorber; Damper) is that the spring cannot stabilize immediately, that is to say, after the spring is compressed and then released, it will continue to expand and contract for a period of time, so the shock absorber can absorb the bumps encountered by the wheel. The vibration caused by the road surface makes the ride comfortable.

The shock absorber is not used to support the weight of the body but to suppress the shock of the spring and absorb the energy of the road impact when it rebounds after shock absorption. If you have ever driven a car with a broken shock absorber, you can experience the bouncing of the car after passing through every pothole and ups and downs, and the shock absorber is used to suppress such bouncing. Without a shock absorber, the rebound of the spring will not be controlled. When the car encounters a rough road, there will be a serious bounce. When cornering, the vibration of the spring up and down will also cause the loss of tire grip and tracking. The ideal situation is to use the shock to limit the spring bounce to one time.
