Although there are several types of shocks, from the standpoint of design and function, now mainly the use of telescopic hydraulic dampers over several decades, as conventional shock, have been refined after their performance with other more sophisticated designs.
Operating shock:
Basically, the operation of a shock absorber is as follows:
A piston attached to a shaft that is joined to the sprung mass, works in a cylinder filled with a special oil for shock absorbers.
The piston separates the cylinder into two chambers and the oil flow from one to another is done through a set of integrated valves in the piston, there are also holes for the passage of oil which is permanent (see Figure 1) valve, and prestressed plates allow the flow of oil from one chamber to another when pressure exceeds a certain (see Figure 2)
The permanent way through these holes is fixed, restricting the flow of the flow, except when the shock is a monotube adjustable, in which case the regulation is to vary the diameter of the orifice and the flow rate accordingly. keep reading ...
