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