There are three major categories of shock absorbers, which are based on the way they react to force. (Note: This is not a discussion of shock absorber design, meaning twin-tube versus mono-tube.) ...

A shock absorber must dampen the movement of the wheel and the chassis at different speeds. When driving a vehicle on a smooth stretch of pavement, there is very little up-and-down movement of the ...

Continuing just-auto’s series of interviews with major component manufacturers, Matthew Beecham talked with Rolf Heinz Rüger, executive vice president, chassis technology, and head of business ...

From a technical perspective, what trends are you seeing in shock absorber design? At this point, there is an increasing demand for chassis that can be adjusted to the specific needs of the driver ...

This type of damper design can be tuned with high precision due to the large surface area of the piston and valving shims. The nitrogen chamber pressure is a key element to this design.
