Dynamic Shock Absorber

The mechanism of a generic shock absorber is shown in Figure above . The components of the shock absorber are attached at the end of a piston rod that works against the hydraulic fluid of the pressure tube. While the suspension system moves up and down the hydraulic fluid is forced through tiny holes inside the piston creating a damping effect on the movement. This will reduce the speed of the piston which as a result will slow down the springs and the suspension movement reducing the effect of these vibrations on the vehicle’s body.
