What is the purpose of shock absorbers? Some friends are curious, there are coil springs to cushion the impact, what do we need shock absorbers? Because the coil spring will keep bouncing back and forth after the impact, which is equivalent to saying that your tires will bounce up and can't be retracted, and keep bouncing, so this time you need shock absorbers to restrain.
A good shock absorber can quickly absorb the impact together with the spring, and let the spring quickly rebound, and do not let the tire have a second bounce, and hold the tire firmly on the ground. The right damper damping will have good damping performance as well as support performance, but it is hard to have both, so the key to good suspension tuning is to adjust the damper damping to a very appropriate value. If the damping is too small, the shock absorber can't control the spring, and the tire has to move up and down several times to stabilize; the pneumatic anti-vibration device, together with the hydraulic damping cartridge design, the internal design of the damping mechanism can effectively avoid resonance phenomenon. Too much damping, the spring is compressed after the rebound difficulties, will reduce the grip of the tire, is not conducive to handling, the state should also be avoided.
