What is automotive shock absorber and what are its functions?
03-27,2024
Automotive shock absorber is a device used to reduce shock and vibration during movement of a vehicle. It cushions vibration and improves ride comfort and driving stability by consuming and absorbing energy from the vehicle suspension system.
Main functions of an automotive shock absorber:
1. Reduced vibration: The shock absorber can reduce vibration caused by uneven roads and vehicle speed changes during drives, and therefore create smoother ride experience for passengers.
2. Improved performance of the suspension system: The shock absorber can reduce vibration of the suspension system and wear of suspension components, thus prolonging the service life of the suspension system.
3. Better maneuverability: By reducing the vehicle's roll and forward/backward sway, the shock absorber can improve the vehicle's maneuverability, leading to more stable and flexible driving.
4. Higher safety: The shock absorber can improve the vehicle's grip force and stability, reduce shaking in the course of braking for better braking performance, and consequently contribute to higher driving safety.
5. More ride comfort: The shock absorber can mitigate jolt and vibration during drives, improve ride comfort, and reduce fatigue of drivers and passengers.

Advantages of vika shock absorber:
Appearance: A fully automatic mechanical welding process characterized by small welded joints and constant welding temperature, angle, and duration leads to more elegant and robust products. A clip is used for tighter fit between the product and its dustproof cover.
Piston rod:
Material: standard 45# steel
Process: mechanical processing (precision grinding), high-frequency quenching, and chromium-plating.
Working cylinder: The working cylinder is produced with refined tubes (cold-drawn seamless steel tubes) with inner surface subject to high-precision treatment.
Valve body: A self-locking nut process prevents nuts from loosening effectively while maintaining a constant damping force level of the valve body for long.
Piston: The piston is designed in such a way to ensure close contact with the wall of the working cylinder and to eliminate oil leakage between them, thus achieving a stale damping force level.
Valve block: A more compact structure is created thank to the use of a latest process form.
Oil seal: World class NOK oil seal
Oil: Provide good resistance to foaming and shear loads. It helps reduce idle stroke of the product and wear of internal valve parts, thus contributing to longer life of the product.
