How many types of car shock absorbers are there?

There are various types of car shock absorbers, and according to their manufacturing materials, we mainly have rubber shock absorbers, spring shock absorbers, and air shock absorbers.

Rubber shock absorbers are widely used for their excellent wear resistance and isolation performance; Spring shock absorbers rely on their elastic deformation to absorb and consume energy, thereby reducing vibration; Air shock absorbers utilize the compressibility of gas to achieve shock absorption effects.

Based on the functional application of shock absorbers, we can further classify them into shock absorbers suitable for mechanical equipment, automobiles, precision instruments, and other fields.

It is worth mentioning that hydraulic shock absorbers are particularly widely used in automotive suspension systems.

Its working principle is that when the frame and axle move back and forth relative to each other, the piston moves back and forth in the shock absorber cylinder. The oil in the shock absorber housing will repeatedly flow into another chamber through some narrow pores. At this time, the friction between the oil and the inner wall, as well as the internal friction of the liquid molecules, form a damping force for vibration, effectively reducing vibration.

In addition, as a new type of shock absorber developed in the 1960s, pneumatic shock absorbers have unique structural characteristics that make them unique in the field of shock absorption. The lower part of its cylinder is equipped with a floating piston, and a closed chamber formed by the floating piston and one end of the cylinder is filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas.

At the same time, the floating piston is also equipped with a large cross-section O-ring to ensure complete separation of oil and gas, which makes the pneumatic shock absorber have superior shock absorption performance.
