Vibration dampers are available in different
designs but their basic function and purpose
are the same.
Hydraulic/mechanical damping has found
widespread application in modern vehicle
design. The telescopic shock absorber is now
particularly favoured due to its small
dimensions, minimum friction, precise
damping and simple design.
Vibration damping
Without vibration damping, the vibration of
the masses during driving operation would
be increased to such an extent by repeated
road irregularities, that bodywork vibration
would build up increasingly and the wheels
would lose contact with the road surface.
The purpose of the vibration damping system
is to eliminate vibrations (energy) as quickly
as possible via the suspension.
For this purpose, hydraulic vibration dampers
(shock absorbers) are located parallel to the
springs.
