2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Shock absorbers are an important part of car suspension designed to increase comfort, stability and overall safety. The shock absorber, produced with precision and engineering skills, has many important features. The most common type is a hydraulic shock absorber, which usually includes a piston, a cylinder, and an oil-filled chamber.

3. Dashpot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

   Simplified diagram. of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper[citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [ 1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [ 2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring.

4. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   Hydropneumatic suspension is a type of motor vehicle suspension system, designed by Paul Magès, invented by Citroën, and fitted to Citroën cars, as well as being used under licence by other car manufacturers. Similar systems are also widely used on modern tanks and other large military vehicles. The suspension was referred to as Suspension ...

5. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

   Tuned mass damper. A tuned mass damper ( TMD ), also known as a harmonic absorber or seismic damper, is a device mounted in structures to reduce mechanical vibrations, consisting of a mass mounted on one or more damped springs. Its oscillation frequency is tuned to be similar to the resonant frequency of the object it is mounted to, and reduces ...

6. Steering damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damper

   Steering damper. The steering damper or steering stabiliser is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a vehicle steering mechanism, a phenomenon known in motorcycling as the death wobble. The stabilizer absorbs unwanted energy in the side to side motion allowing the forks and shocks to work ...

7. Friction disk shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_disk_shock_absorber

   The damping force of a friction shock absorber is adjusted with the central pivot and clamping bolt. A star-shaped spring applies a force to the stack of disks. The damping force is roughly proportional to this force and the clamping nut is provided with a pointer arm to indicate the approximate setting. Installation in rear suspension.
