Strut and shock replacement intervals are a little more subjective than just a glance at the odometer. Struts and shocks should be replaced based on their performance more than the miles. Most shocks or struts will last 30,000 to 90,000 miles depending on driving habits and the condition of the...
Shock absorbers play an important part in your vehicle’s suspension system. You need to replace them when certain signs of wear becomes evident, otherwise your safety and comfort can become compromised.
A shock absorber works by "damping" the compression and extension of the vehicle's...
The shock absorbers are basically oil pumps. A piston is attached to the end of the piston rod and works against hydraulic fluid in the pressure tube. As the load travels up and down, the hydraulic fluid is forced through tiny orifices inside the piston. However, these orifices let only a small...
Truck shock absorber is engineered to absorb the up-and-down shock created by the springs when the truck hit a bump. Apart from giving smooth drive it keeps the truck controllable after a bump. Bad shock absorber on the other hand are not only uncomfortable but also dangerous. Trucks without shock...
Manufactured at a state-of-the art facility in India, Kobe Shock Absorbers, the flagship brand enjoys a place of pride in the vast expanse of the Indian as well as export market and is acknowledged as one of the growing segments of industry.- Trailer Shock AbsorbersTrailers & Semi Trailers are...
Stainless steel cylinders are utilized in situations where, for hygienic causes, the cylinder would be exposed to precise cleaning or in situations that are sarcastic by nature. Generally the various styles of stainless steel pneumatic cylinders are available in the market. Pneumatics is...
Air cylinders are recognized as the final module in a pneumatic, compressed air control or in any power system. Air cylinders, or pneumatic cylinders, are tools, which switch compressed air power into a usual mechanical or automatic energy. This mechanical energy generates linear or rotating...

A company has released a seal with double-acting crown backing for better and safer sealing.
The seal is characterised by up to five dealing edges.
Multiple edges allow the user to achieve better sealing and smoother operation than more conventional seals.
The design...
MT Sealing Technology (Switzerland), manufacturers of the High Efficiency Rod Sealing System (HERSS) received the Lloyd's Register Type Approval for their non-metallic packing systems used on piston rods in two stroke diesel engines. The test engine had a history of bearing failures, cross...
The integrity of piston rods, bearings and seals is paramount to ensure the leak-free operation of hydraulic cylinders demanded for today's major industrial manufacturing and process lines.
The piston rod is most vulnerable part of the hydraulic cylinder, with damaged piston rods being, by far,...
A team of MIT undergraduate students has invented a shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road, generating electricity while it smoothes the ride more effectively than conventional shocks. The students hope to initially find customers among companies that operate large fleets...

Effectively a spring, a dashpot, or a combination of the two, arranged to minimize the acceleration of the mass of a mechanism or portion thereof with respect to its frame or support.
The spring type of shock absorber is generally used to protect delicate mechanisms, such as instruments, from...
In a piston engine, a piston rod joins a piston to a connecting rod.
Many internal combustion engines, and in particular all current automobile engines, do not have true piston rods, and the term piston rod is often used as a synonym for connecting rod in the context of these engines.
All engines...
A hand pump is a pump that uses power supplied by the user's own muscles for its operation. The most common types of hand pumps are those used to pump water and air, though water pumps have become increasingly more automated over the years. Hand pumps for air remain very popular, especially when...
Pioneering vehicle manufacturers were faced early on with the challenges of enhancing driver control and passenger comfort. Early suspension designs were designed in the way that front wheels were attached to the axle using steering spindles and kingpins. This allowed the wheels to pivot while the...
A rigid motorcycle frame has a pair of spaced swingarms joined to a shock absorber that has a shock absorber casing pivotally mounted on the swingarms and has a shock absorber rod which is pivotally joined to the motorcycle at a point below the housing whereby the movement of the back wheel of the...
When Just-Auto.com recently examined "Tomorrow's shock absorbers," they began from this perspective: "Ride control is basically governed by a vehicle's suspension system, including its shock absorbers (dampers) and struts. For the last decade or so, the high-end technical emphasis has been on...
