APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Automotive Shock Absorber
Automotive shock absorbers damp suspension movement by dissipating mechanical energy, commonly through controlled hydraulic-fluid flow within a piston-and-cylinder assembly.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot.
