Dampers/Shock Absorbers

A shock absorber, also known as a damper or dashpot, is a device designed to smooth out or dampen shock impulses and dissipate kinetic energy in machinery. These parts are usually pneumatic or hydraulic, and formed by a fluid- or air-filled cylinder with a sliding piston inside. Shock absorbers are common to automobile and motorcycle suspensions, aircraft landing gears, and industrial machines supports. They can employ various operating principles, as well, including hysteresis, dry friction, fluid friction, magnetic effects, and more.
