Shock absorbers

Shock absorbers are mechanical devices designed to absorb and control shocks and vibrations by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. They typically use hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms, such as piston cylinders or pneumatic chambers. In the automotive industry, they are part of the suspension system, improving vehicle handling and comfort by maintaining wheel contact with the road. In industrial settings, shock absorbers reduce vibrations and shocks in machinery, extending equipment lifespan and improving efficiency. They are often manufactured according to international standards like ISO 14001 for environmental management, with specific standards such as SAE J575 for corrosion resistance and ISO 26262 for functional safety in vehicles. Well known manufacturers like SMC, Misumi, and Festo, along with other leading manufacturers, offer their 3D CAD models on 3Dfindit, including shock absorbers.
