Shock absorbers Shibumi® structure
They are generally used in front-wheel drive vehicles with a McPherson suspension system. This form of suspension design is economical and efficient in terms of static and dynamic geometry, however, very high performance vehicles use more advanced mechanisms and greater geometry.
STRUCTURE type Shock Absorbers are part of the shibumi® suspension parts portfolio and are available in gas and hydraulic versions for multiple applications.
shibumi® Hydraulic Shock Absorbers
Its damping force is obtained by forcing the oil flow through calibrated passages with differentiated openings in order to obtain the necessary flexibility for vehicle control.
shibumi® Gas Shock Absorbers
They work under the same principle as hydraulic ones, but contain high-pressure nitrogen at one end. A floating piston separates this gas from the oil, preventing them from mixing. When the stem moves, the gas is compressed, experiencing a variation in volume that prevents the formation of bubbles and foam, allowing an instantaneous response.
It is important to keep the shock absorbers in good condition, since a good number of mechanical elements depend on them to maintain their correct functioning and thus avoid premature wear.
