slagdämpare
Slagdämpare, often translated as shock absorbers or dampers, are mechanical devices designed to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy. Their primary function is to reduce the magnitude of unwanted vibrations and shocks, thereby improving comfort, safety, and the longevity of equipment. In the context of vehicles, slagdämpare are crucial components of the suspension system. They work in conjunction with springs to control the oscillation of the vehicle body after encountering bumps or other irregularities in the road surface. Without effective slagdämpare, a vehicle would continue to bounce uncontrollably, leading to a harsh ride, loss of tire contact with the road, and compromised handling.
The working principle of most slagdämpare involves hydraulic resistance. As the suspension moves, a piston within
