Introduction to Koni shock absorber

Featured articles, Suspensions, Technology, Technology features, Vehicle dynamics, Vehicle dynamics features

All hydraulic shock absorbers work by the principle of converting kinetic energy (movement) into thermic energy (heat). For that purpose, fluid in the shock absorber is forced to flow through restricted outlets and valve systems, thus generating hydraulic resistance. A telescopic shock absorber (damper) can be compressed and extended; the so called bump stroke and
