On many vehicles with strut-type suspension designs, the front struts (which include the springs and shock absorbers) are mounted with bearings or bearing plates that serve as the upper pivot ...

This decelerates the object slowly and smoothly preventing large shock forces. They are commonly used with springs to provide a resistance to change in location. Providing a rebound force keeps an ...

The absorption or damping action for gas springs can be compression or extension. In a compression gas spring the shock absorption or dampening occurs in the compression direction. In an extension gas ...
