Designing a good shock absorber is partially about finding the best balance between the spring rate (the stiffness of the spring) and the damping. For this reason, many shock absorbers have adjustable spring rates and damping. Some compressed-air springs can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing...
All modern shock absorbers are velocity-sensitive— the faster the suspension moves, the more resistance the shock absorber provides. This enables shocks to adjust to road conditions and to control all of the unwanted motions that can occur in a moving vehicle, including bounce, sway, brake dive...
Many manufacturers nowadays provide Electronic Ride Control or Variable DampingSuspensionin their high-end cars. The driver can electronically adjust the shock absorbers for soft, regular, or fine suspension rides. The basic construction of the electronically adjustable suspension is here. The internal co...
adjustable X-axis travel starting position Z軸行程 Z-axis travel 調整X軸後,可快速調整旋轉分度盤或傳送系統之間的高度差距,達到獨立調整Z軸行程 After adjustment of the X-axis, you can quickly adjust the height of the gap between the rotary indexing plate or transmission system, to independently ...
For my tape gun, I prefer one with a handle that holds 2” packing tape. Find one that provides a way to adjust the gun’s resistance, usually through a knob or screw on the tape roller. You’ll see why this is important later when I show you how to most effectively use the gun...
The advantage of this system is that it's easy to adjust the spring strength to match different weight loads. The cable can be moved up and down on the end block. Moving it up rotates the drum, which pulls the pulley in closer, which stretches out the spring. This increases the pulling...
Alternatively, a more popular option on modern cars is to switch to a coilover setup. This is most common on Japanese cars, where the coil spring is placed over the shock absorber in a single assembly. Coilover setups often come with adjustable ride height and damping, allowing the car to...
Shock absorbers that have internal bump stops fitted may conflict with the OEM bump stop under bump conditions. The design of some of these internal bump stops can be flimsy, therefore I prefer to adjust the shock absorber "installed height" in such a way that the OEM bump stop is in cont...

compressed with the compressor. Hand-tighten the nuts securing it to the wheel well, and add a new pinch bolt and nut as you attach the steering knuckle to the strut. Adjust the valve on the bottom of your torque wrench to 37 ft-lb, and tighten the nut until you feel the wrench ...
