Classification of automotive shock absorbers

Shock absorbers are mainly divided into the following types‌：‌

• ‌Hydraulic shock absorber‌： This is a common type of shock absorber that works on the principle of hydraulics, absorbing and dissipating vibration energy through the flow of liquid inside.

• ‌Inflatable shock absorber‌： This kind of shock absorber contains gas inside, which achieves shock absorption effect through gas compression and release.

• ‌Twin-tube shock absorber‌： This kind of shock absorber has two inner and outer cylinders. The piston moves in the inner cylinder, and the shock absorption effect is achieved through the exchange of oil between the inner and outer cylinders.

• ‌monotube shock absorber‌： This kind of shock absorber has a relatively simple structure, with only a cylinder in which the piston moves and absorbs vibration through the flow of oil.

• Resistance adjustable shock absorber‌： The damping force of this shock absorber can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different usage environments and needs.

In addition, shock absorbers can also be divided into hydraulic and pneumatic types from a material perspective.
