the shock absorber

“a shock absorber is a device which produces a dissipative (non-recoverable) force over a given displacement to absorb energy and remove it from a system. Includes a reset or restoring means to reposition it after it has absorbed energy, the reset means being such that its resetting energy is much smaller than the absorption capacity of the device.”

the advent of high speed equipment and machinery has brought with it numerous problems associated with slowing and stopping masses of various forms. The hydraulic shock absorber has proven itself to be one of the most efficient means of solving these problems.
