What is the main function of shock absorbers?

The main function of shock absorbers is to suppress the oscillations from spring rebound after absorbing shocks and the impacts from road surfaces. Relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. Introduction to shock absorbers: The English name for shock absorbers is Vibration-Damper, primarily used to suppress the oscillations from spring rebound after absorbing shocks and the impacts from road surfaces. When driving on uneven roads, although the suspension springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still have reciprocating motion, and shock absorbers mainly suppress this spring bouncing. 2. If the shock absorbers are too soft: The vehicle body will bounce up and down. If the shock absorbers are too hard, they will create excessive resistance, hindering the normal operation of the springs. In the process of modifying the suspension system, hard shock absorbers should be paired with hard springs, and the hardness of the springs is closely related to the vehicle weight. Therefore, heavier vehicles generally use harder shock absorbers. The device connected to the vibration-inducing crankshaft is used to counteract the torsional vibration of the crankshaft (i.e., the phenomenon where the crankshaft twists due to the impact force of cylinder ignition).
