Shock absorbers
Technical data
RODS
First quality tempered chromed an grinded hollow rods. Dimensions of 5/8”, 3/4” or 7/8” (16mm, 20mm, 22mm).
CYLINDER
MONO TUBE SHOCK ABSORBER WITH ADJUSTABLE SPRING SUPPORT: 2” interior pressure tube. Supports 2.25” & 2.5” springs.
BI TUBE SHOCK ABSORBER WITH ADJUSTABLE SPRING SUPPORT: 2.5” exterior tube with 2” interior pressure tube. Supports 2.5” springs.
MCPHERSON SHOCK ABSORBER – INVERTED STRUTS: This type of struts work with an inverted mono tube shock, that has a chromed & grinded exterior cylinder of ø1.75” (for track cars) or ø2” (for rally cars). The exterior of this tube works as shaft of the strut with 2 separated DU bushes.
PISTON
Double effect (bump/rebound) pistons, with shims. They allow digressive, lineal & progressive configurations in bump and rebound.
Mono tube shocks: 2” piston, Bi tube shocks: 2” piston, Inverted struts shocks: 1.5” piston.
Shims: We manufacture them from special Swedish steel, their final diameters are obtained by a grind process.
ADJUSTMENTS
With no exterior adjustment: The shock bump & rebound configuration is settled by the preload that defines how digressive is going to be the shock, and the shims stack. The shock bleed is configured by slots on the first shims from the stack.
With 1 regulation: The rebound slow speed. Idem as the one with no adjustment, but in this case, there are no more slotted shims for the rebound. For this case, the user can adjust the clicks that define the rebound bleed that goes thru the shaft.
With 2 regulations: The bump high & slow speed. The shock must have the exterior reservoir for this.
With 3 regulations: The bump high & slow speed and the rebound slow speed. The shock must have the exterior reservoir for this. Idem as the one with 1 regulation, but with the reservoir of 2 regulations (high & slow speed) for the bump..
With 4 regulations: Bump high & slow speed and rebound high & slow speed. New shock design that has the regulations in the shock head. This shock may not have an exterior reservoir.
