NITRO SHOCK ABSORBER
For
a smooth and comfortable ride the disturbing forces should be eliminated or
reduced considerably by using some devices. Shock absorbers are such devices
which isolate the vibrations by absorbing some disturbing energy themselves. Of
the many types telescopic shocks are widely used which has got the draw back
that the flow of oil in the cylinder can cause foam of oil and air to form.
These limit the optimum throughout of the flow in the valves. Gas shocks represent an advance over traditional shocks. Nitrogen filled gas shock absorbers are the results of years of extensive research and development with top flight shock design engineers.
They are designed for both lowered and stock vehicles to provide shock absorbers that would out perform anything on the market today. Nitro shock absorbers are high quality, nitrogen filled shocks designed and gas charged specifically for each vehicle application. The addition of nitrogen under pressure limits the foaming effect and increases efficiency.
SHOCK ABSORBED ACTION
The upper mounting is attached to a piston rod. The piston rod is attached to a piston and rebound valve assembly. A rebound chamber is located above the piston and a compression chamber below the piston. These chambers are full of hydraulic fluid. A compression intake valve is positioned in the bottom of the cylinder and connected hydraulically to a reserve chamber also full of hydraulic fluid. The lower mounting is attached to the cylinder tube in which the piston operates.
During compression, the movement of the shock absorber causes the piston to move downward with respect to the cylinder tube, transferring fluid from the compression chamber to the rebound chamber. This is accomplished by fluid moving through the outer piston hole and unseating the piston intake valve.
During
rebound, the pressure in the compression chamber falls below that of the
reserve chamber. As a result, the compression valve will unseat and allow fluid
to flow from the reserve chamber into the compression chamber. At the same
time, fluid in the rebound chamber will be transferred into the compression
chamber through the inner piston holes and the rebound valve.
ADVANTAGES OF NITRO SHOCKS
Instantaneous response :
Because the high pressure eliminates aeration (foaming), action is always is immediate.
The low mass of gas and the single tube further improves response time.
Better fade resistance:
Since
there is no outer tube, cooling is much better which gives a drastic reduction
in fade. Thus more consistent handling and control.
