INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Use of shock absorbers Machines carry out increasingly complex tasks today. The systems are also pushed to their limits in order to increase productivity and profitability. For the machinery this means that, in addition to the number of moving parts, their velocities and thus their kinetic energy also increase. However, in order to avoid collisions, high impact forces and strong vibrations, which could lead to damage and consequently to the reduction of the service life, the surplus energy must be removed from the system. The solution lies in the use of energy dissipation,...
