A hydraulic suspension component filled with hydraulic fluid or gas that absorbs spring oscillations, forces downward pressure on the tire keeping it down on the road and contributes to a smoother, more controlled ride
(Otomotiv) Devices located near each wheel to cut down the vertical bouncing of the passenger compartment on the springs after the wheels go over a bump or the vehicle stops short. Shock absorbers also improve handling on rough road surfaces
A component of a system which allows dissipation of energy by extending the deceleration distance

A mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp any sudden shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy; usually consists of a combination of a spring and a dashpot
A device that converts motion into heat, usually by forcing oil through small internal passages in a tubular housing Used primarily to dampen suspension oscillations, shock absorbers respond to motion; their effects, therefore, are most obvious in transient maneuvers
A temporary restriction in the trading of stock index futures which becomes effective following a significant intraday decrease in stock index futures prices Designed to provide an adjustment period to digest new market information, the restriction bars trading below a specified price level Shock Absorbers are generally market specific and at tighter levels than circuit breakers
A shock absorber is a device fitted near the wheels of a car or other vehicle to reduce the effects of travelling over uneven ground. a pair of rear shock absorbers. n. A device used to absorb mechanical shocks, as a hydraulic or pneumatic piston used to dampen the jarring sustained in a moving motor vehicle. a piece of equipment connected to each wheel of a vehicle to make travelling on uneven ground more comfortable. Device for controlling unwanted motion of a spring-mounted vehicle. On an automobile, the springs act as a cushion between the axles and the body and reduce the shocks produced by a rough road surface. Since some combinations of road surface and car speed may result in excessive up-and-down motion of the car body, shock absorbers which today are hydraulic devices that oppose both compression and stretching of the springs slow down and reduce the magnitude of these vibratory motions.
