In the complex structure of a car, although the shock absorber seems low-key, it plays an extremely crucial role. It is a core component to ensure the smoothness and comfort of vehicle driving.

When it comes to truck performance, suspension systems play a critical role in safety, comfort, and load stability. But with two major options—air suspension and hydraulic shock absorbers—how do you choose the right one for your truck?

In this guide, we’ll compare their performance, durability, cost, and best applications to help you make an informed decision.

In the world of vehicle suspension systems, shock absorbers play a critical role in ensuring stability, safety, and comfort. However, truck shock absorbers face far greater challenges than those in passenger cars. Their design, materials, and performance requirements are vastly different—let’s explore why.

Aiming at the shock absorption requirements of heavy trucks under complex working conditions, this paper analyzes the performance improvement path of the shock absorber from four dimensions: material selection, structural design, damping characteristic matching and intelligent control. Combined with road test data, a multi-objective collaborative optimization solution is proposed to provide reference for the design of commercial vehicle chassis system.

As trucks laden with steel drive through broken national roads, there is an undercurrent between the frame and the suspension system. The 30-ton steel behemoth generates an impact equivalent to the weight of two family cars with each bump, and it is the truck shock absorber, a cylindrical device with a diameter of only 20 centimeters, that eliminates these deadly impacts. This seemingly simple mechanical component is actually one of the most important safety barriers in modern logistics systems.

On the ever-flowing freight road, truck drivers often pay more attention to the roar of the engine and the control of the steering wheel, but rarely pay attention to the silent shock absorption system under their feet.
