Hydraulic Shock Absorbers: Basic principles

Shock absorbers are an important part of automobile and motorcycle suspensions, aircraft landing gear, and the supports for many industrial machines. In a vehicle, it reduces the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality. Without shock absorbers, the vehicle would have a bouncing ride, as energy is stored in the spring and then released to the vehicle, possibly exceeding the allowed range of suspension movement. Control of excessive suspension movement without shock absorption requires stiffer (higher rate) springs, which would in turn give a harsh ride.

Hydraulic Shock Absorbers: Basic principles
Hydraulic Shock Absorbers utilize liquid fluid to convert mechanical energy into thermal energy. The dampening or shock absorber action is facilitated by the shock absorber's fluid being displaced by a piston displaced by mechanical action that forces the fluid through a orifice(s) or flow restrictor(s).

In the standard twin-tube shock absorber design, a piston slides inside an oil-filled cylinder. Calibrated holes in the piston allow oil to pass between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder thereby damping the oscillation of the spring.

As the piston moves up and down, forcing the oil through the holes, the piston rod moves in and out of the tube. As it moves in and out, the rod changes the volume available to the oil. When the volume is reduced, there is momentarily an excess of oil: this excess is forced back in the oil reservoir (reserve tube) through the base valve.

When the rod moves out again, it creates a vacuum and a volume of oil equivalent to the displaced rod is drawn through valves in the piston and, at the same time, through an orifice in the base valve.

And now for the commercial ad part =P We have over hundred of shock absorbers available here at our shop for you to choose from. And what's best, we are now promoting our own brand of absorber to suite your need - D&D absorber. A lot of customers are giving thumbs up and good rating for it already and you could be next. It comes with warranty too!!

Introducing the new e-commerce website - with online payment included

Yes its me. I am in charge of maintaining the website, new media and also the direction ML sales are going. Sort of like marketing + advertising kinda job. If you ask me whether it is nice job i would say yes it is but my package are really like a bundle. You tend to know and cover lots of things but at the same time it really nothing. All merely at the surface only.

And i believe many of you know that when you are buying things in bundle...it won't always be good right? Out of the 10 apples you are buying definitely at least one will be rotten. But hey you can't complain as it does come cheap. You can't expect much don't you? Agree? So same case applicable to me...when you are not good at what you are doing then you can't bargain. Hahaha you can pm me if you want to know what i am getting for my salary. Definitely not here ya or else i will be chopped. Lol. If you are good at what you are doing like other staff here then its different stories. ML have been treated them very well. =)

My company do have vacancy now for sales person and if you are interested then please apply. It is not as glamorous job as you might think it is. No babes. no cool cars and certainly no party like you have seen in movies (if you think it is then congratulations! you have been brainwashed) but again it is a nice good job. You tend to learn a lot here really and AGAIN it is a good good job. So please apply.

Anyhow back to the main topic....ok so i have proposed to my company that we should introduces e-commerce website with online payment facilities. Many are still doubting whether it is workable here in malaysia afterall it is USED auto parts. I am not 100% sure myself but i do know online sales are uptrending and its very potential. So we don't mind being the first few that introduces this system in malaysia especially in used auto parts sector. I believe with enough patient, hardwork and research it can be realized. What do you think...is it workable?

Having said that - our online shop is on progress now. You will be expecting a complete e-commerce website with payment gateway very soon. Probably in 2-3 weeks time only. The prices that we offer here definitely very cheap. We want to promote this healthy and potential system so we will put the lowest price possible.

And for overseas customer - kindly check with us on the shipping freight before you proceed to transfer us the money! There are few other things that we need to clarify beforehand. It is very much appreciated. Thank you very much.
