What is spring?

a compression spring having extensible properties, it can bounce generated when the vehicle passes an uneven road surface absorption and release, to reduce the rate of bounce of the vehicle, the wheels remain in contact with the road surface as possible. And the energy generated during the elongation of the shock absorber is working into heat spread into the air.

1. Noun interpretation spring

having an elongated spring compression characteristics, it can bounce generated when the vehicle passes an uneven road surface absorption and release, to reduce the rate of bounce of the vehicle, the wheel to maintain contact with the road as much as possible. And the energy generated during the elongation of the shock absorber is working into heat spread into the air.

2. Classification spring

● a basic introduction progressive spring

models commonly used original progressive springs, such springs employed thickness, density inconsistent design, the benefits may not be under pressure when absorbed through the lower portion of the elastic coefficient of rolling road, to ensure ride comfort, when the pressure increases to a thicker part of the spring after a certain extent, play a role in supporting the body, the disadvantage of this is that the spring does not directly control feeling, less accurate.

● introduced substantially linear spring

linear spring from top to bottom thickness, constant density, elasticity coefficient of a fixed value. This design allows the spring to get the vehicle more stable and linear dynamic response, help the driver better control of the vehicle, used for performance-oriented and competitive vehicle modified car, the downside is of course comfort is affected.

Other modified car racing and a smaller increase small soft auxiliary spring on the hard linear spring, this combination can increase the comfort of the spring in addition to the external pressure but also back in the main spring when the projectile with reduced recoil strength, thus preventing the main spring from the spring seat.

● a basic introduction to the short spring

compared to the original short spring spring is shorter, and more stout, short spring mounting, can effectively reduce the center of gravity of the vehicle body, reduce roll when cornering produced, the more stable cornering and smooth, enhance vehicle handling corners. The original shock absorber damping settings tend to comfort, so the original short springs and shock absorbers are not very stable in the fitting, it can not effectively suppress short spring rebound and compression, driving on bumpy roads, will there is a sense of discomfort jump, the long run, the shock absorbers will greatly reduce the short life, but also the case of oil spills may occur. Of course, these conditions are relative terms, the daily driving, then will not have such serious damage, but try not to fierce drive, after all, the original shock absorbers can not withstand the pressure of high load.

MoreIn other short spring is to reduce the ride height of the most cost-effective retrofit solution for those riders modest budget is a good choice, of course, a sub-price goods, the short spring very limited control to improve performance, but there are many drawbacks so at the time of purchase must be clear for their own purposes, or to complete the installation not produce the desired effect, resulting in unnecessary waste on the sad reminder.
