What is an adjustable shock absorber?

Height. Adjustable. Damper-Derived from racing technology, it refers to a shock absorber with an adjustable (spring) height design (commonly known as "twist teeth" design in Hong Kong). The twisted tooth shock absorber refers to a shock absorber that can adjust the spring expansion and contraction, shock absorber barrel and shock absorber damping. Because the height adjustment is done by twisting the tooth ring (that is, the outer periphery of the ring is tooth-shaped), it is called a twisting tooth shock absorber.China electric scooter shock absorber

The twisted teeth shock absorber has the functions of softness, height, adjustable damping, etc., and can be adjusted to a personal satisfaction within a certain range according to individual needs. The earliest originated from racing cars. In order to adapt to various tracks, the participating vehicles need to change the settings of springs and shock absorbers. If they are replaced, it will be too troublesome and will increase costs. The twisted-tooth shock absorber solves these problems very well, significantly changing the vehicle's handling performance without replacing the spring and shock absorber.

 

Replacing the shock absorber of twisted teeth is a professional-grade transformation, and it has a high degree of freedom in setting the vehicle. If you want to debug the twisted teeth shock absorber, you need to repeatedly test and experience, and finally achieve the effect that the owner wants. Even if the same model is replaced with the same product, there will be differences, and individuals have very subjective feelings about the needs of control.

The biggest feature of the twisted tooth shock absorber is the height adjustment (high-end products also have multi-channel damping adjustable design), let us first look at the impact of the height of the body. When the vehicle is stationary, the ground clearance of the four corners of the chassis has a great influence on the weight of the wheels at that location. For example, lifting the left front wheel to increase the weight of the right rear wheel on the diagonal At the same time, the load of the two wheels on the diagonal will be reduced. Therefore, the front and rear counterweights of the vehicle can be controlled by changing the height of the chassis. Of course, the adjustment of the counterweight is limited in scope.

Use a steering set to neutral (both the push head and tail flick characteristics are not outstanding), and the weight of the front and rear weights is 50:50. For example, reducing the height of the head will increase the weight of the head and increase the cornering. Understeer characteristics, and when the vehicle accelerates out of a corner, because the center of gravity will shift backwards, the vehicle will get a more balanced steering characteristics. Conversely, lowering the rear height will increase the load on the rear axle. When decelerating into a corner, it can balance the weight of the body, reduce the understeer characteristics, and even oversteer. The adhesion of the front wheels is reduced, and understeer may occur. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the driving form of the vehicle.
