2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   In very heavy duty units used for racing or off-road use, there may even be a secondary cylinder connected to the shock absorber to act as a reservoir for the oil and pressurized gas. In aircraft landing gear, air shock absorbers may be combined with hydraulic damping to reduce bounce.

3. Active suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

   An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.

4. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Yellow: Tubular housing containing shock absorber or damper Lower green: Vehicle frame or unibody member. The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is widely used in the front suspension of modern vehicles.

5. Lever arm shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_arm_shock_absorber

   The spindle of the shock absorber now became the upper suspension pivot, usually double-ended. One of the last mass-production sports cars to still use lever arm shock absorbers was the MG B. [8] This had a lever arm shock absorber as the upper wishbone. A popular handling upgrade in later years was to fit telescopic shock absorbers instead.

6. Oleo strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleo_strut

   According to Engineering360, by 2019, the oleo-pneumatic strut had become the most common type of shock absorber in use on modern aircraft. [4] The oleo strut has seen much use on the largest cargo airplanes in the world, such as the Antonov An-124 Ruslan ; it reportedly provides for a rough-field landing capacity while carrying payloads of up ...

7. Magnetorheological damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_damper

   A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet.
