Question:

Hydraulic shock absorbers and hydraulic buffers are the same thing?

Hydraulic shock absorbers and hydraulic buffers are the same thing?

Answer:

A shock absorber is used between the swing arm rear suspension and the frame to cushion the impact of the bicycle. Traditionally, this is a cylinder in which the piston moves in a reciprocating motion in a straight line. The problem here is that, for such a design, if you want to be lightweight and robust, the cost will be very expensive to adopt the previous solution.
This is achieved by Iglidur, RN56 material, good friction coefficient, low wear characteristics and high toughness of the material. In addition, this design allows the pistons to be removed from the cylinder, which is of great benefit to folding bicycles.
Through the application of a new design, this feature is the use of Iglidur RN56 as the core component, can meet the technical requirements and significantly reduce costs. In this solution, the piston and the sliding bearing at the bottom of the damper are combined in an injection molding assembly.
