Energy per Cycle
|
|
The total energy per cycle indicates the energy capacity or how much energy is absorbed by the shock absorber during one cycle. Energy capacity and reaction or stopping force are used to size shock absorbers, dashpots, and springs. Compared to dashpots, shock absorbers can absorb considerably more energy with shorter stopping times or higher cycle times.
