1. Unscrewing damper
unscrewing damper means capable of adjusting the telescopic shock absorber and a suspension spring barrel body, the shock absorber damping. Since the height adjustment is achieved by unscrewing the ring (that is, the periphery is toothed ring) to complete, so called cutter teeth damper.
includes a damper unscrewing hardness, height, and adjustable damping capabilities, according to individual needs, the satisfactory adjustment of the individual set within a certain range. Originated from racing, participating vehicles in order to meet a variety of tracks, we need to change the setting springs and shock absorbers, if replaced, then too much trouble, and it will increase the cost. Unscrewing damper on a good solution to these problems, a substantial change in the vehicle’s handling performance without the need to replace the springs and shock absorbers.
Replace the damper is professional unscrewing transformation stage, a high degree of freedom in setting the vehicle. Want a good debugging unscrewing damper requires repeated testing and experience, and ultimately achieve the desired effect of the owner, even if the same models replace the same product will be differences, but also for handling personal needs also have a very subjective experience.
cutter teeth shock absorbers most important feature is height adjustable (high-end products also have multiple adjustable damping design), we take a look at the impact level of the body brings. When the vehicle is stationary, the load of the four corners of the chassis with wheels on the ground clearance of the position of a great impact, analogy, the left front wheel suspension increases, increases the load on the right rear diagonal , while the other two wheels on a diagonal line load will be reduced. Thus changing the ride height of the vehicle can be controlled before and after weight, of course, the weight adjustment range is limited.
In a neutral steering is set (both not protrude Tuitou drift characteristic), the vehicle front-rear counterweight 50:50 analogy, reduce the height of the front, the front load will increase enhance the properties of understeer into the corners, and when the vehicle is accelerating out of corners because the focus will shift back, the vehicle will get a more balanced steering characteristics. Conversely, reducing the height of the rear, the rear axle load will increase, when the deceleration of the vehicle body weight can be balanced cornersReduce understeer characteristic, even oversteer, while exit acceleration due to the weight transfer to the rear of the vehicle further, greatly reduces the adhesion of the front wheels, the steering shortage may occur. Of course, this form of drive vehicle also has a great relationship.
For multi-channel tunable (adjustable in compression and rebound damping) shock absorber, the adjustment method is also more complicated. More high-end shock absorber also comes with high-speed and low-speed damping separately adjustable design. In compression damping setting, for example, the vehicle travels over the track shoulder pothole or speed compression damper generates, accelerates, brakes and steering is generated when the low-speed compression, multiplexing can be based on the driver adjustable damper requires individually adjusted. For different track design, road conditions can be adjusted greatly improve the handling of the car. But for civilian vehicles, these very detailed regulation design is somewhat unrealistic, often the owner will be directly adjusted to a fixed state at the time of purchase unscrewing damper, that is up to the early conversion would occasionally play adjustment function, most people stop after a period of time to adjust. So not the most high-end product is the best, professional athletic type cutter teeth shock absorber is not suitable for everyday use.
