A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Apart from controlling the movement of springs and suspension, shock absorbers also keep your tyres in contact with the ground at all times.

As easily visible in the image above, it is a Shock Absorber which has a primary function to reduce the jerking after-effects. I choose this project for practice purpose and to use it during assembly in my upcoming projects. I designed it in SolidWorks and rendered it through PhotoView360 that is an embedded rendering feature in SW by default.
During designing this project I took care of the material used for each part respectively and also coated the surface with different material were required to make the model more realistic.
These are the parts of the Shock Absorber along with their function in caption.
Top end is the part which rests on the top of the Shocker and is connected to the wheel by a mechanism and it is the first to experience the jerk of wheel.
Nut is provided here to put the restriction to the movement of spring from its initial location.
Base as mentioned here has to role to guide the spring as it has a hole in which the rod extruded in top part slip in along with spring o
Springs support the weight of the vehicle, maintain ride height, and absorb road shock. Springs are the flexible link that allows the frame and body to ride relatively undisturbed while the tyres and suspension follow the bumps in the road.
