Shock Absorber for Passenger Cars

Shock absorbers transform the vibrational energy of the chassis and wheels into heat. This sounds simple, but it has serious consequences for driving safety and comfort as well as vehicle wear. With respect to safety, shock absorbers have the job of preventing the wheels from "hopping" on uneven surfaces and thus being unable to transmit braking, traction, or lateral forces when they temporarily lose contact with the road.

Suspension comfort suffers when chassis movements caused by driving over uneven surfaces, changing directions, braking, and accelerating are transmitted "unfiltered", so to speak, to the passengers. Shock absorbers substantially reduce this effect and thus contribute substantially to passenger comfort. Moreover, hopping wheels and strong chassis vibrations due to improperly functioning shock absorbers lead to increased wear on the tires and chassis components.

Highest level of functional safety

With the Super Touring range, SACHS is setting the standard for shock absorbers. Developed and produced with the competence of a leading OEM, they stand for safety, reliability and durability.

Super Touring - Super quality at a favourable price for virtually all types of vehicles

The proven all-round shock absorber program The all-round shock absorber at a favourable price, fulfils high demands on comfort and safety - for virtually all vehicles.

The technical equipment has been adapted to meet the requirements of the automobile industry. This guarantees the same level of safety and comfort that you would find in a new vehicle. Top quality materials and processing methods provide corrosion resistance and low wear and tear. Examples of this are chrome-plated and highly polished piston rods and wear-and-tear-proof piston rod guides. The combination of these two components not only guarantees the air-tightness of the shock absorber, but high level of comfort as well thanks to low friction. Additionally, the fact that the water-based lacquer no only provides reliable protection against stones, salt water corrosion and other environmental influences but is also environmentally-friendly (as is the case with all Sachs products), makes the whole thing perfect.

Driving Comfort

 

The SACHS Super Touring range is aimed at drivers who like to do their daily driving without problems and their holiday driving with ease – thus expecting high safety and comfort. In city traffic, on country roads and on the highway. For almost all vehicles.

Advantage puts an emphasis on individual requirements

SACHS Advantage is the alternative for the highest demands in all driving situations. Individually adapted to each vehicle for that decisive plus in handling and driving stability. Advantage combines sportiness with comfort.

Advantage - Shock absorbers for superior demands and an individual driving feeling

Pure Joy of driving. A top shock absorber with distinguished features: maximum driving safety, optimized road holding, highets driving comfort. Advantage puts an emphasis on individual requirements.

Sachs Advantage a head start through

In the Advantage series, you will only find single and twin tube gas pressure shock absorbers. Special techniques are employed wherever they can lead to a noticeable improvement to driving performance. An example of this is groove technology, which helps to adapt the absorption power to the certain vehicles. Or state-of-the-art valve technology which permits a special coordination of digressive characteristics. Advanced technology precisely and individually tailor made to suit each vehicle type, axle construction and suspension design. In this way, Advantage convinces above all by its high safety reserves and optimum road-holding.

Shock Absorbers for Commercial Vehicles Dependability and economic efficiency

Two of the most important factors for trucks today and decisive for the competitiveness of a commercial vehicle fleet. For over 70 years, SACHS has been one of the world’s most famous system partners to the automobile industry, providing innovative components and systems to do with drive train and chassis.

Sachs offers a complete range of innovative solutions, guaranteeing a maximum of comfort, safety and reliability.

Sachs clutches and shock absorbers for commercial vehicles make sure that your vehicle really gives its best on the road. No matter how heavy your load is. What ever situations you encounter. Whatever the weather. Mile after mile.

Success with technology and know-how

The basis for safety and reliability is a robust construction, high-quality materials and meticulous manufacturing. The diameter of the cylinder pipe, which is made of seamless compression-proof steel, is adapted to the axle load, suspension and operating conditions.

Decisive: high-quality components

The chrome-plated piston rod is polished several times, this guaranteeing the highest degree of corrosion-proofing, low sealing wear and tear and increased comfort through low friction. The piston rod guide, which is made of sintered iron with a wear-resistant sliding surface or tried and tested gray cast iron, has in many cases a hydraulic rebound stop for precise and simultaneous soft stroke restriction. The seal-made of Perbunan or Viton material, depending on the shock absorber – satisfies the highest demands on failure safety, temperature loads and service life. The valve system provides digressive characteristics for optimum comfort. Valve components with a low setting loss enable a high absorption power consistency and precision of characteristics without readjustment. The exterior pipe is corrosion-protected and resistant to pitting, salt, oil and gasoline thanks to pre-treatment and environmentally friendly lacquering. Fastening joints made of age resistant, abrasion proof rubber materials form the high load bearing, sound-insulating connection between the wheel mountings and the suspension.

In the SACHS test laboratories, all parts are tested for thousands of hours – in line with the tough demands of the auto industry – to prove their durability and resistance to aggressive salts and chemicals. Sachs clutches and shock absorbers can only appear on the market when they have passed these tests.

Durable and available at any time

Because commercial vehicles are put to permanent use, SACHS shock absorbers do not only stand out with their great economic efficiency, high performance and durability, but also with their high level of availability. Fast procurement is assured all over the world.
