METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SUSPENSION SYSTEMS IN MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

a method and apparatus for testing a system for shock absorbers and / or suspension of a motor vehicle employs means (6a, 6b) for raising a wheel (15) and the body (16) of a vehicle to a predetermined height, in order to free fall in create a vertical movement relative to the wheel (15) and the body (16).they are also a means (2) for the electronic detection, such as a laser scanner, to detect a characteristic of the relative motion of the wheel body, for example the speed differential, as well as a indicator (1) to identify the characteristic to consider ctu00e9e, and a means (3) for comparison with, for example, in the form of a computer.in order to compare the characteristic detected with a corresponding characteristic obtained when the vehicle has a suspension system and shock absorbers and new or like new, which makes it possible to check the condition of the damper and suspension system.
