ITT KONI North America: Jarret Series Shock Absorbers

ITT KONI North America

ITT KONI's Jarret Series shock absorbers utilize the compression and shear characteristics of specially formulated silicone elastomers. These characteristics allow the energy absorption and return spring functions to be combined into a single unit without the need for an additional gas or mechanical spring stroke return mechanism. The simple design of this shock absorber offers high reliability and a high damping coefficient which provides a low sensitivity to temperature variances, the company says.
