Shock absorber piston

The piston is a crucial part of a shock absorber, guaranteeing both its strength and dynamic durability. In the shock absorber the piston limits the flow of the shock dampening media, either oil or gas. Its complex geometry requires excellent dimensional precision and surface finish.

Höganäs’ innovative sponge iron powders provide excellent green and edge strength to allow for proper green part handling. They also offer the net shape and design freedom needed to produce shock absorber parts in a cost-efficient way.
