  • the sensor element detects these movements, which are called “cycles”, and count them with an internal electronic circuit as pulses. As the pulses are counted, the total number of cycles is stored and monitored, where it will indicate through a luminous or sound signal the present situation of the shock absorber to the user.
  • sensors can be used in this device, some of the more adequate examples found on the market can be mentioned, non- restrictive to the functioning of the device as a whole, they are; the Piezoelectric sensors, sphere sensors, Condenser sensors, the Flexible spring sensors, magnetic sensors and still the Hall effect.
  • This monitoring device of automotive shock absorber wear measures the number of relevant cycles of the suspension's movement in an automotive vehicle, which represent the real work of the suspension, where the parameters make the estimate of life of an automotive vehicle possible, enabling a reliable and preventive maintenance.
  • this device is much more effective due to its principle the measuring of relevant work cycles of the suspension.
