Abstract
Abstract A face shock absorber with a top and a bottom adapter, between which there is mounted a housing, and in it there are disposed a spindle and active elements disposed inside a chamber enclosed by a top and a bottom disk, the housing and the spindle, and underneath the bottom disk there are disposed springs. The top adapter is embraced by a two-stepped nut with external thread, screwed up to the housing, and through the two-stepped nut there pass keys. The working chamber is divided by intermediate sleeves into sections, in each of which there are disposed spherical heads, shaped in the external surface of the spindle. The active elements disposed inside the working chamber are balls. The springs are limited in their bottom end by a ring-shaped nut, and it is possible to use springs of the slotted type.
