Abstract
A shock absorber works with a variable element (15) which determines the size of a medium passage between the upper and lower sides of a piston (10) in the absorber. The element is arranged so that, with the help of the inertia of its mass, it can carry out a relative displacement movement in its bearing when an acceleration force acts on the mass as a result of the acceleration of the object. The element (15), responsive to the displacement movement, exerts influence on the size of the medium passage.
