Abstract
The present invention relates to a continuous monitoring system for shock absorbers, for use in motor vehicles or in any kind of machine which requires them, which will enable the shock absorbers to be evaluated during normal operation. It is essentially characterised by all the necessary components being embedded into the shock absorber itself, in a single circuit 1 or several integrated interconnected circuits, which are equipped with means of identification which provide the vehicle'"'"'s or machine'"'"'s various electronic management systems with the necessary information regarding shock absorbers identification, characteristics and capacity for self-diagnosis. The aforementioned components include acceleration, pressure and temperature sensors 2, signal conditioning and processing circuits 3, a wireless communication system 4, power production 5 and storage system 7 and management electronics 6.
