The invention is a system for controlling the relative movement of a load P, comprising at least one main damper having a longitudinal action of stroke C and two ends with one end being connected to a frame and the other being connected to the load. A compensation device is included having at least one secondary damper of longitudinal action with two ends with one end being secured to the frame and the other end is connected to the end of the main damper connected to the load The secondary damper is arranged so that, at one point of stroke C, the secondary damper has an action orthogonal in direction to the direction of the movement.

A damper apparatus includes an adjusting bolt including a head part rotatably stored in an adjusting bolt storage part formed in a base part, and a male thread part including a tip end formed in a male thread shape. An adjusting member includes: a female thread part, which is a part in a female thread shape fastened to the male thread part of the adjusting bolt and movably provided along an axis line of the adjusting bolt; a tapered surface part with which the tip end of a push rod comes into contact and formed in a tapered shape with respect to the axis line of the adjusting bolt; and wall parts rising from both ends of the tapered surface part with reference to the circumferential direction of the adjusting bolt, and interposing the push rod therebetween.

This load reduction device is provided with: a shock absorption mechanism configured to absorb impact force generated when a user moves; a drive mechanism configured to output torque for reducing a load applied to the user at a joint of a leg of the user; and a torque control unit configured to control the torque output by the drive mechanism on the basis of operation of the shock absorption mechanism.

The present disclosure provides a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) magnetic damping shock absorber based on an eddy current effect, comprising a lower plate, a ring-shaped magnet a, a ring-shaped magnet b, an aluminum cylinder, a bottom copper sheet, a copper sheet, a top copper sheet, a bearing seat, a linear bearing, a bearing end cap, a load, a piston shaft, a stepped shaft, a fixed collar, a coil spring, a lower clamping shaft, and fixing screws. When the shock absorber is working, the ring-shaped magnet a keeps stationary at the lower end and the ring-shaped magnet b reciprocates in the vertical direction. Both magnets are arranged in a mutual attraction manner. Under the action of a time-varying electromagnetic field generated by the relative movement of the ring-shaped magnet b, the copper sheet arranged between the two ring-shaped magnets generates eddy current damping. The movement of the ring-shaped magnet b is inhibited.

A hydraulic mount assembly includes a mount body defining a cavity. A powertrain includes a dynamic mass, and a structure that supports the dynamic mass. The assembly is attached to the structure and supports the dynamic mass. A first plate is fixed relative to the mount body inside the cavity to separate the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first plate defines a plurality of first passages that fluidly connects the first and second chambers. A decoupler is disposed between the first and second chambers. An actuator is coupled to the first plate. The decoupler is movable in response to actuation of the actuator. The decoupler abuts the first plate when in a locked position to prevent fluid communication through the first passages. The decoupler is movable relative to the first plate when in an unlocked position to allow fluid communication through the first passages.

A suspension strut includes a cylinder having a piston moveable in the cylinder, a coil spring arranged around the cylinder, and an abutment element for mounting the coil spring. The position of the abutment element is adjustably fixable along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder with respect to one direction, the cylinder has a male thread, and the abutment element has a female thread corresponding to the male thread. A thread insert is arranged in the abutment element, the thread insert has a holding region and an actuating region, and the region between the holding region and the actuating region can be arranged in the threads of the male thread of the cylinder. A holding means for the holding region is in the abutment element, the actuating region is mounted moveably in the abutment element, and the diameter of the thread insert is variable by movement of the actuating region.

A shock absorber is provided that includes a shock body and a shaft assembly. The shock body has an inner chamber. The inner chamber is defined by a cylindrical interior surface. At least one groove is formed in the interior surface within at least one select length of the shock body. A piston of the shaft assembly is received within the inner chamber of the shock body. The piston includes valving to allow dampening matter that is received within the inner chamber to pass through the piston to allow the piston to move within the inner chamber. The at least one groove that is formed within the interior surface is configured to allow at least some of the dampening matter to bypass the valving of the piston to allow the piston to move through the at least one select length with less resistance.

A shock absorber includes a holding member that holds a rod. Inside the holding member, there is formed a flow path through which oil passes. The flow path include a first flow path extending along an axis of the rod from one end of the holding member in an axial direction, a second flow path extending from one end portion of the first flow path along a radial direction of the rod, and a third flow path extending along the axis of the rod from one end portion of the second flow path to the other end of the holding member in the axial direction.
