Systems and devices to control linear, rotational, and/or arcuate motion are provided herein. In some examples, a pin system is configured for insertion in a door and/or door jamb, and to control motion of the door, such as a speed with which the door closes. In some examples, a hinge pin is configured to replace a conventional hinge pin and to control motion of the door. In some examples, a hinge system is configured to replace a conventional door hinge and to control motion of the door.

Disclosed are systems and devices for controlling the closing of a door. A head unit is to be installed in a doorjamb, comprising a chamber filled at least in part with a shear thickening fluid. A piston is connected to a cap and configured to exert pressure against the shear thickening fluid in response to a force applied to the cap. The systems and devices provide an adjustable design that resists door slamming and aggressive closure, serving as a safety device as well as noise, damage and pet control around doors (preventing closure if desired). An install kit provides exact location, depth control and guide to place over the head unit to tap it into place with a hammer.

A damper device set is provided which can mount a damper device on a door that is thin and has a constraint on the mounting position. A first fastening member is used to fix a mounting plate to a door. A second fastening member placed at a position different from the first fastening member in a thickness direction of the door is used to fix, to the mounting plate, a damper device including a case and a linear damper housed in the case. At least part of the linear damper overlaps at least part of the first fastening member in plan view of the door.

A cylinder-piston unit with load-dependent damping includes a piston longitudinally displaceable in a cylinder. The piston has a first piston channel and a second piston channel, which each connect a compensation space on one side of the piston to a displacement space side on an opposite side of the piston. On the displacement space side a throttle channel connects one first piston channel to the piston lateral surface. On its displacement space side the piston has a piston journal, which carries a resiliently deformable piston disc. The piston disc is displaceable and covers the throttle channel at least partially. The displacement space side has at least one relief portion deviating from a piston end face plane. The relief portion is delimited on a number of sides by a plurality of boundary lines running concentrically with respect to the central axis. Each of these boundary lines can be differentiated continuously.

Provided is a rotary damper on which the timing for generating a damping torque can be set freely. Groove-like bypass passages (805) that are longer in the circumferential direction than vanes (501) are formed in the upper surface (803) of a torque regulation plate (8) arranged on the bottom part (201) of a cylindrical circular chamber (200). When the rotor (5) rotates in a first rotational direction R1, if both end faces (508a, 508b) of the vanes (501) are positioned within a range of the respective bypass passages (805), each area (218) and the corresponding area (217) are communicated via the corresponding bypass passage (805), enabling movement of a viscous fluid (6) from the area (217) to the area (218). Subsequently, if the rotor (5) rotates further in the first rotational direction R1 and one or both of the end faces (508a, 508b) of each vane (501) is outside of the range of the corresponding bypass passage (805), each area (218) and the corresponding area (217) are not communicated via the corresponding bypass passage (805), and the viscous fluid (6) is unable to move from each area (217) to the corresponding area (218).

To provide an opening and closing device for opening and closing body having a rotation torque controlling module and a torque peak adjusting module, solution was sought by an opened and closed body and the opening and closing body which comprises an attaching part, an opening and closing part rotatably attached to the attaching part via a hinge shaft, a rotation torque controlling module for controlling a rotation torque of the opening and closing part, a torque peak adjusting module for adjusting a torque peak of the opening and closing part at the time of its opening and closing movement.

A torque adjustment function-provided rotary damper capable of easily adjusting a torque without needing to use a tool, even in a case where a space cannot be secured on an end portion side of a casing. An adjustment lever is an operation member having an engagement portion and a knob portion. The engagement portion links with an adjuster by engaging with an adjustment end portion such that a cutout fits to a fitting portion. The knob portion is formed integrally with the engagement portion by protruding radially from an outer periphery side of a the casing. The knob portion extends to a guide portion along an axial direction of the casing in its outer periphery. The guide portion has a semi-ring shape which is partially cut out. The guide portion is rotatably disposed along an outer periphery of a shaft side cap that closes an end portion of the casing.

A damper, in particular for fittings for furniture or household appliances, has a housing in which a piston connected to a piston rod is guided in a linearly displaceable manner in an interior space. At least one flow channel is formed on or in the piston, through which the flow passes when the piston is displaced. A volume-compensation element is provided in the housing, which compensates for a volume which is displaced or released when a part of the piston rod is pushed into or pulled out of the housing, being displaceably mounted in the housing.
