A vibration-damping device includes a first attachment member (11), a second attachment member (12), an elastic body (13), and a partition member (17), the partition member including a membrane (31) and an orifice (20). The orifice (20) includes a first communication hole (21), a second communication hole (22), an intermediate chamber (35), a restriction passage (23), and a communication hole (24), the restriction passage includes a main liquid chamber-side passage (25) and an auxiliary liquid chamber-side passage (26), the main liquid chamber-side passage and the auxiliary liquid chamber-side passage extend in a circumferential direction and are disposed to be connected to each other in a radial direction, and when the liquid flows through the restriction passage from any one of the first communication hole and the second communication hole toward the other, the flow direction in the main liquid chamber-side passage and the flow direction in the auxiliary liquid chamber-side passage are opposite to each other.

A bracket comprises a body extending along a center axis between a first end and a second end. The body defines a first groove and a second groove. The first groove, located at the first end and flaring radially outwardly, presents a first slanted surface. The second groove, located at the second end and flaring radially outwardly, presents a second slanted surface. A pair of coupling members including a first and a second coupling member are respectively located in the first and second grooves for engagement with a housing of a hydraulic damper assembly. The first end includes at least one first deformation for retaining the first coupling member. The second end includes at least one second deformation for retaining the second coupling member. A hydraulic damper assembly including the bracket and a method of joining the bracket and the hydraulic damper assembly are also disclosed herein.

A device for supplying hydraulic energy in a chassis system of a vehicle, including a first and a second motor-pump unit which are mechanically firmly connected to each other, the two motor-pump units preferably being designed identical in structure.

A damper includes a damper tube (a pressure tube or a reserve tube for a mono-tube or a double tube damper respectively) including a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The damper includes a base member. The base member includes a cup portion at least partially enclosing the first end of the damper tube, and a sleeve portion extending from and integral with the cup portion. The sleeve portion surrounds a length of the damper tube. The sleeve portion is attached to the damper tube. Further, the damper includes a knuckle engaged with the sleeve portion such that the sleeve portion is disposed between the knuckle and the damper tube.

An electronically controller external damper reservoir assembly (eRESI) can be connected to a passive damper and/or substituted for an existing external reservoir to provide semi-active damping control. The eRESI includes a reservoir and a variable base valve assembly actuated by an actuator. A controller is in communication with the actuator and a sensor providing input signal indicative of vehicle movement and is programmed to generate a damping control signal to the actuator based on the input signal, to dynamically control the damping force outputted by a passive damper hydraulically connected to the eRESI. A P/T sensor can be installed to a gas chamber of a vehicle damper to generate a P/T signal indicative of the pressure and temperature of the gas. The controller is programmed to determine a damper position of the damper based on the P/T signal.

To provide an electro-rheological fluid and a cylinder device, which each can achieve both high heat resistance and a high ER effect. The electro-rheological fluid (300) of the present invention includes a fluid (30) and polyurethane particles (31) containing metal ion. The polyurethane particles (31) are each composed of polyol and two or more types of isocyanates. A hard segment ratio of the polyurethane particle (31) is 13 to 34%.

In some examples, an oscillatory pumping system comprises: one or more active piston, a fluid, and two motors. The one or more active piston is disposed in a channel fluidically coupling two fluid chambers. The passive piston has a frequency response operable to counteract a vibratory displacement. The fluid is disposed in the channel and the two fluid chambers. The two motors couple to the one or more active piston. The two motors are operable to selectively change the frequency response of the passive piston based on oscillating the one or more active piston.

An aircraft landing gear shock absorber assembly having: an outer cylinder having a bore which extends into the outer cylinder, the bore defining an opening in the outer cylinder; a sliding tube having a first end region slidably coupled within the bore and a second end region which projects out of opening; a ground fitting distinct from the sliding tube; and a mechanical fixing arranged to mechanically couple the ground fitting to the second end region of the sliding tube, wherein the sliding tube comprises a tubular body portion formed from a ceramic coated fibre composite tube.

Provided are a one-way clutch and a rotary damper device equipped with the one-way clutch, in which size reduction can be achieved. A claw of a slide member has a retreat surface that abuts against an internal tooth of an outer member when the outer member turns toward one side with respect to an inner member and an engagement surface that abuts against the internal tooth when the outer member turns toward the other side with respect to the inner member. When the internal tooth and the retreat surface abut against each other, the slide member slides in a sliding direction, thus causing the claw to retreat from the internal tooth, and the outer member turns independently of the inner member. When the internal tooth and the engagement surface abut against each other, the internal tooth and the engagement surface are engaged, and the outer member and the inner member integrally turn.
