Disclosed is a damping force variable valve assembly capable of improving linearity of a damping force through pressure control by being provided as a poppet type built in a shock absorber and by improving the responsiveness so that a check valve responds and opens quickly by a minimum load.

A damper for a torque converter is disclosed. The damper includes an outer spring and an inner spring coaxial with the outer spring; and a retaining plate to retain the outer spring and the inner spring. The retaining plate includes an upper spring guide, a lower spring guide, an outer spring support, and an inner spring support, wherein the upper spring guide extends substantially around an outer periphery of the retaining plate, the lower spring guide extends around an inner periphery of the retaining plate, the outer spring support directly contacts axial ends of the outer spring and the inner spring, and the inner spring support directly contacts the axial ends of the outer spring and the inner spring.

A shock isolator is arranged between two automated coupler parts in a vibration testing unit. When the coupler parts are engaged and coupled during vibration testing of a component, the shock isolator is disabled, and when the coupler parts are disengaged and decoupled after vibration testing, the shock isolator is activated to absorb excess shock energy and prevent shock transfer between the coupler parts that would damage the test component. The shock isolator includes a bushing that is inserted in a lower part of the two automated coupler parts and a compressive fit rod that is press-fit into the bushing. The bushing has a chamfered volume and the compressive fit rod has a corresponding compressible volume that is displaced into the chamfered volume to disable the shock isolator. After vibration testing, the compressive fit rod is expandable to a regular shape to activate the shock isolator.

There is provided a rotary damper of which size can be easily reduced. The rotary damper (100) includes a housing (101). The housing (101) includes a rotor (120) in a bottomed cylindrical housing body (102), and is closed by a lid (140). An inner chamber (103) in the housing body (102) is divided into three cells including a first cell R1, a second cell R2, and a third cell R3 by a fixed vane (104) and movable vanes (124, 125) of the rotor (120). At the rotor (120), a cylindrical tubular support portion (122) is formed inside the movable vanes (124, 125). The lid (140) is formed with a cylindrical first rotor support portion (141) turnably supporting the tubular support portion (122). The first rotor support portion (141) supports the tubular support portion (122) at a center portion of the length of each of the movable vanes (124, 125) in an axial direction of the rotor (120).
