20200255129 · 2020-08-13 ·

A tail skid shock absorber including an outer shock absorber canister, a crushable indicator cartridge disposed within the outer shock absorber canister, and an indicator rod coupled to the crushable indicator cartridge so as to move with a portion of the crushable indicator cartridge as a unit.

SYSTEM TO PREDICT FAILURES IN SHOCK ABSORBERS

A shock absorber system may include at least one sensor that is configured to measure an operating parameter of the shock absorber during operation of the shock. The operating parameter may comprise one or more of pressure, temperature, a position of a piston rod of the shock absorber, a velocity of the piston rod, and/or an acceleration of the piston rod. The system may be configured to evaluate measured operating parameter data and to predict a lifespan of the shock absorber and/or detect failure.

20200200639 · 2020-06-25 · ·

A wheel balancing tool includes a body member, an attachment member and an alignment member. The body member includes a notch configured to be aligned with a balancing mark on a rim of a vehicle wheel. The attachment member is connected to the body member. The attachment member includes at least one hook configured to attach the tool to the wheel rim. The alignment member extends outwardly from the body portion and is configured to indicate an attachment position on the wheel for a balancing weight.

STROKE SENSOR SYSTEM AND SHOCK ABSORBER

A stroke sensor system includes a conductor, a coil which moves relative to the conductor and is fitted to one end side of the conductor; and a ferromagnetic body which is arranged on an end position side of the coil. A position of an end portion on one end side of the conductor in a state where a fitting ratio between the conductor and the coil is maximized is defined as the end position. The ferromagnetic body is located on an opposite side to the conductor with the coil interposed therebetween.

SHOCK ABSORBER

A shock absorber includes a cylinder which is a conductor; a rod inserted into the cylinder from one end side of the cylinder, a suspension spring arranged outside the cylinder, a spring receiver which receives a load of the suspension spring on the one end side of the rod, and a protective member arranged on the one end side of the rod and configured to protect the rod. The protective member has a coil configured to detect a relative position between the cylinder and the protective member, and an end portion formed on the one end side of the protective member is arranged so as not to receive a load from the spring receiver.
