A damper and a load-bearing enclosure having the damper are provided. The damper includes a housing forming a containing cavity and a vibration energy dissipation unit located inside the housing, and the containing cavity includes a liquid storage cavity and a mass body movement cavity located at an upper part of the liquid storage cavity; the vibration energy dissipation unit includes a damping liquid contained in the liquid storage cavity and a plurality of mass bodies located inside the mass body movement cavity; and the mass bodies float on the liquid level of the damping liquid, and an outer surface of the mass body is formed with a plurality of toothed projections for breaking waves formed in the damping liquid due to vibration and dispersing the waves in different directions.

Any one of a bracket and a first attachment tool includes a press-fit portion. Another one of the bracket and the first attachment tool includes a tubular press-fitted portion. The press-fit portion is press-fitted to the press-fitted portion. The press-fitted portion includes a tubular rigid portion having an inner surface with recesses depressed and an elastic film portion made of an elastic body bonded to an inner surface of the rigid portion. The press-fit portion includes: a first protrusion portion projecting in a direction perpendicular to the press fitting direction, the first protrusion portion biting into the elastic film portion; and a second protrusion portion that partially overlaps with the rigid portion as viewed in the press fitting direction with the second protrusion portion located inside the recess.

A pressure buffer stop for a vibration damper that comprises for being at least partially received in a dome bearing housing an outer contour and for coaxial arrangement on a piston rod of the vibration damper a hollow-cylindrical basic structure with an inner contour, wherein the outer contour of the pressure buffer stop comprises in at least one region for being at least partially received in the dome bearing housing a three-dimensionally structured surface.

An exemplary shock absorber includes a damper tube, a damper piston, a piston shaft, and at least two different surface treatments. The damper tube includes an interior surface. The damper piston includes a piston surface that engages the interior surface. The piston shaft couples with the damper piston and includes a shaft surface that engages a fourth surface. The at least two different surface treatments are disposed on at least one of the interior surface and the shaft surface and create a corresponding plurality of coefficients of friction with at least one of the piston surface and the fourth surface respectively.

The active damper upper mount includes an inner member (11, 111) to which an upper end portion of a rod (22, 122) of an active damper (21, 121) is fixed, an intermediate member (12, 112) that surrounds the inner member in a circumferential direction around a rod axis (O1, O2), an outer member (13, 113) that surrounds the intermediate member in the circumferential direction and is attached to a vehicle body side, a first elastic body (14, 114) that is disposed between the inner member and the intermediate member and supports the inner member and the intermediate member so as to be elastically displaceable relative to each other, and a second elastic body (15, 115) that is disposed between the intermediate member and the outer member and supports the intermediate member and the outer member so as to be elastically displaceable relative to each other.
