The dynamic spring constant, Kd, represents a constant as measured under conditions of 23±2° C., 100 Hz, and a strain amplitude of 0.1% according to JIS K6394:2007, and the static spring constant, Kst, represents a constant as measured under conditions of 23±2° C. and a strain amplitude of 0.1% according to JIS K6394:2007.

A gasket includes an elastic part containing a rubber having a dynamic spring constant of 1.5 g/μm or lower as measured under conditions of 23±2° C., 100 Hz, and a strain amplitude of 0.1% according to JIS K6394:2007.

Described herein is a fluid circuit device. The device incorporates at least one pressure balancing valve located between at least two fluid volumes that can be in a pressure differential arrangement wherein the at least one pressure balancing valve acts to address a pressure differential by opening a fluid volume or volumes to a third pressure equalising volume. In use, the fluid circuit device may in one embodiment be used in an energy absorbtion apparatus.

A damper for a telescopic fork leg for a front fork of a vehicle, wherein the damper comprises a twin-tube cylinder and a piston rod assembly comprising a piston rod, wherein a first piston is attached to the inner end portion of the piston rod, wherein a second piston is attached to the piston rod between the first piston and an outer end portion of the piston rod, wherein the inner tube is provided with at least one outlet hole 19 through the wall of the inner tube, the outlet hole being positioned such that a sealing portion of the second piston at compression of the damper travels past at the at least one outlet hole, and wherein the inner tube is provided with at least one return hole through the wall of the inner tube, the at least one return hole being positioned such that it connects a chamber of the twin-tube cylinder to an outer volume of the cylinder.

A shock absorber including a pressure tube, a piston assembly slidably disposed within the pressure tube, and a fluid transfer tube that extends about the pressure tube, and a reserve tube that extends about the fluid transfer tube is provided. The piston assembly divides an inner volume of the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. An intermediate chamber between the pressure tube and the fluid transfer tube is arranged in fluid communication with the first working chamber. A reservoir chamber between the fluid transfer tube is arranged in fluid communication with the intermediate chamber. An insert is disposed within the intermediate chamber, reducing the volume of the intermediate chamber and defining a fluid transfer channel between the first working chamber and the reservoir chamber.

A solar tracker system includes a torque tube, a solar panel assembly attached to the torque tube, a housing defining a chamber and a fluid passageway extending from the chamber, and an active lock connected to a seal configured to prevent a flow path of fluid while in a sealed state and allow the flow path of fluid in an unsealed state. The system further includes a controller in communication with the torque tube and the active lock. The controller is programmed to receive a command to place the solar panel assembly in a stowed position, instruct the torque tube to rotate the panel assembly to a stowed angle corresponding to the stowed position, monitor a current angle of the panel assembly, compare the current angle to the stowed angle, and instruct the seal to transition to the sealed state when the current angle is equal to the stowed angle.

A ring circumscribing a moveable rod of a hydraulic damper, the moveable rod defining a central axis, the ring comprising a first circumferential surface, a second circumferential surface, a first finger, a second finger, a first flange, and a second flange. The first finger and the first flange defining a first end of the ring. The second finger and the second flange defining a second end of the ring.

A bearing bush for supporting a motor vehicle part includes an inner tube made of a metal, a sliding sleeve made of a first plastic material and mounted rotatably on the inner tube, and an elastomer bearing which surrounds the sliding sleeve and has at least a first elastomer body and an outer sleeve. A sliding layer made of a second plastic material is applied to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube, the first plastic material and the second plastic material forming a tribological pairing either of two different polymers from the groups of polyamides, polyoxymethylenes, polyketones, fluoropolymers, polyethylene terephthalates or polybutylene terephthalates, or the tribological pairing being formed from polyketone against polyketone, wherein the polymers of the tribological pairings each are present in a continuous thermoplastic polymer phase.
