A damping force forming member and a damper apparatus including the same are provided. A damping force forming member for forming a damping force is installed in a damper apparatus including a piston, a rod supporting the piston, and an inner tube in which a first chamber and a second chamber are separated by the piston placed therein. The damping force forming member includes: a body supported by the inner tube, that is placed in such a manner that at least part of the inner circumference thereof faces the outer circumference of the rod and forms a damping force when the rod extends; a plurality of through-holes formed at intervals on the body; and a first flow passageway placed between the body and the inner tube, 10 for guiding the movement of a fluid in the first chamber that has passed through the plurality of through-holes.

A hydraulic body mount with a combined rubber cushion and a hydraulic module may include an inner shaft, a mounting plate, a mounting bracket, a main rubber element, an inner ring, a fluid track, an upper bellows, a washer, a lower bellows, an outer can, a rate plate, a lower bushing, a crash washer, a doubler plate, and a retainer bracket. The fluid track may be configured to receive a fluid via a fluid port. The upper and/or lower bellows may be configured to interact with the fluid. The rate plate may be configured to engage the lower bushing and may be deformed when receiving the at least a portion of the inner shaft.

Disclosed is a panel that is produced by assembling a plurality of adjacent individual absorption blocks; each block in the panel is in the shape of a polyhedral pyramid frustum, of which the base is a regular six-sided polygon; each individual block including six lateral walls surrounded by a lower peripheral lip of which each section is provided with a complementary tenon or a mortise arranged so as to allow two adjacent individual blocks to be assembled, in particular by engagement, in the vertical direction, of a tenon and a mortise belonging respectively to one and the other of the two adjacent individual blocks.

A hydraulic damper (3) includes a tube (4), a piston assembly (5) disposed slidably inside the tube (4), and an additional valve assembly (13). A compression chamber (9) is defined between the piston assembly (5) and the additional valve assembly (13). An additional compensation chamber (14) is defined between the additional valve assembly (13) and one side of a slideable partition (10). A gas chamber (11) is defined at the other side of the slidable partition (10). The damper includes an additional chamber assembly (15) to retain all the advantages of a twin-tube damper while providing the single construction offered by a mono-tube damper. One end of the additional chamber assembly (15) is attached to the slidable piston chamber (5) or to said piston rod (6) at the compression side thereof and the other end of said additional chamber assembly (15) is terminated with the additional valve assembly (13).

Filtering pulleys have a hub, which is designed to be fixed to a rotary shaft rotating around an axis (A), and a crown, which is coaxial to said hub. The filtering pulley includes a filtering assembly operatively interposed between the hub and the crown and a housing integral to the crown and carried so that the housing can freely rotate relative to the hub by means of support means. The filtering assembly defines a space and has elastic means housed inside the space in a movable manner, and has actuator means configured to cooperate in contact with the elastic means. The actuator means is a single piece together with a tubular portion of the hub and the housing cooperating in contact with the radial inner surface of the crown.

A vibration absorber for securely fixing to the housing of a gearbox includes an absorber mass having a first group of segments that are rotationally symmetrical to one another with respect to a rotational axis and/or central axis of the gearbox. The segments can be rigidly connected to one another. The vibration absorber can further include connectors that are rigidly connected to two segments each.

A vibration dampening engine mount configured to mount an engine to a vehicle frame includes: a first bolt receiver having a first through hole configured to receive a first bolt; a second bolt receiver having a second through hole configured to receive a second bolt; and a mass damper connector integrally connecting the first bolt receiver and the second bolt receiver, wherein the vibration dampening engine mount has a predetermined mass.

Adjustable air suspension shocks with rotatable damper assemblies, apparatus, systems and method for motor vehicles, such as automobiles, vans, trucks, off the road vehicles, motorcycles, the like. Deflating interior air springs/airbags (bladders) allows for pistons on shock absorbers to expand outward separating lower front and rear frame portions which effectively lowers the motor vehicle to the ground surface and for the driver to have a firmer ride. Inflating the airbags (bladders) allows for the pistons on the shock absorbers in the devices to retract so that devices have a more shock absorbing effect giving the driver and passenger(s) a smoother ride, which also raises the motor vehicles above the ground surface. A sleeve attached to the air shock allows for a damper assembly to rotate relative to the air shock so that it can be installed within mounting brackets where the axial mounting openings need not be perpendicular to one another.

A shock absorber includes a cylinder; a piston movable therein and dividing the cylinder in first and second cylinder chambers; a cylinder attachment for attachment to a first part of a vehicle and connected to the cylinder; and a piston attachment for attachment to a second part of a vehicle and connected to the piston. The piston attachment and cylinder attachment move towards one another on an inward movement and away from one another on an outward movement. The piston includes a first inward channel; a first inward valve to open the first inward channel on inward movement; a first outward channel; a first outward valve to open the first outward channel on outward movement; a second inward channel; a second inward valve to open the second inward channel on inward movement; a second outward channel; and a second outward valve to open the second outward channel on outward movement.

Device for damping vibrations of a vibration surface (21) of the frequency tuned resonance damping kind consisting of one or several elastic damping elements (1-4) and a vibration body (5) supported by the damping elements which together are tuned to damp the vibrations of said surface within a selected frequency range. First mutually co-operating form grip organs give a form grip between said damping elements (1-4) and the vibration surface (21), and second mutually co-operating form grip organs give a form grip between the damping elements and the vibration body. The form grip organs in addition have a recess with gripping surfaces (25-30, 33-35) for transferring vibrations.
