The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.

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.

A stop buffer for absorbing kinetic energy in a collision between two objects, includes a first spring body made of an elastic material. The first spring body is connected to a carrier body, and includes at least one electrical sensor, which has a triggering element that can be mechanically actuated. The sensor outputs a signal when the triggering element is actuated. The sensor is arranged relative to the carrier body in such a way that the triggering element is actuated by a detachment of the first spring body from the carrier body, or an actuation mechanism is provided, by which the triggering element of the sensor is actuated by a force acting on the carrier body in a collision when the force exceeds a predefined magnitude that indicates a failure of the first spring body because of wear or, if the first spring body is intact, indicates excessive collision energy.

A system for providing torque includes a stator, a rotor, an axle, an endcap, an endbell, and a compliant member. The stator has a first end and a second end opposite the first end with a chamber therein. The rotor is at least partially positioned in the chamber and rotatable relative to the stator about a longitudinal axis. The axle has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and supports the rotor. The endcap is located at a first end of the stator and adjacent to the first end of the axle, and the endbell is located at the second end of the stator and adjacent to the second end of the axle. The compliant member is positioned relative to the axle between a portion of the rotor and one of the endbell and the endcap.

End mount assemblies include a mounting bracket dimensioned for securement to an end member of a gas spring and damper assembly. The end mount assembly can include an inner mounting element dimensioned for securement to an elongated damping rod of the gas spring and damper assembly. A first plurality of bushing elements can be operatively disposed between the inner mounting element and the mounting bracket. A second plurality of bushing elements can be operatively disposed between the inner mounting element and the end member. Gas spring and a damper assemblies including such an end mount assembly as well as suspension systems and methods of assembly are also included.

A shock absorber includes a first end configured to be mechanically fastened to a first component, a second end configured to be mechanically fastened to a second component, a main body, a main shaft, and a primary piston. The primary piston configured to move within the main body and further configured to provide a first damping force by movement of a fluid through the primary piston while the main shaft moves a first distance. The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.

A plastic spring, a pump core, a lotion pump and a press-type packaging container. The plastic spring includes at least one spring unit. Each spring unit includes a first support member, a second support member, and at least two torsion arms. The at least two torsion arms are arranged between the first support member and the second support member, and both ends of each of the torsion arms are respectively connected with the first support member and the second support member. Each of the torsion arms includes at least one vertical section, and an end of each vertical section is connected with the first support member or the second support member.

An aircraft tail skid energy absorption indicator including a crushable indicator cartridge disposed within the an outer shock absorber canister of the aircraft tail skid, 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, where the indicator rod extends through an aperture in a wall of the outer shock absorber canister, where the indicator rod includes at least one graduation that indicates an amount of remaining energy absorption of the aircraft tail skid energy absorption indicator.

A shock stand absorber includes a resilient layer disposed on a planar frame structure and a plurality of vertical supports positioned to support the planar frame structure from below. Each of the vertical supports includes a resilient member between a first vertical support member and a second vertical support member in a telescoping arrangement. The resilient member is deformable in response to a telescoping movement between the first vertical support member and the second vertical support member. A plurality of connecting webs are formed between the vertical supports. The plurality of vertical supports are longitudinally aligned with a plurality of points on one or more paths defined on the bottom side of the planar frame structure.
