A solenoid valve that can be adjusted axially, and hermetically, to a first end of a body of a shock absorber in order to be able to regulate the hydraulic load of the shock absorber as well as guide the movement of the rod in a longitudinal direction. The solenoid valve includes a movable part that can be moved between an open fluid flow position and another closed fluid flow position, a regulating chamber that generates a pressure to move said movable part towards the opening and an elastic element that generates a closing force. Likewise, the solenoid valve also includes electronic means to exert a force on the movable part, to move it in the direction of movement, preferably by means of a magnetic load. The invention also includes a shock absorber with hydraulic load regulation that comprises a solenoid valve, like the one mentioned, adjusted hermetically to a first end of the body of said shock absorber.

This vehicle control device is provided with: a control unit for executing one-pedal control, that is, the control for accelerating a vehicle when a single pedal is depressed from a predetermined reference point of a pedal stroke, and for decelerating the vehicle when the pedal is released from the reference point; and a determination unit for determining whether or not a rate of change in a pedal operation amount when the pedal is released is equal to or greater than a first threshold value. The control unit performs control for increasing a braking force when the rate of change is equal to or greater than the first threshold value.

A controller adjusts the damping characteristics of a vehicle shock absorber that includes a shock absorber housing and a shock absorber fluid contained within the shock absorber housing. The controller includes a controller housing having a fluid passageway therein. The housing includes a shock coupler for coupling the housing for the shock absorber and for placing the shock absorber housing in fluid communication with the fluid passageway. A reservoir stores shock absorber fluid in the controller and a first valve is disposed in the fluid passageway between the shock coupler and the reservoir. Shock absorber fluid can pass between the shock coupler and the reservoir. The first valve includes a first valve controller that is configured for controlling the rate of flow through the first valve to achieve a first damping rate. A second valve includes a second valve controller for controlling the flow of shock absorber fluid through the second valve to achieve a second damping rate. A flow director directs the flow of shock absorber fluid to either the first valve or the second valve to achieve one of the first or second damping rates. The flow controller of the first valve controls the flow of shock absorber fluid to achieve the first damping rate independently of the second valve's control of the flow of shock absorber fluid to achieve the second damping rate.

A double-lift rigid gas spring is invented. It includes an outer cylinder tube, an inner cylinder tube, a ventilated support, a valve body, and a control component. It has benefits: during working, gas pressure is released to push the liquid medium to enter the inner cylinder tube and the hollow piston rod.

A shock device for an at least partially muscle-powered two-wheeled vehicle including a damping system having a damper cylinder and a moving piston disposed therein and connected with a piston rod extending from the damper cylinder, wherein the piston acts on a first damping chamber in the damper cylinder in the compression stage as the piston rod plunges in from a retracted base position into a plunged-in position. In the damping system, as the piston rod plunges in, damping fluid is transferred from the first damping chamber to an auxiliary chamber. A flow resistance for transferring the damping fluid into the auxiliary chamber is configured travel-dependent, depending on the piston position. The flow resistance for transferring the damping fluid into the auxiliary chamber over a first travel distance of the piston including the base position is smaller than over a second travel distance that is plunged in further.
