Provided are an air spring upper support, a vehicle air spring assembly, and a vehicle. The air spring upper support is used for a vehicle air spring. The air spring upper support is configured to be of a split structure having an upper housing and a lower housing, the upper housing and the lower housing are connected to each other and form a receiving space, the air spring upper support further has a bushing, and the bushing is arranged in the receiving space.

The present disclosure relates to a cover cap and an insulator for a shock absorber including the same, and the cover cap according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cap main body having a circular plate shape, and a cap hollow portion penetrating a center of the cap main body. Further, a part or the entirety of the cap hollow portion is formed such that a diameter thereof increases toward one surface of the cap main body and the diameter maximally increases at one surface of the cap main body.

Solar tracker systems include a torque tube, a solar panel attached to the torque tube, and a damper assembly. The damper assembly includes a housing defining first and second chambers, a first fluid passageway extending between the first and second chambers, and a second fluid passageway extending from the second chamber. A piston is moveable relative to the housing and a valve is positioned within the first chamber and moveable to passively control fluid flow. An active lock includes a shaft extending into the second chamber with a seal attached to the shaft. The shaft is selectively moveable between an unsealed position in which the seal is spaced from a chamber wall and a flow path is defined between the first fluid passageway and the second fluid passageway, and a sealed position in which the seal contacts and seals against the chamber wall to obstruct the flow path.

A damper mount structure improves accuracy of positioning to increase assembling efficiency and includes a damper mount for fixing an upper portion of a suspension device to an attachment opening formed in a vehicle body. The damper mount includes: a housing to be mounted on the upper portion of the suspension device; a stay which protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the housing and is brought in contact with a lower surface of a circumferential edge of the attachment opening in a state that the housing has been inserted through the attachment opening to attach the housing to the circumferential edge of the attachment opening; and a plurality of ribs which connect the stay with an outer circumferential surface of the housing. A first rib, a second rib, and a third rib include side surfaces, respectively, facing an inner circumferential surface of the attachment opening.

A strut mount includes an inner member, an outer member, and a body rubber. A stopper rubber which protrudes outward in an axial direction is disposed on the body rubber. The outer member includes a supporting portion which covers the stopper rubber from outside thereof in the axial direction. The stopper rubber includes a pedestal protrusion portion which protrudes outward in the axial direction from the inner member and a tip protrusion portion which protrudes outward in the axial direction from the pedestal protrusion portion, contacts the supporting portion, and has an elasticity in the axial direction lower than that of the pedestal protrusion portion. The pedestal protrusion portion and the tip protrusion portion taper outward in the axial direction.

The pedestal protrusion portion and the tip protrusion portion taper outward in the axial direction.

Provided is a length-adjustable assembly and method including a connecting element for connecting the assembly to a component so that the connection can be subjected to tensile loads and compressive loads, the connecting element being plugged along the longitudinal axis onto an axial end section with respect to the longitudinal axis of the assembly. The connecting element includes a latching arm elastically bendable outwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis in a mounting configuration of the connecting element for plugging the connecting element onto the end portion, wherein the latching arm includes a latching element, wherein the latching element to positively cooperate with a mating latching element of the end portion, the mating latching element of complementary shape to the latching element, in an operating configuration of the connecting element fitted onto the end portion along the longitudinal axis.

A vibration damper may comprise a damper tube filled at least partially with damping liquid. A piston rod is movable to and fro in the damper tube, and a working piston is movable with the piston rod. The working piston may divide an interior space of the damper tube into a piston rod-side working space and a working space distal the piston rod. A piston rod attachment may include an attachment element, a bracing element, and a wedge element. On a side that faces away from the working piston, the piston rod may have a wedge element cut-out for partially receiving the wedge element in a braced state. The attachment element may be connected to the bracing element such that the attachment element braces the bracing element with respect to the piston rod via the wedge element arranged in the wedge element cut-out.

A fastening arrangement of a vibration damper of a vehicle includes a rubber bearing with a first bush and a second bush, a fastener where via the fastener one of the first bush and the second bush of the rubber bearing is fixed in three degrees of longitudinal freedom with regard to a wheel support of the vehicle or the body of the vehicle, and a measure disposed on the second bush and on the wheel support or on the body of the vehicle where via the measure a degree of rotational freedom of the second bush about an axis of the fastener is blocked by a positively locking block. The positively locking block is formed by a convexly curved cylinder segment of the second bush and a concavely curved cylinder segment of the wheel support or the body of the vehicle that are engagable into one another.
