An automatic pressure regulating pneumatic cylinder includes: a pneumatic cylinder, arranged with a connecting element for sealing the pneumatic cylinder, a piston slidably configured above the connecting element, a upper air chamber formed above the piston, and a lower air chamber formed between the piston and connecting element, the pneumatic cylinder further configured with first and second air entering passages allowing external air to one-way flow into the upper air chamber and a first guide passage allowing the external air to one-way flow into the lower air chamber; an air flow control unit, embedded inside the connecting element, an exhaust floating piston of the air flow control unit allowed to correspondingly form an air passage for opening or closing through normal speed and rapid displacement of the piston and further cause the internal air of the lower air chamber to generate different air pressure resistance for automatic internal pressure regulation.

The invention relates to a vibration isolator, comprising: a base; a coupling element to be coupled to a vibration sensitive object; a decoupling mass; a first vibration isolator part arranged between the base and the decoupling mass; and a second vibration isolator part arranged between the decoupling mass and the coupling element, and wherein at least one of the first and second vibration isolator part comprises a pneumatic isolator.

An arm end for a trailing arm, in particular for commercial vehicles, comprising a main body which configures a working volume for an air spring system, the main body having an access region which is designed to provide an access into the working volume, characterized in that a large part of the working volume is configured substantially below the access region.

A vehicle is provided with a vehicle frame or sub-frame structure and at least one of a body structure and engine structure or a plurality of suspension components mounted to the vehicle frame or sub-frame structure and a plurality of fluid-controlled spring/dampers supporting the least one of a body structure and engine structure or a plurality of suspension components to the vehicle frame of sub-frame structure, the plurality of fluid-controlled spring/dampers being connected to a single central pump.

A seatbelt assembly includes a seatbelt buckle and an air damper. The seatbelt buckle is coupled to an anchor point. The air damper is disposed between and coupled to the seat belt buckle and the anchor point. The air damper is configured to increase a resistance force applied to counteract movement of the seatbelt buckle away from the air damper as a speed of the movement of the seatbelt buckle increases.

An air spring for a heavy-duty vehicle axle/suspension system comprising a piston, a bellows, and an intermediate chamber integrally formed with the bellows. The bellows has an upper portion, a top plate, and a bellows chamber and is connected to the piston by a band, a bead-in-groove connection, and/or a bayonet connection. The upper portion is reinforced to prevent the bellows chamber from increasing in volume. The intermediate chamber has an optimally sized top plate and a support structure and extends from the piston into the bellows chamber. The intermediate top plate is formed with means for restricted fluid communication between the bellows chamber and the intermediate chamber. The means for restricted fluid communication is not obstructed when it contacts the bellows top plate during jounce events. The support structure is optimized in relation to the top plate.

Example dampers for bicycle suspension components are described herein. An example damper includes a damper body defining a chamber, a shaft extending into the chamber of the damper body, and an adjustable piston system having a piston body coupled to the shaft. The adjustable piston system controls a flow of fluid between the first and second chambers. The adjustable piston system includes an adjustable rebound orifice forming part of a rebound flow path to control the flow of fluid from the first chamber to the second chamber across the piston body, an adjustable compression orifice forming part of a low flow compression flow path to control the flow of fluid from the second chamber to the first chamber across the piston body, an isolation member to separate the rebound flow path and the low flow compression flow path.

An exemplary self-balancing air spring includes a first chamber, the first chamber defining a primary volume, the first chamber including a movable piston, a second chamber fluidicly coupled to the first chamber via a first orifice and a second orifice, the second chamber defining a secondary volume, and an actuator coupled to the movable piston. In some aspects, the first orifice is an electromechanical valve and the second orifice is a bleed valve that equalizes the pressure between the first and second chambers.

A dampened electronic control for manual operation to control a machine includes a housing, a movable element pivotally supported in the housing upon a shaft with a rotation axis, and an electronic sensor configured to detect rotational movement of the shaft. A non-hydraulic damping mechanism is coupled to the moveable element, wherein the damping mechanism includes a piston disposed in a cylinder of the housing and configured to operate with air inside the cylinder as the working fluid and a spring to resiliently bias the piston towards the moveable element. Movement of the moveable element towards the piston causes the piston to compress the air inside the cylinder to thereby provide a resistance force against the moveable element to thereby dampen the movement of the moveable element.

A diaphragm cell for damping pressure pulsations in a low-pressure region of a piston pump has two axially deformable diaphragms that are connected along their radial peripheries and enclose a gas space. The diaphragms each have a central region that extends over no less than 50% of the cross-sectional surface area of the diaphragms. The diaphragms are of undulating shape in the central region, which is curved axially outwards in its radially inner region and in its radially outer region. The diaphragms further include an axially inwardly curved annular region that is arranged between and immediately adjacent to the radially inner region and the radially outer region. An axially-measured amplitude of the wave shape has a predetermined range related to the cross-sectional surface area of the diaphragms when the pressure difference is zero. The pressure difference is a pressure in the gas space minus a pressure outside the gas space.
