Shock absorber and saddle-type vehicle
A shock absorber includes a first damping force generating portion which is fixed to a first end portion of a cylinder in an axial direction thereof, a second damping force generating portion which is disposed to be movable in the axial direction in the cylinder. The second damping force generating portion includes a first flow path which passes through a piston in the axial direction, the piston partitioning a space inside the cylinder, a first valve which opens and closes the first flow path, a first adjustment unit which adjusts a force required to open the first valve, a second flow path which is located at a different position from the first flow path and passes through the piston in the axial direction, a second valve which opens and closes the second flow path, and a second adjustment unit which adjusts a force required to open the second valve.
Hydraulic damping device with adjustable resistance and a riding platform
Disclosed is a hydraulic damping device level riding platform with adjustable resistance, which comprises a frame body, a shaft mechanism, a flywheel and a hydraulic damping mechanism, the shaft mechanism is arranged on the frame body, one end of the shaft mechanism is connected with the hydraulic damping mechanism and another end of the shaft mechanism is connected with the flywheel. The hydraulic damping mechanism comprises: a cavity; a rotating disc provided with blades, the rotating disc is arranged in the cavity; and a liquid level height adjusting mechanism movably connected inside the cavity to control a liquid level height in the cavity. The liquid level height of the liquid in the cavity is controlled through the liquid level height adjustment mechanism, so as to realize the control of the resistance of the rotating disc to the liquid.
DUAL PISTON ADJUSTER
