A shock strut is disclosed. The shock strut may include a shock strut cylinder, a shock strut piston that is slidably disposed within the shock strut cylinder, a metering pin, and a percolation seal configured to restrict a flow of liquid between the shock strut cylinder and the shock strut piston.

A damper for a glove box includes a cylinder, a piston movably disposed in the cylinder, and a valve movably disposed in an accommodation portion of the piston. The piston includes a piston body in which an orifice is formed and a rod formed to protrude from the piston body and in which the accommodation portion is disposed. The valve includes a valve body, a pin formed to protrude from the valve body to have an end portion thereof disposed in the orifice, and a leg formed to protrude from the valve body. The valve is configured to move due to movement of the piston in a direction opposite to a movement direction of the piston to have the leg come into contact with the piston body.

Disclosed herein a suspension system includes a damper in which a piston valve is movably provided in a chamber inside a cylinder; and an actuator coupled to a side portion of the cylinder to communicate with the chamber inside the cylinder; wherein the actuator comprises a rotating body in which a rotational drive shaft coupled to a center thereof, the rotating body configured to be rotated by working fluid transmitted from the chamber during a stroke of the piston valve; a centrifugal valve coupled to the rotational drive shaft in front of the rotating body, the centrifugal valve rotating together with the rotating body and varying an area of a flow path hole through which the working fluid passes according to a rotational speed of the rotating body; and a generator combined motor in which the rotational drive shaft is rotatably arranged at a rear of the rotating body, the generator combined motor configured to charge by generating electric energy through the rotation of the rotational drive shaft.

A shock absorber may include an elongated housing that contains damping medium, a piston rod with a first piston that divides the elongated housing into a rebound volume and a first compression volume, a second piston configured to move through a second compression volume, a third piston configured to move through a third compression volume, and a mount cap for the elongated housing. The mount cap may include a bleed circuit that leads from the third compression volume to the first compression volume. The second and third pistons may be configured so as only to be engaged when necessary to prevent the shock absorber from bottoming out in a compression stroke. A user-accessible adjuster mechanism on an outside of the shock absorber can be manipulated to close, open, or partially open the bleed circuit and thereby adjust the damping characteristics of the second and third pistons.

A shock strut is disclosed. The shock strut may include a shock strut cylinder, a shock strut piston that is slidably disposed within the shock strut cylinder, a metering pin, and a percolation seal configured to restrict a flow of liquid between the shock strut cylinder and the shock strut piston.

A shock absorber includes a bypass passage that is open from the side of a piston rod and causes an extension side chamber and a compression side chamber, which are divided by a piston in a cylinder, to communicate with each other; a shutter that is mounted on an outer circumference of the piston rod to be movable in an axial direction and opens or closes the bypass passage; and a coil spring that connects a rod guide mounted on one end portion of the cylinder and the shutter.

An orifice plate may include a body portion comprised of a non-metallic material, and a metallic wear insert, wherein the metallic wear insert defines an inner diameter surface of the orifice plate and the body portion defines an outer diameter surface of the orifice plate.

Disclosed herein a suspension system includes a damper in which a piston valve is movably provided in a chamber inside a cylinder; and an actuator coupled to a side portion of the cylinder to communicate with the chamber inside the cylinder; wherein the actuator comprises a rotating body in which a rotational drive shaft coupled to a center thereof, the rotating body configured to be rotated by working fluid transmitted from the chamber during a stroke of the piston valve; a centrifugal valve coupled to the rotational drive shaft in front of the rotating body, the centrifugal valve rotating together with the rotating body and varying an area of a flow path hole through which the working fluid passes according to a rotational speed of the rotating body; and a generator combined motor in which the rotational drive shaft is rotatably arranged at a rear of the rotating body, the generator combined motor configured to charge by generating electric energy through the rotation of the rotational drive shaft.

A suspension unit for a front fork of a vehicle includes an annular tube. The first tube defines a compression chamber and a damping chamber. A damper includes a first valve allowing gas to variably flow from the compression chamber to the damping chamber and a second valve allowing gas to flow from the damping chamber to the compression chamber. An external adjuster allows a rider to adjust the first valve to improve ride conditions.

A valve includes a body that has a longitudinal axis. The body includes a conical portion positioned at an end of the body. The conical portion at least partially surrounds the body. The body includes a planar face circumferentially adjacent the conical portion. The planar face is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the body.
