The rotary inertial mass damper has a configuration in which the rotary shaft of the oil-pressure motor rotates due to oil pressure of operating oil that is extruded from an oil chamber through reciprocating movement of the piston rod, and viscosity resistance is produced in operating oil that circulates in the connection pipes.

A fixing device for fixing a second component part at a stationary first component part to be swivelable around a swiveling axis 2 having a cylinder that is displaceable transverse to the swiveling axis and filled with a fluid, a piston displaceably guided in the cylinder that divides the interior of the cylinder into a first working chamber and a second working chamber, with a first valve device that connects the first working chamber to the second working chamber when pressure in the first working chamber is higher than the pressure in the second working chamber, and a second valve device that connects the second working chamber to the first working chamber when pressure in the second working chamber is higher than the pressure in the first working chamber.

Disclosed is a self-centering viscous damper with pre-pressed ring springs. The self-centering viscous damper with pre-pressed ring springs comprises a first inner cylinder, a second inner cylinder, a third inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, a first end cover, a second end cover, a piston, a piston rod, a ring spring, a first connector, a second connector, a first linking nut, a second linking nut, a first outer cover, a second outer cover, a first end and a second end. Due to the interaction between the inner and outer cylinders, the ring springs are further pressed whether a damper is tensioned or pressed. The ring springs have been applied with pre-pressure which overcomes a frictional force and a restoring force when the ring springs are in an initial equilibrium position.

A door component has a controllable damping device and contains a magnetorheological fluid. Two connection units are movable relative to one another. One of the two connection units is connected to a support structure and the other one to a pivotable door unit. The device damps a movement of the door unit between a closed position and an open position in a controlled manner by way of a control unit. The magnetorheological damping device has a piston unit and a cylinder unit surrounding the piston unit. The piston unit divides a cylinder volume into two chambers. The piston unit is equipped with a first one-way valve. The two chambers are connected together, via an external return channel equipped with at least one controllable magnetorheological damping valve, to form a one-way circuit. When the piston unit moves in and out, the magnetorheological fluid flows through the piston unit in the same flow direction.

A damper for a rotor hub for a rotorcraft can include a housing, a piston resiliently coupled to the housing with a first elastomeric member and a second elastomeric member, a plurality of conical members, a fluid, and an orifice.

Landing gear for an aircraft, the landing gear having at least one pair of shock absorbers comprising a first shock absorber and a second shock absorber, each shock absorber comprising a cylinder defining an inside space and a rod carrying a piston, the inside space being subdivided at least into a “primary” chamber and into a “secondary” chamber, the shock absorber including at least one throttling orifice putting the secondary chamber into fluid flow communication with the primary chamber. The primary chamber of the first shock absorber is connected to the secondary chamber of the second shock absorber of the pair by a first pipe, and the secondary chamber of the first shock absorber of the pair is connected to the primary chamber of the second shock absorber of the pair by a second pipe.

A semi-active anti-yaw damper (100), a damping system and a vehicle are provided. When a piston (2) of the semi-active anti-yaw damper (100) reciprocates in the hydraulic cylinder (1), an interior of the hydraulic cylinder (1) is divided into two cylinder blocks (PA, PB). The semi-active anti-yaw damper (100) includes at least two parallel branches (B1, B2), the two ends of each of the parallel branches (B1, B2) are connected to the two cylinder blocks (PA, PB), respectively, and each of the parallel branches (B1, B2) is provided with an adjustable solenoid valve (PV), and the adjustable solenoid valve (PV) is configured to adjust a damping coefficient of the semi-active anti-yaw damper (100) when the semi-active anti-yaw damper (100) is in a semi-active mode.

Disclosed herein is a sway bar system comprising a damping link that couples a first end of a sway bar to a first location on a vehicle. The damping link is comprised of a body comprising a damping chamber and a reservoir. There is also a through shaft coupled to a piston, where the piston divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. A high-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the first chamber and the second chamber to the reservoir. A low-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the reservoir to the first chamber and the second chamber. The high-pressure line and the low-pressure line assist in self-centering the sway bar.

An active control anti-yaw damper (100) is provided. When a piston (2) of the active control anti-yaw damper (100) reciprocates inside a hydraulic cylinder (1), an interior of the hydraulic cylinder (1) is divided into two cylinder blocks (PA, PB) which communicate with an oil reservoir through two main oil lines respectively to form a primary loop between the hydraulic cylinder (1) and the oil reservoir; a reversing valve (PV3) is installed between the two main oil lines and the oil reservoir and is configured to change a flow direction of the primary loop when the active control anti-yaw damper (100) is in an active mode and adjust a displacement of the piston (2) within the hydraulic cylinder (1).
