A coilover shock with adjustable crossover is disclosed, in which, in some embodiments, a pre-load collar of a coilover shock may be adjustable in length, so as to engage the spring divider, when the tender coil spring is partially compressed during a compression stroke of the coilover shock, to prevent further compression of the tender coil spring and begin compression of the main coil spring. In some embodiments, the spring divider may be adjustable in length, so as to engage the pre-load collar, when the tender coil spring is partially compressed during a compression stoke of the coilover shock, to prevent further compression of the tender coil spring and begin compression of the main coil spring. In some embodiments, an adjustable pre-load collar, or an adjustable spring divider, may be controlled remotely, such as by a controller located in the driver compartment of the vehicle.

A shock absorber for a vehicle having a damper and a first and second springs mounted coaxially around the damper and a preload adjuster for partially compressing at least one of the springs independently of the compression stroke. In one embodiment the preload adjuster is remotely controllable. In another embodiment the shock absorber includes an additional mechanism for preloading at least one of the springs.

A shock absorber including: a first cylinder having an interior, first and second ends and defining an axis, wherein the interior includes a damping fluid chamber and a damping piston movably mounted therein for movement between the first and second ends, wherein the damping piston is mounted on a first end of a shaft, wherein the first end of the shaft is movably retained within the interior of the first cylinder; first and second bypass openings configured for opening into the damping fluid chamber at first and second axially spaced-apart positions; a bypass channel fluidly coupling the first and second bypass openings; a fluid metering valve; and a floating piston dividing a portion of the shock absorber into a gas chamber and the reservoir chamber, wherein the fluid metering valve and the floating piston define the reservoir chamber there between.

The present invention is to provide a bound stopper, which has high mechanical strength, is excellent in durability against fatigue breaking, settling or the like when a heavy load is repeatedly received, and is easy to be produced, in which the bound stopper comprises a polyurethane foam obtained from a polyurethane foam composition containing an isocyanate component and a blowing agent, and the isocyanate component contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the urethane prepolymer being obtained from a polyol component, a polyrotaxane containing a cyclic molecule having an active hydrogen group as a constituent, and an isocyanate.

A damper assembly for a vehicle which includes a damper body, a first ring element, and a spring coupler. The damper body includes a threaded portion which extends between a first end and a second end of the damper body. The first ring element is disposed within a first groove in the threaded portion. The spring coupler having a passage to concentrically receive the damper body such that the spring coupler is configured to slide over the first ring element. The first ring element is disposed within the first groove of the threaded portion such that a sliding clearance is provided between an inner portion of the spring coupler and the threaded portion.

A suspension actuator assembly includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator selectively applies a first force between an unsprung mass and a sprung mass of a vehicle to control movement therebetween. The second actuator selectively applies a second force between the unsprung mass and a reaction mass to damp movement of the unsprung mass. The second actuator is coupled to the first actuator to form the suspension actuator assembly as a singular unit.

An air spring includes a closing member, a rolling piston, and an air spring bellows connected to the rolling piston and the closing member to form a fluid-filled pressure chamber. A level control system for supplying and/or discharging fluid may be integrated into the pressure chamber to control level position based on air spring stroke. The level control system may have a control valve and an actuator connected to the control valve. The actuator may include a guide tube coupled to the rolling piston or closing member, and movably arranged within the pressure chamber. An actuating member may include a pin member and may operate the control valve. A compression spring may have a central spring and a biasing spring, and the guide tube may include a control flange coupled to the pin member, and the biasing spring may be supported to press the pin member against the control valve.
