A shock absorber includes a first end fitting connected to a first telescoping member, a second end fitting connected to a second telescoping member, the first and second telescoping members being telescopically mounted relative to each other. An elastomeric spring/damper is disposed between the first telescoping member and the second telescoping member.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic damper for a motor vehicle, comprising a tube with a slidably piston assembly attached to an end of a piston rod that is led outside the tube through a rod guide. A protective cap surrounds a portion of the tube. A partially axially elastic protective tube is attached to the cap and surrounds it and the piston rod. The cap is a unitary plastic component and has an annular flange provided with locking means attaching it to the protective tube. The cap has a plurality of spaced axial ribs separated by axial slots and joining a cylindrical section of the cap with the flange. A plurality of auxiliary ribs join the axial ribs and the annular area of the axial slots is larger than the total annular area of the axial ribs and the auxiliary ribs combined.

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.

A vehicle wheel having a suspension and a steering device is capable of not only simplifying a driving system but also reducing the number of parts and reducing weight. The vehicle wheel includes a suspension combined with a damper and a spring in a housing of a stator of an in-wheel motor embedded in each wheel of a vehicle and a steering device directly connected to the suspension.

A pressure buffer stop for a vibration damper that comprises for being at least partially received in a dome bearing housing an outer contour and for coaxial arrangement on a piston rod of the vibration damper a hollow-cylindrical basic structure with an inner contour, wherein the outer contour of the pressure buffer stop comprises in at least one region for being at least partially received in the dome bearing housing a three-dimensionally structured surface.

The disclosure concerns a spring assembly with a leaf spring. The leaf spring extends in a vehicle longitudinal axis, supports a vehicle axle and is connected at least indirectly to a vehicle superstructure at a front end and at a rear end. In order to provide a wheel suspension with advantageous springing and damping behavior that is optimized with regard to weight and complexity, according to the disclosure it is provided that at least one damping region, which is at least partially fluid-filled, is integrated in the leaf spring.

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.

Suspension bumper for the suspension of a motor vehicle, comprising a molded part made of elastomer being essentially symmetrical in revolution about a main axis of compression, this bumper comprising one end forming a crown comprising bearing faces (48) designed to receive pressure from a moving part, the end crown comprising protuberances (58, 60) that are separated from one another by notches (54) distributed over the perimeter of this crown, these bosses having bearing faces (48) arranged at various heights.
