End member assemblies including such an end member as well as gas spring and damper assemblies and suspension systems are also included.

End members are supportable along a damper housing and dimensioned for securement to flexible spring member. End members include a wall with a side wall portion including an inner side surface portion. First projections extend toward a first inner edge with a first shoulder surface portion faces a second end. Second projections extend inward beyond the inner side surface portion toward a second inner edge with a second shoulder surface portion facing a first end. Second projections are spaced axially from first projections such that a groove is formed inward of the inner side surface portion between first and second shoulder surface portions. End member assemblies including such an end member as well as gas spring and damper assemblies and suspension systems are also included.

A vibration damping device including a vibration-damping device main unit attached to a bracket from a lateral side by a second attachment member being fitted to opposed walls provided on widthwise opposite sides of the bracket. The bracket includes flexible latches extending from the respective opposed walls forward in a direction of attachment. The second attachment member includes outer recesses respectively opening onto surfaces overlapped with the respective opposed walls. Each latch has a slope portion sloping inward in a width direction of the bracket such that a distal end face of the latch is inserted in the corresponding outer recess. The distal end face of the latch is latched by a forward wall inner face of the outer recess, and displacement of the second attachment member relative to the bracket in a direction of dislodgment opposite to the direction of attachment is limited.

A mechanical assembly for a vehicle (10), in particular a motor vehicle, comprises a rotating element (18), a support Got (20) for the rotating element (18), and a cover (22) attached on the support (20) for the rotating element (18). The cover (22) has at least one edge (50) attached on the support (20) for the rotating element (18) and a bottom (52) extending substantially in a plane. The N bottom (52) is at least partially covered by elastomer material (58).

Provided is an elastic member according to an embodiment. The elastic member includes an upper support, a lower support provided under the upper support, and at least one elastic part configured to connect the upper support to the lower support, wherein the elastic part includes an upper support portion formed downward from the upper support, a lower support portion configured to extend upwardly from the lower support, and a connecting portion configured to connect the upper support portion to the lower support portion with a predetermined inclination and to be bent and deformed when the elastic member is pressed.

A shock absorber has a first and second end surfaces opposite to each other in an axial direction, and a plurality of connection surfaces. The first end surface is an N-sided polygon (N is an integer of 3 or more and the second end surface is an M-sided polygon (M is an integer of 4 or more and more than N). (M−N) vertices are provided at intermediate positions in the axial direction on a circumferential surface defined by the plurality of connection surfaces. From the vertices, one first ridgeline reaches one vertex of the first end surface and two second ridgelines reach a corresponding one of two vertices of the second end surface. The remaining vertices are connected to each other by (2×N−M) third ridgelines. The first ridgeline, the second ridgelines, and the third ridgelines define the plurality of connection surfaces.

A torsional damper is provided and is equipped with a hub fixed to a rotary shaft and having an outer circumferential surface circumferentially around the rotary shaft, an annular vibration ring having an inner circumferential surface circumferentially around the rotary shaft and with a diameter larger than that of the outer circumferential surface of the hub, and a rubber ring in a compressed state between the outer circumferential surface of the hub and the inner circumferential surface of the vibration ring, that is formed from a rubber composition containing EPDM as a main component, and has a loss coefficient (tan δ) of 0.18 or more when the surface temperature is 60±5° C., wherein when subjected to a resonance point tracking method, the maximum attained surface temperature (Tmax) of the rubber ring during continuous excitation at the resonance point and the rubber fitting width (b) satisfy a specific relational expression.

In an example an overhead door track is provided. The overhead door track includes a vertical track section having an opening to receive a roller of a panel of an overhead door and to guide movement of the roller within the opening and a single solid polymer based vibration isolator coupled to the vertical track section to reduce vibration of the vertical track section caused by movement of the roller within the opening.
