A fluid damper is provided including a cylinder filled with a damping fluid, a piston base body shiftably guided in the cylinder along a stroke axis, and a valve disk spaced apart from a shell wall of the cylinder. The piston base body divides an inner space of the cylinder into a front space and a rear space along the stroke axis. In the piston base body, there is at least one channel connecting the front space to the rear space in a fluid-conducting manner. The valve disk is shiftably guided along the stroke axis between an opening position unblocking the at least one channel and a closing position closing the at least one channel. The valve disk has a central area extending radially outward from the stroke axis, the central area being free of apertures.

A vehicle damper assembly is disclosed. The damper includes a cylinder having an inner diameter (ID). A rod and a piston, the piston coupled to the rod and configured to divide the cylinder into a compression side and a rebound side. An electronic valve assembly including an electronic valve body coupled with the rod on the compression side of the piston. The electronic valve body having an electronic valve body outer diameter (OD). A boost valve having a boost valve body, a boost valve area located between the electronic valve body and the boost valve body, the boost valve having a boost valve OD. The boost valve OD is larger than the electronic valve body OD, such that the boost valve is configured to allow the electronic valve assembly to operate within said cylinder ID that is too large for the electronic valve body OD.

A hydraulic shock absorber including a housing and an absorber unit. The absorber unit is movable relative to the housing in the axis direction of an absorber unit middle axis A-A and includes a piston which is arranged on a piston rod and which subdivides the housing into a first and a second working space which is filled with damping fluid.

Disclosed is a shock absorber including: a cylinder which is filled with a working fluid; a piston which is slidably provided in the cylinder and divides an inside of the cylinder into two chambers; a piston rod which is connected to the piston and extends outside the cylinder; a first passage and a second passage through which the working fluid flows due to movement of the piston; a first damping force generating mechanism which is provided in the first passage and generates a damping force; and a second damping force generating mechanism which is provided in the second passage and generates a damping force. The second damping force generating mechanism includes a sub valve provided on one side of the second passage, and a volume variable mechanism that changes a volume of a volume chamber provided in parallel with the second passage.

A hydraulic shock absorber including a housing and an absorber unit. The absorber unit is movable relative to the housing in the axis direction of an absorber unit middle axis A-A and includes a piston which is arranged on a piston rod and which subdivides the housing into a first and a second working space which is filled with damping fluid.

Disclosed is a frequency sensitive type shock absorber including a piston rod reciprocating an inside of a cylinder and having a connection passage therein; a piston valve mounted on the piston rod and having a plurality of compression and rebound flow paths penetrating up and down thereof, and partitioning the cylinder into compression and rebound chambers; and a valve assembly mounted on the piston rod to generate a damping force that changes with frequency during a rebound stroke; wherein the valve assembly comprises: a housing coupled to the piston rod and having a pilot chamber in communication with the connection passage; a main retainer coupled to the piston rod and having a main chamber formed on an upper portion thereof in communication with the connecting passage; and a pilot valve coupled to the piston rod and disposed between the housing and the main retainer to partition the pilot chamber and the main chamber.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic damper comprising a tube and a piston assembly provided with rebound valve assemblies and compression valve assemblies, wherein each valve assembly comprises a deflectable-disc valve and a blow-off valve. The piston assembly comprises two sleeve-shaped members each provided with a plurality of blow-off valve flow passages, a plurality of deflectable-disc valve flow passages, and a central opening, wherein the piston rod passes through said central openings to secure the piston assembly, a plurality of deflectable disc(s) of the deflectable-disc valve cover(s) said deflectable-disc valve flow passages , wherein a plurality of disc(s) of the blow-off valve adjoin(s) said blow-off valve flow passages, wherein the piston assembly further comprises two spring seats abutting said disc(s) of the blow-off valve, and at least one spring disposed within said internal chamber that biases said spring seats towards said number of discBP-S20010US(s).

A valve includes: a valve case; and an annular valve body, one of the inner circumference end and the outer circumference end of the valve body being formed as the free end capable of moving towards both sides in the axial direction with respect to the valve case. The valve case has the annular opposing surface capable of opposing to the free end so as to form the gap therebetween, and the guide surface that is positioned on one side of the opposing surface in the axial direction, the guide surface being continuous with the part of the opposing surface in the circumferential direction. The guide surface is inclined in the direction away from the valve body as the distance from the opposing surface is increased.

A valve assembly includes a valve body defining an inner volume, a flow controller positioned within the inner volume, a plug positioned within the inner volume, and a biasing element. The plug is spaced from the flow controller such that an intermediate chamber is defined between the plug and the flow controller. The biasing element is positioned in the intermediate chamber between the plug and the flow controller. The plug is repositionable within the inner volume. As the plug moves within the inner volume, the plug interacts with the biasing element such that the biasing element provides a biasing force to the flow controller.

A hydraulic damper assembly comprises a housing defining a fluid chamber. A piston is slidably disposed in the fluid chamber dividing the fluid chamber into a compression and a rebound chamber. A piston rod couples to the piston for movement between a compression and a rebound stroke. The piston has a compression surface and a rebound surface. The piston defines at least one compression channel, at least one rebound channel, and at least one additional channel. A compression valve covers the at least one compression channel. A rebound valve covers the at least one rebound channel. A proportional bleeding system located between the compression valve and the piston to establish a bleeding flow passage between the at least one rebound chamber and the at least one additional channel for reducing operation harshness of the hydraulic damper assembly. A piston for the hydraulic damper assembly is also disclosed herein.
