See how a coupling-activated additional braking device enhances viscous damping force at high s
A speed-activated auxiliary brake boosts damping force at higher motion speeds while keeping low-speed friction and seal-related drag low.
A sub-cylinder hydraulic lock raises compression-side pressure near stroke end to suppress bottoming and rough-road impact without stiffer springs.
A follow-and-stop engagement mechanism adds braking on seat-back return, preventing hard seat cushion collisions while easing lift load.
Integrated external fluid pathways and valves in a single shock body cut assembly cost, fit tight spaces, and improve damping and heat dissipation.
Integrated raised fins on a monolithic shock absorber cylinder improve hydraulic fluid heat transfer while reducing welded parts and assembly complexity.
One-way passages in the upper cap feed fluid from the reserve to rebound reservoir, reducing pressure imbalance, hysteresis, and negative rebound pressure.
Fluid-filled shock absorbers replace bulky helmet padding to cut weight, improve impact attenuation, and reduce pressure points.
