An oleophobic, hydrophobic air bleed equalizes fork pressure across elevations to cut axial friction while blocking oil leaks and water ingress.
Interconnected liquid cavities and a tubular flow channel let a liquid rubber composite node combine low radial stiffness with high axial stiffness.
A nested fluid-filled absorber uses dual-pressure chambers to spread impact loads and reduce linear and angular head acceleration.
Dual damping devices and a vibration damper maintain stiffness, absorb seismic motion, and suppress recovery impact loads without power.
An adjustable fluid-filled gap around an annular damping mass helps machine tool spindles suppress vibration across varying excitation frequencies.
Shock strut probe detects liquid level via optical sensing to prevent performance degradation from undetected oil leaks.
Compressible material within a spring system exerts frictional forces on the rod, controlling speed and providing end travel cushioning.
Segmented gas chambers and pressure valves maintain linearity, preventing premature stiffness in uneven terrain.
A dual-chamber gas spring employs a movable seal to throttle gas flow, compressing secondary chamber gas to reduce piston velocity and prevent impact damage.
Insoluble powder mixed in sealed fluid acts as bubble nuclei to accelerate dispersed cavitation and reduce negative pressure.
An elastic buffer body narrows communication holes in a fluid-filled vibration damping device, reducing dynamic spring constant and minimizing striking noise.
