Abstract: For the extension and compression strokes of a piston rod, a damping force generating mechanism generates a damping force by controlling the flow of hydraulic oil caused by the sliding movement of a piston in a cylinder. The damping force generating mechanism has a pilot-type main valve, a pilot-type control valve, and a pilot valve. The main valve has a pilot chamber into which the oil is introduced to adjust the valve-opening pressure of the main valve by the pressure in the pilot chamber. The control valve has a pilot chamber into which the oil is introduced to adjust the valve-opening pressure of the control valve by the pressure in the pilot chamber. The pilot valve controls the pressure in the pilot chamber of the control valve. The control valve controls the pressure in the pilot chamber of the main valve.

Abstract: A damping force adjustable shock absorber includes an electromagnetic damping force adjustment device (17) having a damping force adjustment valve (18), and a solenoid (33) configured to variably adjust the damping force. The solenoid includes a coil (39) configured to generate a magnetic force by power supply, a movable iron core (43) located on an inner peripheral side of the coil, an anchor member (40) configured to attract the movable iron core. The movable iron core includes a thick cylindrical portion (43A) and a taper cylindrical portion (43B). The thick cylindrical portion includes a fixation hole (43A1) in which a shaft portion (44) is fixed. The taper cylindrical portion has an inner peripheral surface flaring so as to define a taper shape. A recessed portion (43A2) is formed around the fixation hole. The recessed portion allows hydraulic fluid to flow in an axial direction of the movable iron core.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shock absorber capable of improving responsiveness during an extension stroke without leading to an increase in an axial length. A shock absorber includes a chamber provided on a one-side end of a pilot valve and disposed in communication with a cylinder upper chamber, a communication passage configured to establish communication between the chamber and a cylinder lower chamber via a compression-side passage, and a check valve configured to permit hydraulic fluid in the communication passage to flow into the cylinder lower chamber during an extension stroke.

Abstract: PROBLEMProvided is a damping force control type shock absorber capable of obtaining an appropriate damping force even in the event of a failure independently of the stoke of a valving element of a solenoid valve.MEANS FOR SOLVINGA piston 5 having a piston rod 6 connected thereto is fitted in a cylinder 2 having hydraulic oil sealed therein, and a flow of hydraulic oil induced by movement of the piston 5 is controlled by a damping force generating mechanism 26 to generate a damping force. In the damping force generating mechanism 26, damping force is generated by a pilot-type main valve 27 and a normally-open pilot valve 28 which is a solenoid valve, and the damping force is adjusted by energization of a coil 37. A fail-safe valve 100 is provided downstream of the pilot valve 28. During normal operations, the fail-safe valve 100 opens the flow path through excitation of the coil 37 of the pilot valve 28. In the event of a failure, due to loss of excitation, the fail-safe valve 100 restricts the flow path to generate an appropriate damping force in place of the pilot valve 28, which has become inoperable.

Abstract: Provided are a damper configured such that the axial play between a coil case and a case member can be eliminated without increasing a size of a solenoid, and a method of assembling the damper. An O-ring (seal member) is elastically supported by a tapered hole formed in an inner peripheral surface of a case member and a tapered shaft formed in an outer peripheral surface of a coil case, and a retaining ring is configured to receive an axial force generated by the O-ring. The configuration enables the play between the coil case and the case member of the solenoid to be eliminated. A damping force regulation mechanism, and in turn the damper, may be made more compact in comparison with a case in which the O-ring is received by the opening side end face of the case member.
