    摘要: A piston includes a disc formed to have an annular shape, a cylindrical skirt portion that projects from an outer peripheral portion of the disc on one end side in an axial direction of the disc, and a passage that is formed in the disc and that is opened on an inner side of the skirt portion. An inner peripheral surface of the skirt portion is a slope that increases its diameter toward a side opposite to the disc.

    摘要: A shock absorber includes a valve disc defining two chambers, a flow passage formed in the valve disc, the flow passage allowing communication between the two chambers, a window formed in the valve disc, the window being connected to the flow passage, a valve seat formed on the valve disc, the valve seat surrounding the outer periphery of the window; and a plurality of leaf valves formed in the shape of annular plates, the plurality of leaf valves being stacked on the valve disc. The first leaf valve stacked on the valve disc is provided such that an outer peripheral part is seatable on and separable from the valve seat, and includes a rib recessed on a valve disc side and projecting on an opposite valve disc side at a position facing the valve seat.

    摘要: A switching valve includes a spool, a first cylinder port that communicates with the piston side chamber, a second cylinder port that communicates with the rod side chamber, a bridge passage having a first opening which is adjacent to the first cylinder port and a second opening which is adjacent to the second cylinder port, a regeneration passage formed in the spool to connect the second cylinder port communicating with the rod side chamber to the first cylinder port in accordance with a switching position of the spool, and a first communication port and a second communication port formed in the spool to communicate with the regeneration passage. The first communication port communicates with the second opening of the bridge passage, which is adjacent to the second cylinder port, and the second communication port communicates with the second cylinder port in accordance with the switching position of the spool.

    摘要: A shock absorber includes: a communication passage configured to cause a working fluid chamber formed in a cylinder to communicate with a reservoir for reserving a working fluid therein; a damping force generating mechanism configured to apply resistance to the working fluid passing through the communication passage; a low-speed compression-side damping adjuster configured to change a damping force when a stroke speed is in a low-speed range during compression; a high-speed compression-side damping adjuster configured to change the damping force when the stroke speed is in a high-speed range, the high-speed range representing higher speed than the low-speed range during compression; and an extension-side damping adjuster configured to change the damping force during extension. The low-speed compression-side damping adjuster, the high-speed compression-side damping adjuster, and the extension-side damping adjuster are attached to a tank side of the cylinder.
