A bracket of a cylinder device includes: a tubular portion having a C-shaped cross section, holding an outer periphery of the outer shell, and having a slit in a front portion; and a pair of mounting portions and protruding outward in the radial direction from both ends of the tubular portion in the circumferential direction. The tubular portion includes a hole formed to permit insertion of the protrusion, from at least one side portion to the back portion of the tubular portion.

Cylinder device and method for manufacturing cylinder device

A damping valve includes a valve disc including a passage and a valve seat configured to surround an outlet end of the passage, a leaf valve configured to separate from/sit on the valve seat to open/close the passage, and a biasing part configured to exert a variable biasing force on the leaf valve toward the valve disc, and a gap is provided between the leaf valve and the valve seat.

Damping valve and shock absorber

A damping valve includes a valve disc, a ring-shaped leaf valve, and a biasing mechanism. The valve disc includes a passage and a valve seat. The valve seat surrounds an exit end of the passage. The leaf valve is stacked on the valve disc. The leaf valve separates from and is seated on the valve seat to open and close the passage. The biasing mechanism causes a variable biasing force to act on the leaf valve to the valve disc side. The entire leaf valve is configured to axially retreat with respect to the valve disc. A clearance is formed between the leaf valve and the valve seat in a state in which the leaf valve is stacked on the valve disc with no load.

A solenoid valve includes a main valve having a valve seat and a main valve body configured to open or close a main flow passage, a pilot passage that branches from the main flow passage, an orifice provided in the pilot passage, a back-pressure chamber configured to bias the main valve body to a closing direction by virtue of an internal pressure, a pilot valve configured to control an internal pressure of the back-pressure chamber, and a solenoid configured to control a valve opening pressure of the pilot valve. There is a time difference between a valve opening timing of the main valve and a valve opening timing of the pilot valve such that the valve opening timing of the main valve is delayed from the valve opening timing of the pilot valve.

Solenoid valve

A solenoid valve includes a valve seat provided in a main flow passage, a main valve body configured to open or close the main flow passage, a pilot passage that branches from the main flow passage, an orifice provided in the pilot passage, a back-pressure chamber connected to the pilot passage downstream from the orifice to bias the main valve body to a closing direction by virtue of an internal pressure, a pilot valve disposed in the pilot passage downstream from a connection point to the back-pressure chamber to control an internal pressure of the back-pressure chamber, a solenoid configured to control a valve opening pressure of the pilot valve, and a second orifice provided between the back-pressure chamber and the pilot valve.

A hydraulic shock absorber includes: an expansion-side passage and a contraction-side passage that connect an expansion-side chamber with a contraction-side chamber; an expansion-side valve body configured to open or close the expansion-side passage; a contraction-side valve body configured to open or close the contraction-side passage; an expansion-side back-pressure chamber configured to bias the expansion-side valve body; a contraction-side back-pressure chamber configured to bias the contraction-side valve body; a communicating channel communicating with the expansion-side back-pressure chamber through an expansion-side resistance element, and with the contraction-side back-pressure chamber through a contraction-side resistance element; an expansion-side pressure introduction passage connecting the expansion-side chamber with the contraction-side back-pressure chamber; a contraction-side pressure introduction passage connecting the contraction-side chamber with the expansion-side back-pressure chamber; a regulating passage connected to the communicating channel; and a solenoid pressure control valve in the regulating passage to control a pressure in the upstream of the regulating passage.
