Fluid-filled tubular vibration-damping device

A fluid-filled tubular vibration-damping device comprising:

• an inner shaft member;
• an outer tube member;
• a main rubber elastic body connecting the inner shaft member and the outer tube member;
• a filling region of a non-compressible fluid formed between the inner shaft member and the outer tube member and partitioned by a partition wall rubber into two fluid chambers located at axially opposite sides thereof, the partition wall rubber being fixed to a side of the inner shaft member in an inner peripheral part of the partition wall rubber while being inserted in an inner bore of an annular orifice member fixed to the outer tube member at an outer peripheral part of the partition wall rubber so that the partition wall rubber is movable in an axial direction relative to the inner bore of the orifice member;
• an orifice passage defined by the orifice member and connecting the two fluid chambers;
• a pair of seal tubular parts being integrally formed at the outer peripheral part of the partition wall rubber such that one of the seal tubular parts protrudes axially upward from an axially upper face of the partition wall rubber with a cylindrical shape and another of the seal tubular parts protrudes axially downward from an axially lower face of the partition wall rubber with a cylindrical shape;
• and
• a pair of annular fitting parts being integrally formed at respective axially protruding tip parts of the pair of seal tubular parts, the annular fitting parts protruding diametrically outwards from the seal tubular parts so that the annular fitting parts have a thicker wall than the seal tubular parts, and the annular fitting parts being fitted within the inner bore of the orifice member such that the annular fitting parts are slidable in relation to the inner bore of the orifice member,
• wherein an outer diameter dimension of the annular fitting parts is set larger than an outer diameter dimension of the seal tubular parts and an outer diameter dimension of the partition wall rubber, and
• wherein the outer diameter dimension of the annular fitting parts is larger than an inner diameter dimension of the inner bore of the orifice member so that the annular fitting parts are pressed against the inner bore of the orifice member, while the outer diameter dimension of the seal tubular parts and the outer diameter dimension of the partition wall rubber are smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the inner bore of the orifice member so that an integral space is formed between outer circumferential surfaces of the seal tubular parts and the partition wall rubber and the inner bore of the orifice member, the integral space being positioned axially between the pair of annular fitting parts.
