Abstract
A shock absorber with multiple damping laws comprises a regulating body (12) with a primary valve (14) and a secondary valve (15), and an activating shaft (21) with a plurality of channels (16, 17), the activating shaft (21) being housed in an axial orifice (36) of a piston pin (30) that incorporates a plurality of orifices (31, 32, 33) intended to align by rotation of the activating shaft (21) with the channels (16, 17) to determine a damping law and, with the second orifice (32) in direct communication with the regulating body (12), wherein the regulating body (12) comprises a floating piston (13) that has a toroidal configuration and is made of an elastic material, so that it gradually transfers a force to the primary valve (14) depending on the pressure to which it is subjected.
Claims15
A shock absorber with multiple damping laws comprising:
- a regulating body with a primary valve and a secondary valve, and
- an activating shaft with a plurality of channels, the activating shaft being housed in an axial orifice of a piston pin that incorporates a plurality of orifices intended to align by rotation of the activating shaft with the channels to determine a damping law,
- wherein the plurality of orifices comprises at least a first orifice and a second orifice, where at least the second orifice is in direct communication with the regulating body, and
- wherein the regulating body comprises a floating piston that has a toroidal configuration and is made of an elastic material, so that the regulating body gradually transfers a force to the primary valve depending on the pressure to which the regulating body is subjected.
