Abstract
A shock absorber is provided having a cylinder, a piston rod, a piston body, and a valve. The cylinder is configured to receive fluid. The piston body is connected to the piston rod and is configured to reciprocate within the cylinder between a compression chamber and a rebound chamber. The valve is provided by the piston body having a fluid flow port, a valve seat, a circumferential valving element, and a spring configured to urge the valve body into the valve seat. A primary damping valve and an auxiliary damping valve are also provided.
Claims1
A hydraulic fluid control valve for a shock absorber, comprising:
- a valve body;
- a first valve having an orifice, a plug and a spring configured to urge the plug against the orifice, the orifice provided on the valve body and the valve body interposed between a shock absorber fluid internal chamber and a differential overflow source of shock absorber fluid;
- a hydraulic pump configured to urge the plug against the orifice;
- a fluid bypass port configured to move fluid from outside the valve body into the hydraulic pump to apply differential force on the plug against the orifice;
- and
- a second valve fluidly coupled with the fluid bypass port adjustable in flow rate to vary the differential force on the plug against the orifice.
