  • Patent number: 12768421
    Abstract: Motor vehicle vibration damper with at least one damper cylinder at least partially filled with a liquid damping medium; a piston rod axially movable to the longitudinal extension axis (L) of the damper and sections of which project into the damper cylinder; a piston rod guide surrounding the piston rod in the peripheral direction and seals off the damper cylinder; a gas-impermeable, shape-changing gas pressure container located in a compensation chamber inside the damper cylinder; a filling channel connecting the interior of the gas pressure container to the external environment; and a non-return valve at least indirectly connected to the gas pressure container and closes or opens the filling channel depending on gas pressure difference. The non-return valve is inside a gas-impermeable non-return valve housing connected to the piston rod guide.

  • Publication number: 20240360886
    Abstract: Vibration damper having an adjustable damping valve device comprising an actuator having a magnetic coil that applies a magnetic actuation force to an axially movable valve armature within a sleeve-like fixed return member that includes a conductive portion and an insulating portion. The return member cooperates with a pole disk that conducts a magnetic flux of the magnetic coil and on which an axial transfer of the magnetic flux for the actuating movement of the valve armature takes place. The insulating portion of the return member is adjoined in the direction of the pole disk by a second conductive portion and the valve armature axially overlaps the second conductive portion depending on the stroke.

  • Publication number: 20240068542
    Abstract: Damping valve device, having a pre-stage valve and a main-stage valve. An actuating force on the main-stage valve body is set via the pre-stage valve, which can be adjusted by a solenoid coil. The damping valve device has an emergency operation device, which sets a defined closing force at the pre-stage valve in the event of a failure of the power supply of the damping valve device. The emergency operation device is formed by at least one permanent magnet within a magnetic flux circuit of the solenoid coil.
