Abstract: A damping force generating mechanism includes: a flow passage formation part that forms a flow passage through which a liquid flows; and a valve that is configured to control a flow of the liquid in the flow passage. The flow passage formation part includes a first seat part that is provided radially outward of a flow passage port of the flow passage, protrudes from the flow passage port and contacts the valve, a second seat part that is provided radially outward of the first seat part, protrudes from the flow passage port and contacts the valve, and a circulation part having an orifice that allows the liquid to flow from the flow passage port toward the second seat part in a state in which the valve is in contact with the first seat part.

Abstract: A damping-force generation mechanism includes: a first flow path forming portion forming a flow path in which a fluid flows; a first valve configured to control a flow of the fluid in the flow path; a back pressure chamber forming portion forming a back pressure chamber configured to apply a back pressure to the first valve; a second flow path forming portion including a plurality of connection flow paths connected to the back pressure chamber; and a second valve provided to face the second flow path forming portion and configured to control flows of the fluid in the plurality of connection flow paths.

Abstract: A damping force generating mechanism includes: a flow passage formation part that forms a flow passage through which a liquid flows; a valve configured to control a flow of the liquid in the flow passage; a back pressure control valve configured to control a pressure in a back pressure chamber that provides a back pressure to the valve by inflow of the liquid; and an accommodation part that is in a tubular shape with one side opening end narrower than another side opening end, forms the back pressure chamber, and accommodates at least the valve and the back pressure control valve.
