Abstract: A shock absorber includes: a piston which is connected to an upper end of a rod by a fixing member and moves forward and backward in a cylinder; a conductor member which penetrates the piston from an upper end of an outer tube and extends into the rod; a coil which is provided in the rod so as to be capable of detecting a displacement of the conductor member with respect to the rod; an elastic body made of a resin material which is provided adjacent to the conductor member and on an outer side of an outer peripheral surface of the conductor member; and a support portion which supports an outer peripheral surface of the elastic body so as to restrict movement of the elastic body in a direction intersecting a center line of the conductor member.

Abstract: A shock absorber includes a hollow cylinder body extending in an up-down direction, a rod pipe located on an axis of the cylinder body, provided to be relatively movable in an axial direction of the cylinder body with respect to the cylinder body, and provided in a form of receiving a force in the axial direction, a rod-shaped support body extending inside the rod pipe with an upper end fixed, a stroke sensor including a coil and a conductor provided to be able to detect relative displacement of the rod pipe with respect to the support body, and a hollow intermediate member provided between the inner peripheral surface of the rod pipe and the support body to allow movement in the axial direction.
