Abstract:
A damper includes a cylinder into which magneto-rheological fluid is sealed, a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, a throttle passage, an electromagnetic coil, and a spacer. The first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber are partitioned by a piston core in the cylinder. The throttle passage is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the piston core. The throttle passage communicates between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber. The throttle passage provides a resistance to a flow of the passing magneto-rheological fluid. The electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field acting on the magneto-rheological fluid flowing through the throttle passage. The spacer is mounted to the piston core and is configured to adjust a length of the throttle passage.

Claim (Index 1):
A magneto-rheological fluid damper that employs magneto-rheological fluid as working fluid, the magneto-rheological fluid changing apparent viscosity according to a strength of a magnetic field, the magneto-rheological fluid damper comprising:\n a cylinder into which the magneto-rheological fluid is sealed; a piston made of a magnetic material, the piston being movably disposed in the cylinder; a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber partitioned by the piston in the cylinder; a throttle passage formed between an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the piston, the throttle passage communicating between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber, the throttle passage providing a resistance to a flow of the passing magneto-rheological fluid; an electromagnetic coil disposed at the piston, the electromagnetic coil being configured to generate the magnetic field, the magnetic field acting on the magneto-rheological fluid flowing through the throttle passage; and the adjusting member mounted to the piston, the adjusting member being configured to adjust a length of the throttle passage.
