摘要

A suspension assembly having a shaft with a first end and a second end. The first end of the shaft is mounted to a force receiving member. The shaft is translatable within a linear bearing, which is mounted to a support member. A first magnet is mounted to the force receiving member and a second magnet is mounted to the support member. A shaft collar is mounted to the second end of the shaft. The first and second magnets are adapted to provide a magnetic force against a force applied to the force receiving member.
