Abstract

A shock absorber includes an outer tube, an inner tube fitted to the outer tube so as to be able to move forward and backward, a cylinder provided inside the outer tube and extending inside the inner tube, a rod extending from an end portion of the inner tube exposed from the outer tube to an inside of the cylinder, and a piston which is provided on the rod and divides the inside of the cylinder to form a gas chamber. On an outer peripheral surface of the piston, a first lubricating member, a first seal member, and a second seal member are provided in this order from a side closest to the gas chamber to a side away from the gas chamber. The members are in sliding contact with an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder.
