  • Publication number: 20140290002
    Abstract: A damping device for furniture doors includes a damping cylinder longitudinally displaceably mounted in a recess of a damper housing including a cylinder housing and a piston rod and forming a stop for the furniture door. The cylinder housing is longitudinally displaceably mounted in the recess of the damper housing, the recess being formed as a hole, the end thereof protruding out of the damper housing forming a stop for the furniture door. The adjusting screw forms an axial counterbearing for the piston rod. The inner diameter of an internal thread receiving the adjusting screw is at least equal to the inner diameter of the hole receiving the cylinder housing. The end of the piston rod is received in a centric hole of the adjusting screw.
