Abstract: A suspension system damper includes a hydraulic rebound cut-off feature without unduly limiting active travel. A spring separates a rebound cut-off piston from the rod guide. The rebound cut-off piston has an oversized center hole. The outer periphery of the rebound cut-off piston is sized for a close slip-fit within the tube with a number of small slots acting as restrictive and tunable flow control features when the system enters a cut-off mode. When the top of the damping piston assembly comes into contact with the rebound cut-off piston, the cut-off mode is entered. Hydraulic flow is cut-off by blocking fluid flow through the center hole. This generates hydraulic loads on the piston rod by virtue of the high pressure generated between the rebound cut-off piston and the rod guide. Fluid is restricted to exiting the rebound cut-off region via the small slots in the outer periphery of the damping piston assembly.
