Abstract: A hydraulic damper of the monotube type in which the floating piston includes a first valve allowing fluid flow from the compression chamber to the compensation chamber when fluid pressure in the compression chamber exceeds that in the compensation chamber by a predetermined amount, and a second valve allowing fluid flow from the compensation chamber to the compression chamber when fluid pressure in the compensation chamber exceeds that in the compression chamber by a predetermined amount. Provides improved high speed damping.
