  • Patent number: 12736103
    Abstract: An end-stop control valve can progressively add end-of-stroke damping resistance to complement the damping force provided by a main piston in a damper tube. The end-stop control valve may include a piston that selectively engages with a catch piston, both of which are longitudinally movable within the damper tube. To reduce bypass around the piston, a piston band wrapped at least partially around the piston may engage with a sidewall of the catch piston just prior to engagement of the catch piston and the piston, although at least some hydraulic fluid can flow through a pathway of the piston band. A spring disc that moves with the piston may also engage with the catch piston just prior to engagement between the catch piston and the piston. The spring disc may elastically deform to contribute end-of-stroke resistance leading up to engagement of the piston and the catch piston.
