  • Process and device for the damping of motion between two cylindrical parts sliding with one another in translation and friction
    Patent number: 7131786
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process and a device for the damping of motion between two cylindrical parts sliding with one another in translation and friction. According to this invention, the damping is performed by the application of a force exerted radially perpendicularly to the translation motion of the two parts by at least one elastic segment (13) circling one of the parts (11) and inside the other (12), integral in translation with one of the parts (11) and appplying said frictional force on the other part (12). This invention is applicable to the absorption of shocks as well as to that of vibrations.
