  • Patent number: 11773941
    Abstract: A hydraulic vibration damper may include inner and outer tubes filled with damping liquid, a piston rod projecting axially out of the inner tube and movable in rebound and compression directions, a sealing and guide pack that sealingly closes an end of the outer tube and guides piston rod movement, a working piston for producing damping forces that is fastened to the piston rod and is guided on an inner lateral surface of the inner tube and subdivides the interior of the inner tube into a piston rod-side and piston rod-remote working spaces. The vibration damper has rebound and compression stops. In the piston rod-remote working space, a compression stop, starting from a predetermined retraction travel of the piston rod, may produce a travel- and speed-dependent compression stop force.

  • Patent number: 9604518
    Abstract: A suspension strut for a vehicle has an air spring unit and a damper unit. The damper unit has a damper tube, which extends into a rolling tube of the air spring unit. The damper tube has supporting geometries distributed over its circumference, against which supporting geometries a radially expanded end of the rolling tube is supported. In order to support the rolling tube on the supporting geometries of the damper tube, a torsion element is provided. The torsion element is arranged between the radially expanded end of the rolling tube and the supporting geometries of the damper tube. The torsion element forms a form fit with the supporting geometries for the purpose of torque transmission.
