  • Publication number: 20240149970
    Abstract: A vibration damper with amplitude-dependent damping, with a cylindrical compensation space attached fluidically, in parallel to the vibration damper and is split by way of a displaceable separating piston, the vibration damper comprising a working piston, the working piston being received displaceably in a damper tube, the working piston dividing the damper tube into a first damping space and a second damping space, the separating piston being received axially displaceably in the compensation space, the separating piston dividing the compensation space into a first part space and a second part space, the first part space being connected fluidically to the first damping space, the second part space being connected fluidically to the damping space, the vibration damper being equipped with a throttle device for influencing the fluid flow between the first part space and the first damping space and/or between the second part space and the second damping space.

  • Publication number: 20240077125
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vibration damper with adjustable damping force, comprising an inner cylinder with at least one working chamber which exhibits a flow connection to a damping-valve device, wherein the damper-valve device is arranged outside of an outer cylinder, wherein the flow connection has been realized in a component that is separate from the inner cylinder, wherein the separate component is constituted by a pressure-stage adapter which constitutes a part of the working chamber and which exhibits a coupling to the damping-valve device, wherein a base piece is arranged at the end of the inner cylinder, wherein the pressure-stage adapter and the base piece have been combined to form a pressure-stage adapter device.

  • Patent number: 9683624
    Abstract: A closure package for closing a damper tube of a vibration damper includes a main body configured to be sealingly disposed the damper tube and through which a piston rod of the vibration damper can be sealingly guided. The main body has an opening into which a guide bushing for guiding the piston rod is inserted. At least one sealing unit is disposed in the main body and configured to seal against the piston rod. The guide bushing has a circumferential collar extending radially outwards at one end face that abuts against the sealing unit.

  • Patent number: 9669674
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension strut for a motor vehicle with a vibration damper, with a supporting spring and with a height-adjustment device, with which the height of the vehicle body of the motor vehicle can be changed, and wherein the suspension strut has an auxiliary spring having a lower spring characteristic than the supporting spring, by means of which auxiliary spring a residual prestress can be produced in the supporting spring when the vibration damper is extended, and wherein the auxiliary spring is integrated in the height-adjustment device.

  • Publication number: 20140262651
    Abstract: A shock absorber for a vehicle contains a shock absorber tube in which at least one shock absorber piston is guided in a sliding manner. The shock absorber tube is made of a carbon fiber composite material and has a coating made of an epoxide on the inside of the shock absorber tube, which coating forms the sliding partner for the shock absorber piston guided in the shock absorber tube. A method is explained for producing the shock absorber tube for the shock absorber and to the use of a tube made of a carbon fiber composite material having an epoxide coating to form a shock absorber tube for a shock absorber.
