  • SELECTIVELY FIXED DAMPER
    Publication number: 20140353098
    Abstract: An example method for operating a lockable damper includes moving a valve assembly together with a piston assembly between a retracted position and an extended position relative to a tube, the moving unassisted by the lockable damper. The method includes communicating a flow of hydraulic fluid through the valve assembly to damp the moving, and restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through the valve assembly to limit the moving.
