  • Publication number: 20260200281
    Abstract: In a damping system for a motor vehicle including a working cylinder at least partially filled with hydraulic fluid and a pressure adjustment arrangement containing a pump, a hydraulic accumulator, a first valve and a second valve, each of which is connected via hydraulic lines to the first and second working chambers and wherein the valve position of the valves is adjustable, in particular continuously, a method for adjusting a damping force of the damping system includes the valve position of the valves and/or the volumetric flow rate and/or the speed of the pump being controlled/regulated depending on a predetermined force setpoint acting on the piston rod.

  • Patent number: 11002333
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibration damper (1) comprising a damper tube (2) which is at least partially filled with damping fluid and in which a piston rod (3) is movable back and forth, wherein a working piston (4) is movable jointly with the piston rod (3), by means of which working piston the interior space of the damper tube is divided into a piston-rod-side working space (5) and a piston-rod-remote working space (6), a damping module (7) for the frequency-dependent control of a comfort bypass which is formed between the piston-rod-side working space (5) and the piston-rod-remote working space (6) and which comprises a comfort path via which damping fluid can be caused to flow hydraulically in parallel with respect to the flow through the working piston (4), a control piston (8) which is received, such that it can perform stroke movements, in the damping module (7) and which, remote from the piston rod, delimits a pressure chamber (9) arranged in the damping module (7), wherein the pressure ch

  • Patent number: 10883560
    Abstract: A damper tube which is at least partially filled with damping fluid and in which a piston rod is movable back and forth, wherein a working piston is movable jointly with the piston rod, by means of which working piston the interior space of the damper tube is divided into a piston-rod-side working space and a piston-rod-remote working space. A damping module for the frequency-dependent control of a comfort bypass is formed between the piston-rod-side working space and the piston-rod-remote working space and which comprises a comfort path via which damping fluid can be caused to flow hydraulically in parallel with respect to the flow through the working piston.

  • Patent number: 7721856
    Abstract: A vibration damper having a sensitive response behavior at very low amplitudes comprises a separating piston being disposed inside a bypass so as to move axially freely. The separating piston divides the bypass into two chambers mutually sealed from one another. Two valves are disposed in the bypass. The first valve acts in a compression stage as a pressure limiting valve and as a non return valve in an extension stage. The second valve acts as a pressure limiting valve in the extension stage and as a non return valve in the compression stage.

  • Publication number: 20070125610
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration damper having an amplitude-selective damping device, comprising a damper tube (1) which is filled with damping fluid and in which a piston rod (2) is disposed in such a manner as to be able to move in a reciprocating manner, said piston rod supporting a damping piston (5) which divides the inner space of the damper tube (1) into a piston rod-side working chamber (3) and a working chamber (4) remote from the piston rod, a space (6) to receive damping fluid, which space is disposed inside a bypass provided between the working chambers (3, 4) and hydraulically in parallel with the damping piston (5) and in which an axially moveable separating piston (7) is disposed which divides the space (6) into a piston rod-side chamber (8) and a chamber (9) remote from the piston rod, wherein the bypass comprises at least a first hydraulic connection channel (10), via which the piston rod-side working chamber (3) is connected to the piston rod-side chamber (8), and at least a second
