  • Publication number: 20150276002
    Abstract: A damping valve arrangement for a vibration damper has a main valve body, a first auxiliary valve body and a second auxiliary valve body with at least two through-flow channels connected hydraulically in parallel for a flow direction of a damping medium. Outlet cross sections of the at least two through-flow channels are influenced by at least one valve disk. The valve bodies are axially fastened to a shared support that extends through the valve bodies and at least one through-flow channel is formed at the support. A first auxiliary valve including the first auxiliary valve body and at least a first valve disk and a second auxiliary valve including the second auxiliary valve body and a, separate valve disk connected through a shared through-flow channel and are hydraulically connected in series such that the amount of damping medium flowing through the second auxiliary valve is limited by the first auxiliary valve.

  • Patent number: 6581734
    Abstract: Damping valve comprising a damping valve body with at least one flow-through channel, the outlet of which is covered at least by an elastic valve disk, which is pretensioned against the damping valve body at least indirectly by a spring, where at least one support disk of smaller diameter is provided on the elastic valve disk, facing the spring, this support disk not executing any elastic movement, the spring exerting its force in the area radially outside the support disk.

  • Patent number: 6401755
    Abstract: A damping valve comprising a one-piece damping-valve body with axial through-passages for each direction of flow, at least one side of the damping-valve body having arranged on it at least one valve disk that at least partially covers an outlet opening of a through-passage, the damping-valve body having a radial inflow opening to the through-passages. The outlet openings of the through-passages for a first direction of flow on one side of the damping-valve body have a trapezoidal cross section, and the outlet openings of the through-passages for a second direction of flow on the other side of the damping-valve body open into a common encircling annular channel. The through-passages with outlet openings with the trapezoidal cross section are arranged on a larger pitch circle than the through-passages that open into the annular channel.
