Design Examples
The constructional design of telescopic dampers are not only different from one manufacturer to another, but in addition also vary based on the targeted field of application.
The figure shows a telescopic damper designed according to the principle developed by De Carbon in the 40s where a dividing piston separates the gas volume from the oil in order to prevent the foaming of oil.
This dividing piston allows for any arbitrary constructional length, but does not influence the function of the damper. The foaming of oil and gas can also be prevented by other measures. An impact disk for example reduces the foaming of oil and gas, by deviating and decelerating the high speed oil jets escaping from the piston valves and rushing towards the cylinder wall.
