<p>A shock absorber fluid flow control assembly, comprising: a piston (12) having a first face (C) and an opposed second face (D); a pair of fluid passage sets formed through the piston (12), a first one of the fluid passage sets isolable at the first face (C) and a second one of the fluid passage sets isolable at the second face (D); a plurality of passages (30, 42, 43) in each fluid passage set each having a passage flow area selected from a different one of a plurality of passage flow areas; and a pair of blow-off discs each operably sealing one of the fluid passage sets, including a first blow-off disc in displaceable contact with the first face (C) and a second blow-off disc in displaceable contact with the second face (D); wherein a fluid pressure acting on one of the first face (C) and the second face (D) operably acts through one of the fluid passage sets to initially angularly displace and subsequently to fully open one of the pair of blow-off discs.</p> |
