Position-sensitive shock absorber

摘要

A position-sensitive shock absorbing device (10) with a single cast body construction is provided. The device has a tubular member (20), a moveable piston (60) within the tubular member, a first hydraulic fluid chamber (30) defined by an interior volume of the tubular member, a bypass member (70) attached to an outside area of the tubular member. The bypass member surrounds a portion of the tubular member and a second hydraulic fluid chamber (110) is defined by a volume between the tubular member and the bypass member. A first and a second opening (90,100) in a side of the tubular member are arranged such that the openings are fluidly connected with each other and with both the first and second hydraulic fluid chamber. <IMAGE>
