Oil flow during closed compression stage in the base valve
Spring- loaded bypass valve of the compression damping in a closed state before the compression stage is activated.
Position of the bypass valve with increasing piston rod velocity
- During slow piston rod velocity (black arrows), the oil flows over the bypass valve
- the maximum compression damping (white arrows) is carried out via the spring-loaded piston valve
- the closed compression stage creates a progressive characteristic line of compression damping
Result:
A sporty and tense adjustment of the compression stage prevents the vehicle from rolling in curves.
Oil flow during opened compression stage in the base valve
Spring-loaded bypass valve of the compression damping in an opened state before the compression stage is activated
Position of the bypass valve with increasing piston rod velocity
- During slow piston rod velocities (black arrows), the oil flows over the bypass valve
- The maximum compression damping (white arrows) is carried out by the spring-loaded piston valve
- By the opened bypass valve, a declining characteristic line of the compression damping in the low-speed range is achieved
Result:
The (safety-relevant) support of the vehicle in the high-speed range of the damping is not influenced during an opened or closed compression stage and is therefore always ensured |
