Twin Tube Damper
Twin-tube dampers require lower gas pressure levels as monotube-dampaers; 6-8 bar are enough to ensure precision damping as well as low noise levels even at high compressione speeds.
Function & Benefit
When the piston rod moves in (compression), part of the oil flows from the lower working chamber through the piston valve into the upper working chamber. A quantity of oil corresponding to the volume of the piston rod is pushed through the base valve into the equalization chamber. When the piston rod retracts (rebound), the piston valve takes over the damping function, while a quantity of oil equal to the volume of the retracting piston rod flows back through the base valve.
