Push-pull damper

PUSH & PULL BUFFER This design by LEBENDämpfungstechnik GmbH acts as a hydraulic shock absorber in both, pulling and pushing direction. The energy dissipation of this kind of industrial shock absorber is performed in two ways Working principle As a purely hydraulic variant (TwinStroke®) – in push (compression) direction hydraulically reversible by means of damping medium – in pull (tension) direction hydraulically reversible by means of damping medium The TwinStroke® dampens push and pull forces without an additional functional element. A piston system transmits the push and pull forces gashydraulically to different gas and oil chambers. In this way, any load can be absorbed immediately without idle stroke, socalled “slack”, and with minimal wear. The TwinStroke® can absorb changing loads very well. The smaller size and lower weight is advantageous, as only one element is needed to absorb compression and tension forces.
