Principle of function

  • In a sealed housing there is a piston which is moving back- and forward. By means of the pressure-difference which results within the closing-movement the sealing-lip will be pressed against the breaking-collar. This breaking-collar expand and presses the cylinder in which it moves. Thus the friction-energy is generated.
  • No oil-leakage possible
  • Friction force is reated to the pressure

Damper with and whitout reset-function

Damper without reset-function needs a coupler onto the pistonrod is needed to be used within the fitting. The pistonrod do not extract by itself, it has to be extracted manually

Damper with a integrated reset-function a Coupler is not needed onto the pistonrod within the fitting. The pistonrod will be extracted automatically


without reset- function


with integrated reset- function
