Patent attributes
A regulable vibration damper may comprise a cylinder barrel that contains hydraulic fluid in a sealed manner, a piston that can be moved axially within the cylinder barrel along a cylinder barrel axis and that subdivides the cylinder barrel into two working chambers, a piston rod that is oriented parallel to the cylinder barrel axis and is connected to the piston, a valve assembly arranged at a fluid feed through to damp piston movement in an actuating direction, and a bypass duct between the two working chambers. The bypass duct may comprise a first throughflow cross section for a first throughflow direction, wherein the first throughflow cross section differs from a second throughflow cross section for a second throughflow direction. Further, the bypass duct may be formed, at least in part, by an outflow passage that is arranged on an exit side of a pilot valve for adjusting pilot pressure.
