Abstract
A device for damping movement, in particular, of a movable furniture part, having a bearing housing, is proposed. According to the invention, a movement absorber is mounted so as to be movable on the bearing housing and a rotary element is mounted so as to be rotatable, comprising gearbox means by way of which a movement of the movement absorber is convertible to a rotary movement of the rotary element, wherein the bearing housing has a chamber into which at least a plunger portion of the rotary element reaches, wherein a damping fluid is present in the chamber.
