Abstract
Valve for a vibration damper having a valve housing and a valve slide movable in the valve housing to at least partially close at least one flow path of a fluid flowing through the valve. The valve has an input side and an output side. Pressure impingement surfaces of the valve slide are substantially equal for an opening pressure and for a closing pressure, and the valve slide has a restriction through which a pressure difference between opening pressure and closing pressure can be generated.
Claims17
A valve for a vibration damper comprising:
- a valve housing;
- an input side of the valve;
- an output side of the valve;
- a valve slide arranged movably in the valve housing and configured to at least partially close at least one flow path of a fluid flowing through the valve;
- respective pressure impingement surfaces of the valve slide for an opening pressure and for a closing pressure that are substantially equal, and
- a restriction of the valve slide through which a pressure difference between opening pressure and closing pressure can be generated.
A vibration damper for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a valve comprising:
- a valve housing;
- an input side of the valve;
- an output side of the valve;
- a valve slide arranged movably in the valve housing and configured to at least partially close at least one flow path of a fluid flowing through the valve;
- respective pressure impingement surfaces of the valve slide for an opening pressure and for a closing pressure that are substantially equal, and
- a restriction of the valve slide through which a pressure difference between opening pressure and closing pressure can be generated.
A motor vehicle comprising a vibration damper comprising:
- a valve comprising:
- a valve housing;
- an input side of the valve;
- an output side of the valve;
- a valve slide arranged movably in the valve housing and configured to at least partially close at least one flow path of a fluid flowing through the valve;
- respective pressure impingement surfaces of the valve slide for an opening pressure and for a closing pressure that are substantially equal, and
- a restriction of the valve slide through which a pressure difference between opening pressure and closing pressure can be generated.
