Abstract
The invention relates to a damper with a damper cylinder, in which a piston ram is guided via a piston rod. The flow rate of a damper fluid is adjustable for setting damper characteristic values. According to the invention, a control mechanism is arranged inside the damper cylinder, which has two independent control loops for a rebound stage period and a compression stage period. The control mechanism controls the flow rate of the damper fluid in a first flow direction with a first adjustment element during the compression stage period, and controls the flow rate of the damper fluid in a second flow direction with a second adjustment element during the rebound stage period.

A damper comprising:
- a damper cylinder in which a piston ram is guided via a piston rod, a flow rate of a damper fluid being controllable for adjusting characteristic damper values;
- control means 40 disposed inside the damper cylinder, which have two independent control loops for a rebound stage period and one compression stage period;
- first adjustment means of the control means for controlling the flow rate of the damper fluid in a first flow direction during the compression stage period;
- second adjustment means of the control means for controlling the flow rate of the damper fluid in a second flow direction during the rebound stage period.
