The piston body is connected to the piston rod and is configured to reciprocate within the cylinder between a compression chamber and a rebound chamber. The valve is provided by the piston body having a fluid flow port, a valve seat, a circumferential valving element, and a spring configured to urge the valve body into the valve seat. A primary damping valve and an auxiliary damping valve are also provided.
Claims1
A hydraulic control valve, comprising:
- a housing supporting a first circumferential valve seat and a second circumferential valve seat, both valve seats provided between an upstream chamber and a downstream chamber to regulate fluid flow:
- a first circumferential valve body comprising at least a frustoconical segment carried in sprung relation urged against the first valve seat;
- and
- a second circumferential valve body comprising at least a frustoconical segment carried in sprung relation urged against the second valve seat;
- wherein the first circumferential valve body is movable under fluidic pressure away from the first circumferential valve seat to provide a first fluid flow aperture, and the second circumferential valve body is movable under fluidic pressure away from the second circumferential valve seat to provide a second fluid flow aperture.
