Damping system for a shock absorber having a one-way check valve

A damping system having a shock absorber including at least one cylinder that is at least partly filled with a pressure fluid and is disposable between two masses of a vehicle, the spacing between which is variable, a damper piston connected to a piston rod, said damper piston divides a first work chamber, penetrated by the piston rod, from a second work chamber in said at least one cylinder, a second connecting conduit, a check valve which monitors said second connecting conduit to enable a flow of pressure fluid out of the second work chamber into the first work chamber;

• a first connecting conduit, said first connecting conduit is monitored by a second check valve to enable a pressure fluid flow out of a compensation chamber into the second work chamber, and a third connecting conduit which connects said first work chamber with said compensation chamber, said third connecting conduit is monitored by a throttle restriction which restricts a fluid flow of a flow of pressure fluid out of the first work chamber into the compensation chamber, and a pressure source connected to said compensation chamber (30) for varying pressure within said compensation chamber.
