Improvements in dampers
A piston and cylinder type damper is provided. The damper has a cylinder 11 having a piston assembly 15 mounted for reciprocal movement therein. The piston assembly 15 divides the cylinder 11 into two separate chambers 12a, 12b, with a restricted flow path 30, 31 for passage therebetween of damping fluid contained within the cylinder 11. A piston rod 13 is mounted for reciprocal movement with respect to the cylinder (11) and acts via a first one of the chambers 12a on the piston assembly 15 in a first direction. A seal assembly 17 is provided for sealing between the piston rod 13 and the cylinder 11 in order to retain damping fluid in the first chamber 12a. The seal assembly 17 is movable axially with respect to the cylinder 11, with the cylinder further including a centering device 24 for assisting alignment of the seal assembly 17.
