A hydraulic rebound stop assembly for a hydraulic damper is provided. The rebound stop assembly includes a movable rod, a retention feature fixed to the movable rod, and a ring circumscribing and slidingly engaging the movable rod. The ring axially extends between a first end surface and an axially spaced apart second end surface. The ring includes an outer wall and an inner wall defining a cavity. The retention feature is at least partially received in the cavity. The ring is axially movable between a first position and a second position. A dimension of the cavity is greater than a dimension of axial travel of the ring between the first position and the second position. In the first position, the retention feature constrains axial movement of the ring in a first direction.
A hydraulic fluid tank assembly for use with a suspension system for a vehicle is provided. The hydraulic fluid tank assembly includes a tank having a chamber configured to contain a volume of hydraulic fluid and a volume of gas, and a breather cap assembly. The breather cap assembly includes a breather cap having a passageway and a recess, a filter having one or more openings configured to permit gas to pass therethrough, and a splash guard coupled to the breather cap, the splash guard retaining the filter in the recess of the breather cap, and the splash guard having a distal opening. The passageway of the breather cap, the openings of the filter, and the distal opening of the splash guard are fluidly connected and configured to permit gas to pass therethrough to and from the chamber of the tank and the atmosphere.
The present disclosure relates to a comfort valve arrangement for external arrangement to a damper incorporating an intake valve assembly, the comfort valve arrangement comprising: a valve housing adapted in size and shape to provide a valve housing chamber, wherein the comfort valve arrangement is adapted to connect the valve housing chamber to a first intermediate chamber of the intake valve assembly via a first port, and to connect the valve housing chamber to a second intermediate chamber of the intake valve assembly via a second port, the comfort valve arrangement further comprising: a first pressure dependent valve adapted to regulate a damping fluid flow between the first intermediate chamber and the valve housing chamber; a second pressure dependent valve adapted to regulate a damping fluid flow between the second intermediate chamber and the valve housing chamber, the comfort valve arrangement adapted to be controllable between a regulating mode and a disconnected mode. The present disclosure also relates to a damper incorporating the comfort valve arrangement, a hydraulic system, and a method of controlling damping fluid flow by means of the comfort valve arrangement.
