Features hydraulic dampers

Type 80: This damper has a piston diameter of 80 mm and

therefore a higher hydraulic stiffness (more efficient)

compared to convential dampers.
Triple sealing
The dampers have a pistonrod of 40 mm to meet the
requirements of long life with high side loads.
All dampers have Teflon bands around the piston and in the
guide, thus giving the damper a longer lifetime.
All dampers have an induction hardened pistonrod which will
give a long lifetime to the dampers.
The dampers can be reconditioned.
The dampers have equal forces in compression and
rebound.

New seal solutions:
New bearing
Dellner Dampers has decided to replace the SKF bushing with a
bushing that is made of phenolic fabric which is more suited for
high side loads. This type of bushing is in our yaw dampers
where the forces are higher.
The softer material distributes the side load and reduces
therefore any peak forces on the surface of the rod. A life cycle
test with the vertical damper is just completed of 10 million cycles
with very good results.

New seal solutions:
New scraper
Enhanced seal version. The traditional scraper is replaced by
combination seal and scraper. The purpose of this new scraper
is, without any extra cost, to work as an extra safety seal.
