Compression Dampers provide controlled speed while the rod is being compressed into the outer body. Parts are completely black in appearance, and protection is provided with Nitride finish. End fittings are not installed on dampers, so be sure to select an appropriate end fitting for your application. For technical definitions, see our FAQ. If you have an OEM or aftermarket application which requires a different size, finish, configuration, or complete sub-assembly please contact our engineered solution services.
