All 'conventional' dampers contain oil and gas, be it in emulsion, seperated by a floating piston, in a bag or just 'free'. It's what allows the piston rod to enter the damper body, reducing the internal volume - fluids are essentially incompressible, so if you didn't have the gas element to compress, the rod wouldn't move at all. |
