Hi!
The damping force will increase in relation to the piston speed in a quite
linear curve as long as the fluid is laminar but when the piston reach the
high speed area the fluid gets turbulent and create what we call pack.
Hope thats what you were asking for?
This thread do hide somewere here on Oople with the pics and all but dont know were so i will attache them again.
With the Dyno machine i can measure damping force with different speed and stroke.
I have to make some of you disappointed with this info:
I dont see any differens in damping forces wether the piston is moving in or out
The only difference i can measure is that the taper pistons is more linear.
I have my idea Why but hey..I need to have some secrets to my self
What happens in the car is much more complex than i ever is capable to measure so there might be some other effect to.
In the diagram you can see the most straigt curve as the taper piston compared to more progressive pistons.
Lets see who will crack this nut first
