A damper assembly () is configured to dampen motion between a first component and a second component. The damper assembly () includes a housing () having at least one housing rotation-limiting protuberance (). A rotor () is rotatably coupled to the housing (). The rotor () includes at least one rotor rotation-limiting protuberance (). The housing rotation-limiting protuberance(s) () and the rotor rotation-limiting protuberance(s) () cooperate to limit a range of rotation of the rotor () relative to the housing ().
