For a device for the amplitude-dependent absorption of shocks, especially of the wheel of a vehicle, with at least one working piston (), which is disposed within an absorbing housing () and connected with a piston rod () and divides the absorbing housing () into two absorbing spaces () and interacts with a hydraulic element, which is disposed in parallel for affecting small amplitudes and has a space () with a dividing element, the space () being tied in with hydraulic tie-ins with the absorbing spaces (), the greatest possible absence of wear and a soft response of the working piston are to be achieved. For this purpose, it is proposed that the dividing element consists of a foamed, elastic material.

Shock absorber with amplitude damping

To make a sealing and guiding packet available to shock dampers in order to minimize or even entirely prevent the negative effects of the so-called stick-slip effect and thus permit greater riding comfort, a sealing and guiding packet is proposed which comprises the following features:
