A displacement sensor modulefor mounting on a telescopic-type damper, a damper/detector assembly including such a displacement sensor module and a telescopic-type damper, and a household appliance including such a damper/detector assembly is provided. The displacement sensor moduleincludes at least one coil element, an electronic detection unitconnected to the at least one coil elementand adapted to detect an impedance change of the at least one coil element, and a coil housingfor receiving and additionally or alternatively a coil supportfor supporting the at least one coil elementand for supporting the electronic detection unit. The displacement sensor moduleis adapted to be mounted on a telescopic-type damper, wherein in particular the housingor supportis adapted to fit over a portion of a pre-assembled damper

Damper with displacement sensor for laundry appliance

Damper, in particular for washing machines with a spin cycle, with a housing having a central longitudinal axis and at least partially encompassing a housing interior by housing walls, a plunger displaceable in the housing along the central longitudinal axis, guided out of the housing and having at least one friction lining recess, fastening elements, arranged on open ends of the housing and the plunger, and at least one friction lining, arranged in the at least one friction lining recess and in frictional contact with opposite housing walls.

Damper

In a damper for spin-drying washing machines, it is provided, with a view to amplitude-dependent damping behaviour being obtained accompanied with manufacture at a low cost, that a frictional damping unit, which is disposed inside a casing, comprises an at least sectionally bare and elastic frictional damping lining for producing a given frictional damping effect, and at least one stop element which is stationary in relation to the casing and turned towards the at least one frictional damping lining, with the at least one stop element being designed for direct cooperation with the at least one frictional damping lining.

In a damper, in particular for spin-drying washing machines, it is provided, with a view to improved solidity and noise behaviour of the damper, that at least one buffer stop is disposed between at least one piston and at least one stop element, the buffer stop comprising at least one flexibly pliable buffer stop element which is integral with the at least one piston or the at least one stop element.

In a damper, in particular for spin-drying cylinder washing machines, it is provided, with a view to obtaining low-noise and low-wear guidance of a tappet in a casing, that the damper comprises a guiding damping unit which damps any deflections of the tappet in the radial direction and centers the tappet in the casing.
