Abstract
A vibration damper includes a housing and a piston rod construct and arranged to reciprocate along an axis and with respect to the housing. The housing defines first and second ports. A chamber is defined by the housing and the piston rod and is in fluid communication between the first and second ports. A translating isolator of the damper is located in the chamber and is in sealing contact with the piston rod and the housing. The isolator translates in a first direction toward the first port when the piston rod moves in the first direction and translates in an opposite second direction toward the second port when the piston rod moves in the second direction.
