Abstract
A damper assembly includes a pressure tube defining a first chamber and a piston movable within the first chamber. The damper assembly includes a reserve tube defining a second chamber. The damper assembly includes a cylinder end attached to the pressure tube, the cylinder end defining a passage in fluid communication with the first chamber and the second chamber. The damper assembly includes an orifice disc attached to the cylinder end and defining an opening in fluid communication with the passage. The damper assembly includes a check disc attached to the cylinder end, the check disc movable from a first position spaced from orifice disc to a second position abutting the orifice disc. Movement of the piston within the first chamber causes fluid flow between the first chamber and the second chamber via the passage of the cylinder end. The check disc and the orifice disc limit a rate of such fluid flow.
