Abstract
Disclosed are a combination type damper and a washing machine having the same. The combination type damper comprises: a cylinder provided with a receiving space having a certain depth at one side thereof; a rod relative-movably inserted into the receiving space of the cylinder; and a composite damping means for generating a damping force by an electromagnetic force when a displacement of a relative movement of the cylinder and the rod is less than a preset length, and for generating a frictional damping force when the displacement of the relative movement is more than the preset length. Transient state vibration and steady state vibration generated from a tub assembly during the entire processes for washing laundry are prevented from being transmitted to a cabinet, thereby minimizing vibration noise towards outside while using the washing machine.
