Abstract
An apparatus for controlling relative movement between two interconnected bodies includes a first end cap, a second end cap having an opening, a sleeve interconnecting the end caps to define a chamber between the sleeve and the end caps, a piston assembly including a piston rod extending through the opening of the second end cap, a piston connected to the piston rod, received in the chamber to define at least two fluid chambers on opposed sides of the piston, and a plurality of rollers carried by the piston for rolling engagement with the sleeve. A fluid flow path provides communication between the fluid chambers and provides a restricted fluid flow rate therethrough to control the rate of fluid transfer between the fluid chambers and permit fluid pressure to increase in a chamber into which the piston is being moved to provide a force on the piston opposing its movement.
