Abstract
In a piston valve assembly for a shock absorber, a main piston partitions a cylinder into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. Compression passages and rebound passages penetrate the main piston in a vertical direction. A first compression value forms a first compression chamber, and a top surface of a lower retainer is opened toward the upper chamber. Bypass passages are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the piston rod. A guide assembly surrounds an outer peripheral surface of the compression valve and the bottom surface of the compression valve, tightly contacts the bottom surface of the compression valve in a high-frequency section, and moves down toward the lower retainer in a low-frequency section. A lower disk assembly forms a second compression chamber in the lower retainer while covering the opened top surface of the lower retainer, communicates the second compression chamber with the lower chamber in the high-frequency section, and blocks the communication between the second compression chamber and the lower chamber in the low-frequency section due to the downward movement of the guide assembly.
