ANTI-CAVITATION PISTON FOR SHOCK ABSORBER
ANTI-CAVITATION PISTON FOR SHOCK ABSORBER
An anti-cavitation piston for use with shock absorbers is provided. The anti-cavitation piston enables improved damping performance and pressure balance. An embodiment of the anti-cavitation piston includes a two part main piston having a first piston member coupled to a second piston member and additional ports and valving to control damping and reduce or inhibit cavitation during compression and rebound strokes of the shock absorber. Another embodiment of the anti-cavitation piston includes a twin piston device having a first piston and a second piston and additional boost valves, other valving and electronic valving and ports to control damping and reduce or inhibit cavitation during compression and rebound strokes of the shock absorber.
