More Information
Summary:A piston-cylinder unit for a mono-tube damper, includes: a cylinder having an inner wall and a closure fixed axially with respect to the cylinder by positive engagement with one or more impressions of the inner wall, the closure having a plug sealed with respect to the inner wall, the plug having a reinforced portion and being axially moveable with respect to the cylinder when a temperature threshold is exceeded. Axial movement caused by the temperature threshold being exceeded causes deformation of the plug with respect to the cylinder so as to: (i) form a channel between the plug and the inner wall of the cylinder, through which pressure, caused by the increased temperature, can escape the piston-cylinder unit, and (ii) permit axial movement of the closure only to a point at which the reinforced portion of the plug comes into contact with the one or more impressions in the cylinder.
