A damper arrangement for a rail vehicle, in particular, a light rail vehicle, comprising - a damper unit, wherein - said damper unit comprises a piston unit (106.1) and a cylinder unit (106.2) defining an axial direction and a radial direction; - said cylinder unit (106.2) comprises a sealingly closed working chamber (106.3) filled with a damping fluid and axially slidably receiving a piston element of said piston unit (106.1); - said piston element separates said working chamber (106.3) in a first space (106.5) and a second space (106.6); - said piston unit (106.1) has a first interface part (106.7) forming a first interface of said damper unit to a first vehicle component (102.1) of said rail vehicle and facing away from said cylinder unit (106.2); - said cylinder unit (106.2) has a second interface part (106.8) forming a second interface of said damper unit to a second vehicle component (102.1) of said rail vehicle and facing away from said piston unit (106.1); characterized in that - a damper support unit supports said damper unit, - said damper unit is configured to provide a damping force damping a relative motion between a third vehicle component (103.4) connected to said damper support unit and at least one of said first vehicle component (102.1) and said second vehicle component (102.1) along said axial direction; - said damper support unit restricts motion of said piston unit (106.1) with respect to said damper support unit in a first direction along said axial direction while allowing motion of said piston unit (106.1) in an opposite second direction along said axial direction; - said damper support unit restricts motion of said cylinder unit (106.2) with respect to said damper support unit in said second direction while allowing motion of said cylinder unit (106.2) in said first direction; - said piston element (106.4) defines a radial gap with respect to said cylinder unit (106.2) in said radial direction, said radial gap restricting flow of said damping medium between said first space (106.5) and said second space (106.6) in order to provide a defined dynamic characteristic of said damping force which is dependent on a speed of a relative motion between of said piston element (106.4) and said cylinder unit (106.2) along said axial direction. - a damper unit, wherein - said damper unit comprises a piston unit (106.1) and a cylinder unit (106.2) defining an axial direction and a radial direction; - said cylinder unit (106.2) comprises a sealingly closed working chamber (106.3) filled with a damping fluid and axially slidably receiving a piston element of said piston unit (106.1); - said piston element separates said working chamber (106.3) in a first space (106.5) and a second space (106.6); - said piston unit (106.1) has a first interface part (106.7) forming a first interface of said damper unit to a first vehicle component (102.1) of said rail vehicle and facing away from said cylinder unit (106.2); - said cylinder unit (106.2) has a second interface part (106.8) forming a second interface of said damper unit to a second vehicle component (102.1) of said rail vehicle and facing away from said piston unit (106.1); characterized in that - a damper support unit supports said damper unit, - said damper unit is configured to provide a damping force damping a relative motion between a third vehicle component (103.4) connected to said damper support unit and at least one of said first vehicle component (102.1) and said second vehicle component (102.1) along said axial direction; - said damper support unit restricts motion of said piston unit (106.1) with respect to said damper support unit in a first direction along said axial direction while allowing motion of said piston unit (106.1) in an opposite second direction along said axial direction; - said damper support unit restricts motion of said cylinder unit (106.2) with respect to said damper support unit in said second direction while allowing motion of said cylinder unit (106.2) in said first direction; - said piston element (106.4) defines a radial gap with respect to said cylinder unit (106.2) in said radial direction, said radial gap restricting flow of said damping medium between said first space (106.5) and said second space (106.6) in order to provide a defined dynamic characteristic of said damping force which is dependent on a speed of a relative motion between of said piston element (106.4) and said cylinder unit (106.2) along said axial direction.
