Abstract:
Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to through-shaft dampers. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the through-shaft dampers generally include a shaft having a piston traveling within a body, a first chamber for a damping fluid, and a second chamber for a gas. The chambers are separated by a movable wall associated with an insert and configured to provide a volumetric change of the second chamber that is inverse to a volumetric change of the damping fluid. The insert is configured such that the sealing surfaces of the movable wall do not interface the shaft during use of the damper. In this regard, a significant reduction in the total displacement traveled by the seals is realized.

Claim (Index 9):
The through-shaft damper of  claim 8 , wherein the movable wall is a piston slidingly associated with the insert, the piston configured to travel axially within the bore and prevent ingress of the damping fluid to the second chamber and prevent ingress of the gas to the first chamber.
