Sliding motion

edit

There is a category of damper that is very similar that uses sliding motion instead of the rotary motion described here (disk) that has disks and a slotted plate(s) that slide between the disks. This is common in Harley Davidson Motorcycles of the 1945 era and in some Hoover washing machines of the late 1970 era. Not sure if this should find a home here one day or if it needs it's own page. The HD type should be esy to find references for.

If it's the same principle, it's applied to vehicle suspension, and it was used enough to support some sources, then it could be added as a section here. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hey Andy, we keep bumping into each other :-)
The third picture down shows the slotted suspension dampers (called Ride Control by some).

I had forgotten but the steering damper on the same type of motorbike is also a (rotary) disk damper.
Here is the steering damper diagram

are there automotive projects that might be able to help a bit with this page, missing categories?
