A dashpot is a damper that uses viscuous friction to resist motion. The damping force is proportional to the velocity of the movement and reacts in the opposite direction thereby counteracting the motion (slowing down the movement) and causing it to absorb energy.
The dashpot is characterized by two specifications: the stroke and the damping coefficient. The stroke is a measurement of the linear displacement of the dashpot while the damping coefficient is a measurement of damping force per velocity (force/velocity) |
