Abstract

A damper includes: a cylinder; a piston rod disposed to be movable linearly in the cylinder; and a plurality of damping members installed between the cylinder and the piston rod, and generating a damping force by multi-stage so that when a vibration transmitted from the cylinder to the piston rod or from the piston rod to the cylinder is big, a strong damping force is generated, whereas when a vibration is small, a weak damping force is generated. A damping force is generated by stages depending on a displacement of a vibration transferred from the cylinder to the piston or from the piston to the cylinder. If a small amount of vibration is transferred, a weak damping force is generated, whereas if a large amount of vibration is transferred, a strong damping force is generated. Accordingly, a vibration damping performance can be improved.
