Abstract

A gas spring and damper assembly includes a damper assembly and a gas spring assembly that are operatively connected to one another. The damper assembly includes a damper housing and a damper rod assembly. The gas spring assembly includes a first end member, a second end member and a flexible wall secured between the first and second end members to at least partially define a spring chamber. The assembly is displaceable between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. During use under load, the assembly can undergo displacement from the extended condition toward the collapsed condition upon transferring pressurized gas into the spring chamber, and can undergo displacement from the collapsed condition toward the extended condition upon transferring pressurized gas out of the spring chamber. A suspension system is also included.
