Hydraulic Shock-Absorber, Particularly for a Vehicle Suspension, With Two Compression Valves

A hydraulic shock-absorber comprises an outer cylindrical tube, an inner cylindrical tube defining with the outer cylindrical tube an annular chamber, a main piston slidably mounted in the inner cylindrical tube and dividing the inner volume of the inner cylindrical tube into an extension chamber and a compression chamber, both containing an incompressible damping fluid, a valve assembly mounted on a bottom wall of the inner cylindrical tube and comprising a first compression valve and a first intake valve, a cup-shaped body mounted in the inner cylindrical tube, inside the compression chamber, and an auxiliary piston rigidly connected to the main piston and configured to slide in the cup-shaped body at least during a final section of the compression phase of the shock-absorber. The shock-absorber further comprises a second compression valve configured as a non-return valve allowing the flow of the damping fluid only in the direction from a working chamber of the cup-shaped body towards a lower portion of the compression chamber.
