The invention relates to a valve (1) to ensure pressure compensation between subchambers (21, 22) of a hydraulic
damper (2), wherein the valve (1) comprises a first side (100) for connection to a first subchamber (21) and a second side (200) for connection to a second subchamber (22), the valve (1) is designed to shut off in its
rest position a flow of fluid between the two sides (100, 200) and comprises, when deflected from its
rest position, a passage channel with a passage cross-section for admitting the flow of fluid, the valve (1) comprises two valve elements (3, 4) guided towards each other and movable towards each other along a path of movement in a movement direction x, one of the two valve elements (3, 4) is designed as a moving element (4) and the other valve element as a seat element (3), a pressure can be applied to the moving element (4), on the load side thereof, by a fluid coming from the first side (100), generating an
effective force for moving the moving element (4) in the moving direction x, and the moving element (4) is connected to a
spring system (5) which applies to the moving element (4) a
spring force, generating a
restoring force opposite to the effective moving force. At least one of the valve elements (3, 4) comprises a cylinder section comprising a plurality of passages (6), the passage channel runs through at least some of the passages (6) and the passage cross-section is limited by a cross-section of these passages (6), while the other valve element (3, 4) comprises a closed cylindrical surface (7) which lies on the one valve element (3, 4) in the
rest position, shutting off the flow of fluid, and the passage cross-section can be adjusted by the deflection of the valve (1) as a result of the movement of the moving element (4) towards the seat element (3) in the direction of movement x, the passage cross-section increasing with the deflection.
