Electric vehicle charging ports are used frequently and must operate safely, smoothly and reliably over time. Sudden movements, repeated use and exposure to external conditions can affect their durability and performance.
Axial dampers provide a simple and effective solution by controlling the opening and closing movement of charging port doors.
This application is part of a wider range of automotive solutions where controlled motion plays a key role. Discover how dampers improve vehicle components.

Benefits of dampers in charging ports
- Improved safety
Dampers slow down the movement of the charging port door, reducing the risk of sudden closures and potential injuries.
- Increased durability
By absorbing impacts, dampers reduce wear and tear on the charging port components, extending their lifespan.
- Smooth operation
Controlled motion ensures a consistent and refined user experience during every use.
- Noise reduction
Dampers eliminate unwanted noise caused by abrupt opening or closing movements.
