Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Türdämpfer
German term or phrase: Auf- und Zuschlagen
Der Türdämpfer wurde insbesondere entwickelt, um das plötzliche ***Auf- und Zuschlagen*** von Türen während eines Sturms oder bei kräftigem Wind zu verhindern. Der Dämpfer ist ideal für Garagen- oder Hintertüren, bei denen sich Hindernisse befinden. Bei normalen Wetterbedingungen behält die Tür jede Position und hat damit u.a. den Vorteil, dass der Durchgang ungehindert möglich ist.
