stop damper with a longitudinally extending damping body 10 is shown in fig1 the damping body 10 comprises a cylinder 11 the cylinder 11 surrounds a receiving chamber 11 1 in which a piston 43 of a sliding element 40 is maintained in a linearly displaceable manner a spring guide element 14 which is formed as one piece on a bottom 13 of the damping body 10 protrudes into the receiving chamber 11 1 in the area of or near its side facing away from the bottom 13 the spring guide element 14 has an opening 16 in the form of a bore the opening 16 creates a spatial connection between the receiving chamber 11 1 and an air guidance channel 15 surrounded by the spring guide element in this case the diameter of the opening is less than 0 1 mm in order to permit a metered air exchange between the receiving chamber 1 1 and the air guidance channel 15 however in place of a bore any desired other opening or cross section can be used good damping results are achieved if the cross sectional surface of the piston 43 in the end area facing the receiving chamber 11.
