The colloid is pre-charged with pressure. When an external force acts on the piston rod, when the external force acting on the piston rod is greater than the pre-charged pressure of the colloid inside the device, the piston rod is pressed into the damping body. As the stroke of entry increases, the colloid is compressed, the body pressure decreases, the pressure increases, and the increased pressure acts on the piston rod. When the size of the pressure is balanced with the external force, the piston rod stops moving.
