dash-pot
A dash-pot is a mechanical device used to damp or resist the motion of a moving part by providing a force that is proportional to the speed of that moving part. It generally consists of a piston which moves in a cylinder filled with fluid (usually oil). The piston has small holes or passages that allow the fluid to pass through, slowing down the motion of the piston. It is commonly used in various applications such as automobile suspension systems, doors, and industrial machinery, to reduce vibrations or gradually stop a motion.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Dash-Pot
A cylinder and piston, the latter loosely fitting or perforated, or some equivalent means being provided to permit movement. The cylinder may contain a liquid such as glycerine, or air only. Thus the piston is perfectly free to move, but any oscillations are damped (see Damping). In some arc lamps the carbon holder is connected to a dash-pot to check too sudden movements of the carbon. The attachment may be either to the piston or to the cylinder. In the Brush lamp the top of the carbon holder forms a cylinder containing glycerine, and in it a loosely fitting piston works. This acts as a dash-pot.
