You rock. I need to figure out how to zoom in on the toggle to understand how it works.

Very nice work! I don't have one on hand to take apart and this is the next best thing. It's a clever mechanism.

Thanks for explaining the mechanism; it's always intrigued me.

Thank you for making this.

Thanks for doing this so I didn't have too. Great explanation...

Such a great video showing the mechanisms in detail. I'd just point out that using a "scale" won't provide useful information about the damper as the resistente is proportional to the change in speed (as seen in its differential equation). So it will oppose the movement according to the speed applied!

The force to depress the plunger is a function of velocity.

Thanks for the Video.

Thank you for this. I cant stand this mechanism. I reached out to see how to disengage the darn thing. Thanks again

i have two blum sliders and one has a bad piston, I was hoping to move the working piston to the broken one. Is this a good idea, or do the entire sliders need to be swapped (the sliders have slight geometric differences)

Was this slide a Blum? Looks like one. Thanks for the knowledge!

AWESOME video!! I think the slow-release, consistent speed is achieved with the air being compressed when pushed in and then slowly expands out (which is why the rubber seals are there). There's a product called 'smart grease' which also helps with consistent movement (or it could have just been silicone grease)

I'm like 10 months late on this one but the way I think it works: the plastic bits on top of the spring need to move through the silicone fluid but there's a certain resistance which equals the force of the spring. That's the reason for why the rod moves forward smoothly. Then, when you close the drawer, you'd have to overcome both the resistance of the plastic bits moving through the silicone + the spring
