What is Dashpot? A Basic Definition

dashpot \dash"pot`\, dash-pot \dash-pot\(d[a^]sh"p[o^]t`), n.
   (Mach.)
   a mechanical damping device containing a piston that moves in
   a fluid-filled chamber to serve as a pneumatic or hydraulic
   cushion for a falling weight, as in the valve gear of a steam
   engine, to prevent shock.
   [1913 Webster + WordNet 1.5]

   Note: It consists of a chamber, containing air or a liquid,
         in which a piston (a), attached to the weight, falls
         freely until it enters a space (as below the openings,
         b) from which the air or liquid can escape but slowly
         (as through cock c), when its fall is gradually
         checked.
         [1913 Webster]

   Note: A cataract of an engine is sometimes called a dashpot.
         [1913 Webster]
