Abstract

The invention relates to a flow limiter for hydraulic fluid, comprising at least one passage (14) of reduced cross-section for the hydraulic fluid, the passage (14) being formed between two contiguous pieces (12, 22) each having at lest one planar face (10, 20), at least one of the two pieces (12, 22) comprising a recessed impression (14) on at least one of its faces (10, 20), the passage (14) of reduced cross section being defined within the space situated between the recessed impression (14) formed on a planar face (10) on one of the pieces and the planar face (20) of the other piece (22), the length of the passage (14) of reduced cross section being adjustable by varying the relative position of the two pieces (12, 22). According to the invention, a pierced hole (18) is made in one piece (12) at one end of the passage (14) of reduced cross section and in that a pierced hole (24) is made in the other piece (22) at the other end of the passage (14) of reduced cross section.
