The invention relates to a novel damper type for hydraulically damping in vibration absorbers, in particular pendulum absorbers. Due to its design features, the hydraulic damper as per the invention has adjustable damping characteristics corresponding to its axial strain during operation, which differ from conventional dampers. The invention further relates to novel dampers, or pendulum absorbers, which are also substantially temperature-independent as a result of corresponding devices or without the different damping characteristics. The invention also relates to the use of such hydraulic dampers as essential components in pendulum absorbers that have been optimised for use, in particular in towers or buildings, preferably in wind turbines.
