they are actually small pneumatic cylinders, such as those made by Sierra or Robart, but filled with fluid instead of air. The two ends are linked through a needle valve to restrict and control the flow. The prototype seen here uses water (with a corrosion inhibitor) but I will change over to silicone oil soon, which should be better for the longer term.

Where can I find these kind of hydraulic dampers? Very realistic!
