DEVELOPMENT OF A DISPLACEMENT SENSOR FOR INTELLIGENT SUSPENSION

摘要

This paper describes development of a new displacement sensor for intelligent suspension system in which the damping force has been controlled by MR fluid. Most of the current vehicle height sensors have been installed at external place of the damper and connected to that by mechanical linkages so far. The developed sensor has a new mechanism which detects movement of the sensor rod same as connecting rod in the suspension damper by using a GMR Sensor and convert it to the relative displacement from an initial position.
