Adaptive dampers reach new highs and lows

摘要

Delphi has announced a breakthrough in adaptive damper technology with a magneto rheological damper called MagneRide, whose properties can be altered by energising a small electromagnetic coil embedded in the piston of each damper. When that happens, tiny ferrous particles suspended in the magneto rheological hydraulic fluid align themselves into chains that are resistant to shear. The particles are magnetically soft and do not become permanently magnetised.
