Active Suspension
| Description | Construction and operation |
|---|---|
| This system combines hydraulic fluid and pressurized gas to provide both suspension and damping functions. | It uses interconnected spheres filled with gas and fluid. The fluid flows into the spheres, compressing the gas and providing a spring-like effect. Damping is achieved through controlled flow of the fluid between chambers within the spheres. |
| These utilize magnetic fields to control the viscosity of a special fluid within the damper, allowing for variable damping characteristics. | They contain a magneto-rheological fluid that changes viscosity when exposed to a magnetic field. An electromagnetic coil surrounds the damper, and varying the current through the coil alters the magnetic field strength, affecting the fluid's viscosity. |
| This system replaces traditional metal springs with air bags, offering adjustable ride height and variable spring stiffness. | Air bags are bellows filled with compressed air, replacing the coil springs. An air compressor pressurizes the bags, and valves control the air flow to adjust the ride height and spring stiffness. Sensors monitor vehicle load and driving conditions. |
| These are electronically controlled shock absorbers that can adjust their damping force in real-time based on various factors like road conditions, vehicle speed, and driver input. | They use electronically controlled valves to regulate the flow of fluid within the damper, altering its resistance and damping characteristics. Sensors monitor vehicle dynamics and send signals to the control unit, which adjusts the valves accordingly. |
