A suspension includes inner magnets coupled to an inner cylindrical member and outer magnets coupled to an outer cylindrical member that circumscribes the inner cylindrical member. The inner magnets are stacked on top of one another in an axial direction and include a first set having a first polarity alternately arrayed with a second set having a second polarity. The outer magnets are stacked on top of one another in the axial direction and include a first set having the first polarity alternately arrayed with a second set having the second polarity. Each inner magnet in the first set is radially aligned with an outer magnet in the second set and each inner magnet in the second set is radially aligned with an outer magnet in the first set to provide an attractive electromagnetic field between the magnets that passively absorbs axial displacement between the inner and outer cylindrical members.

To provide a solenoid, a solenoid valve, and a damper in which when the amount of current supplied to the solenoid is small, the thrust of the solenoid to bias an object in one direction can be made small, and at the same time, even when the solenoid is not energized, the object can be biased in the same direction as that of the thrust. The solenoid includes a coil, a first movable iron core and a second movable iron core that are attracted in a direction away from each other by energizing the coil, a coil spring that biases the first movable iron core toward the second movable iron core, and a leaf spring that restricts the approach of the first movable iron core and the second movable iron core.

A damper interface device (DID) includes a microcontroller including a memory and a processor, at least one algorithm stored to the memory, and a DID connector configured to connect the microcontroller to a vehicle network without having to modify the wiring system of the vehicle. The algorithm is configured to receive network messages from the vehicle network via the DID connector, where the network messages include an input message directed to a suspension controller. The algorithm is executed by the processor to identify the input message as directed to the suspension controller, parse the input message for response requirements, determine contents of a response to the input message, where the contents of the response emulate a response of the suspension controller, and generate a response message including the contents of the response. The microcontroller is configured to output the response message to the vehicle network via the DID connector.

A regenerative shock absorber that include a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.

An apparatus to correct the driving power of an actuator in a vehicle includes a comparator that compares a battery voltage of the vehicle with a predetermined reference voltage. A controller adjusts and outputs a duty ratio of a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal according to the compared result of the battery voltage and reference voltage. A switching element is switched on and off by the PWM signal and outputs the battery voltage after a transformation. An actuator operates by receiving the transformed battery voltage through the switching element. The actuator operates at a constant speed regardless of the variation of the battery voltage.

A failsafe actuator for returning an actuator driven element to a failsafe position in case of a failure condition is provided. The failsafe actuator may include mechanical or electrical means to provide a failsafe function. Such a failsafe actuator may be used in a stabilizer bar system of a vehicle to ensure that at least one stabilizer bar is returned to a failsafe or engaged condition should a failure condition occur when the stabilizer bar is disengaged. Various failure conditions can include loss of electrical power to the actuator or some internal actuator failures.

In a road vehicle suspension the damping of the system is greater at high speeds than low speeds. Typically, a plurality of shock absorbers having adjustable damping characteristics are used, and electromagnetic means adjust the damping characteristic of each shock absorber under the control of speed responsive means so that the damping is increased above a predetermined speed of the vehicle.

Damping arrangement for an axle of an active chassis of a motor vehicle. A damping system interacts with each wheel of the axle. Each of the damping systems includes the following assemblies: a damper including a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and a piston, a hydraulic pump and an electric motor for driving same, and a hydraulic unit which includes a hydraulic reservoir and valves. The hydraulic pump and the hydraulic unit of the respective damping system interact with hydraulic chambers of the hydraulic cylinder in such a manner that a movement of the piston in a first or in a second operating direction can be provided depending on the delivery direction of the hydraulic pump. The electric motors of both damping systems are connected to a common control device and can be actuated thereby, wherein the common control device has electronic assemblies which are distributed on different printed circuit boards.
