<p>The device has a container (1) filled with a magnetorheological fluid. A coil arrangement (2) generates a variable magnetic field, where the coil arrangement exhibits pole surfaces that are associated to a flow track (5). The magnetic field influences over the pole surfaces for controlling flow properties of the magnetorheological fluid. The flow track is divided into two flow paths (16) by a separation wall (15) that forms two additional pole surfaces. An inlet in the flow track comprises a narrow point, and the flow track is provided in an outlet channel of the container.</p>
