Control device and method for shock absorber

摘要

A damping force control device (1) for a shock absorber (Dn) interposed between a sprung member (Bn) and an unsprung member (Wn) of a vehicle (A) comprises a damping force varying mechanism (3) which varies a damping force generated by the shock absorber (Dn). The device (1) comprises a control portion (2) which calculates a deviation (εn) between a damping force target value (Fsn) and a damping force (Fn) currently generated by the shock absorber (Dn) (S205), and feedback-controls the damping force varying mechanism (3) according to the deviation (εn) such that the damping force generated by the shock absorber (Dn) coincides with the damping force target value (Fsn) (S206-S209).
