Magnetorheological damper with bypass valving

摘要

An adjustable vehicle suspension damper (10) configured to be arranged between a wheel assembly and a body of a vehicle, the adjustable damper including a tube (12). A piston (14) is slidably carried in the tube. A coil (52) is carried on the piston adjacent a first flow passageway (79) in the piston to produce a magnetic field thereacross and a control valve (65) is carried on the piston controlling fluid flow through a second flow passageway (80) in the piston. <IMAGE>
