Valve for electro-rheological fluid used in anti-lock braking installation in motor vehicle, uses tension applied to electrodes that define passage for fluid to control fluid flow through valve

摘要

The valve to control an electro-rheological fluid, has a body (1) with inlet (2) and outlet (3) for the fluid flow, and a means of regulating (R) flow through the valve. The regulator comprises electrodes (A1,A2) delimiting the passage (8) for the fluid in the body of the valve, and connections (C1,C2) to an electrical source to create an adjustable electric field between the electrodes.
