Arrangement for damping by fluid lamination and motor vehicle suspension system equiped with such a damping arrangement

摘要

The shock absorber consists of a nozzle (1) with an outlet (2) for a fluid (3), and a valve (5) situated in the centre of flexible plates (6) forming a diaphragm. The plates are made from a magnetic material, are circular in shape and extend perpendicular to the nozzle orifice. Their outer edges (7) are enclosed in a support. The position of the membrane and, consequently, the valve relative to the nozzle orifice is controlled by an electromagnet (13). The membrane is made from one or more plates with radial slits to provide flexibility.
