Pressure regulating valve assembly for a hydraulic damper.

摘要

A pressure regulating valve assembly (100) includes a valve body (102) mounting an electric solenoid assembly (189). The solenoid assembly controls the fluid pressure in a pilot pressure chamber (142) defined in the valve body. Fluid in the pilot pressure chamber is biased against a deflectable disc (162) which controls fluid flow through the pressure regulating valve assembly. Control of electric current to the solenoid assembly controls fluid pressure in the pilot pressure chamber and, thus, fluid flow through the pressure regulating valve assembly. When utilized with a hydraulic damper and a controller, the present pressure regulating valve assembly provides continuously variable damping in real time.
