Automotive Suspensions

From MTS Sensors
 

 

Active damper and height control can sometimes be combined into a single strut design. By combining an actuator along the same axis as the damper, a complete assembly can be provided to the suspension builder for preloading the spring to control ride height and quality. Adding a Commercial Sensor to the spring preload cylinder section of the strut can give the designers valuable information about ride height, and suspension reaction to road conditions.

Standard sensors are available from the CSP line for this purpose or a completely customized, internally or externally mounted sensor can be designed. Output formats to the system controller can be analog or digital.

Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is from a magnet that moves along the outside of the waveguide. The other field is from the waveguide itself. Search by Specification | Learn more about Magnetostrictive Position Sensors
