The Seville's impressive history began in 1956 as the nameplate for the coupe version of the Eldorado. In 1976, Cadillac brought the Seville back as its first import fighter. For 2003, the Seville continues to lead the pack. And smoothly, at that. The Seville features Magnetic Ride Control, a revolutionary damper design that uses magnetorheological (MR) fluid in the shocks and struts. For continuously variable, real-time damping, the fluid's consistency can be varied by controlling the current to the electromagnetic coil inside the damper's piston. The result is

Products & Services
Shock Absorbers, Linear Dampers, and Dashpots
Shock absorbers, linear dampers, and dashpots provide motion damping in linear applications. They frequently incorporate fluid dampening, and can include mechanical or elastomeric elements.
Gas Springs
Gas springs provide controlled motion and speed for elements, such as lids and doors, that open and close.
Rotary Dampers
Rotary dampers absorb and slow rotary motion for the mitigation of vibration, noise, and machine component wear.
Specialty Fluids and Lubricants
Specialty fluids and lubricants include specialized, proprietary or unlisted lubricants or fluids.
