Dampers
Damper Force–Velocity Curve
A force–velocity curve shows how damper force changes with shaft speed and direction.
Dampers
Frequency-Selective Damping (FSD)
Frequency-selective damping passively changes damper response for different patterns of suspension motion.
Dampers
Linear, Digressive, and Progressive Damping
These terms describe how damper force changes as shaft velocity rises.
Dampers
Low-Speed and High-Speed Damping
These damping regions refer to damper-shaft velocity, not the vehicle's road speed.
Dampers
Magnetorheological Dampers
Magnetorheological dampers use a magnetic field to vary fluid resistance and damping force in real time.
Dampers
Monotube and Twin-Tube Dampers
These damper layouts use different working, gas, and compensation-chamber arrangements.
Dampers
Passive Suspension
A passive suspension has no controller changing its mechanical behavior in real time.
