VEHICLE SUSPENSION DAMPERS
The MR damper has
a built-in MR valve
across which the MR
fluid is forced.
The piston of the MR
damper acts as an
electromagnet with
the required number
of coils to produce
the appropriate
magnetic field.
Also the MR damper
has a run-through
shaft to avoid an
accumulator.
MR TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES
They are used in
automotive power train to
transmit torque from the
engine to the transmission
and the vehicle.
The MR sponge clutch
may be used to provide
launch control of an
automobile thereby
achieving smooth vehicle
launch.
The MRF clutch thus may
replace the existing torque
converters and therefore
help increase the fuel
economy.
