Magnetic Suspension (EXPLAINED)
Magnetic Suspension or magnetic ride control is a type of suspension system where the shock absorbers reacts to the road and adjusts much faster than regular absorbers. Magnetic suspension can adapt to uneven road surfaces several hundred times per second, in fact it takes only a few milliseconds to adjust any one of the shock absorbers. Magnetic suspension is described as the fastest reacting suspension in the world as sensors monitor the road surface up to 1000 times per second and an ECU can make variations within a few milliseconds resulting in the possibility of multiple damping variations being made in a second. Magnetic ride control uses a system known as magneto rheological technology for suspension damping. Each absorber is filled with a polymer liquid containing many small magnetic particles . An electrical charge is sent to the liquid in the absorber which immediately changes the position of the particles in the liquid and its viscosity. The viscos...
