  • REDUCED CAPACITANCE DAMPER AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20090057078
    Abstract: A magneto rheological (MR) fluid damper system for use in a vehicle suspension system can include a twisted pair of conductors integrated into a hollow piston rod of the MR damper. The twisted pair of conductors provide a supply path for current to reach the actuating coil of the MR damper while also providing the current return path to an electric source. The twisted pair of conductors facilitates a reduction in capacitance in the operating circuit, and thus minimizes electromagnetic interference affecting other electrical systems in the vehicle.
