SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The controlled damping suspension system is composed of the following components listed below.

SPECIFIC SHOCK ABSORBERS

The four shock absorbers are oil dynamic, pressurized and are all equipped with an electromagnetically controlled regulation valve, fixed to the outer hose of the shock absorber. After an input by the control unit, each valve regulates the passage of the oil between the two chambers of the shock absorber, proportionally modifying the damping action. The reaction times of opening and closing of the valves are extremely short, around five milliseconds.

CONTROL SENSORS

The moment by moment adjustment of the shock absorbers is entrusted to the control unit which receives and processes the signals "read" from the sensors listed below.

• Vertical acceleration sensor or accelerometer which, fixed to the control unit support and located under the cushion of the rear seat, detects the oscillations of the vehicle body.
