Abstract

See full text

A two-tube shock absorber for automotive vehicles is furnished with a shock absorber piston and an electromagnetically actuatable unidirectional shock absorber valve to adjust a 'smooth' characteristic which is desired for enhancing driving comfort. The shock absorber valve is alternatively configurated in the shape of a single-stage, or a two-stage slide valve. The position of the slide depends on the hydraulic pressure differential which decreases above the shock absorber valve, the volumetric stream which flows through the shock absorber valve, and the actuating current of the electromagnetic actuating unit. The inventive shock absorber allows the selection of a special characteristic curve out of a family of potential characteristic curves. Simultaneously, the sensitivity of the shock absorber to errors of the electromagnetic actuation is eliminated.
