Working principle

The External Continuous Damping Valve is a high-performance, electronically controlled valve designed for use in adaptive suspension systems. Mounted externally to the damper, it continuously adjusts damping forces in real time based on road conditions, driving style, and vehicle dynamics. By regulating the hydraulic fluid flow through an electromagnetic actuator, it enables seamless transitions between comfort and performance modes.

Ideal for premium vehicles, SUVs, and sports cars, this valve enhances ride comfort, handling precision, and overall driving safety. Its modular design allows for easy integration, making it a versatile solution for next-generation suspension systems.
