Magneto rheological damper
- Magneto rheological damper
A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet.

This type of shock absorber has several applications, most notably in semi-active vehicle suspensions which may adapt to road conditions, as they are monitored through sensors in the vehicle, and in prosthetic limbs.

These types of systems are available from OEMs for several vehicles, including the Acura MDX, Audi TT, BMW's with EDC, Audi R8, Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS, Cadillac XLR, Cadillac SRX, Cadillac STS, Chevrolet Corvette, Ferrari 599GTB, and Holden HSV Commodore.
MillenWorks has also included them in several military vehicles including the MillenWorks Light Utility Vehicle, and in retrofits to the US Army Stryker and HMMWV for testing by TARDEC. [http://www.millenworks.com/html/aboutus/news/Stryker_Test.pdf]
