Abstract
A valve and a shock absorber based on electrorheological liquids A valve and a shock absorber are described which are based on electrorheological liquids and which contain a valve aperture between two chambers, wherein the boundary faces of the valve aperture consist of electrically conductive material and are insulated from each other, and which comprise a source of high voltage, each of the voltage terminals of which can be connected to one of the boundary faces, with the characterising feature that the valve aperture has a meander-shaped cross-section.
Claims7
A valve based on electrorheological liquids, containing at least one first chamber which is connected via a valve aperture to at least one second chamber, wherein the chambers and the aperture are filled with an electrorheological liquid, the boundary faces of the valve aperture consist of electrically conductive material and are electrically insulated from each other, and comprising a source of high voltage, each of the voltage terminals of which can be connected to one of the boundary faces, characterised in that the valve aperture has a meander-shaped cross-section.
