Monroe Launches Passive Damper Valve With Dual-stage Bleed Technology

Monroe Ride Solutions, portion of Tenneco, has developed a passive damper piston valve that it says delivers independent tuning of rebound and compression damping to reside noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) successful ray conveyance platforms.

The Monroe DCx (Double Comfort eXperience) valve uses a dual-stage bleed creation to minimise damping forces astatine very debased piston rod velocities. According to Monroe, this isolates high-frequency roadworthy textures and micro-vibrations that are superior contributors to NVH.

Each shape of nan bleed is independently tuneable successful position of rebound and compression, allowing engineers to optimise damping unit power for a fixed vehicle’s comfortableness and handling targets, without discuss betwixt nan 2 characteristics.

The DCx valve is disposable successful double-tube Monroe OE Solutions dampers and is compatible pinch Monroe Ride Refine secondary valve systems, which supply further tuning scope beyond nan superior valve.

John Kinnick, vice president and wide head of Monroe Ride Solutions, said, “Monroe DCx is nan first bid accumulation valve strategy for passive dampers that enables light-vehicle OEMs to destruct nan discuss betwixt comfortableness and capacity while ensuring outstanding NVH reduction. Our world engineering squad continues to beforehand nan subject of thrust control.”
