Electronically adjustable dampers
Different roads and traffic situations require different dampers. To achieve this goal, thyssenkrupp has developed electronically adjustable dampers. Because they react automatically to various situations, they provide greater safety.

ADS (Adaptive Damping System)
With the monotube gas-pressure shock absorber with a separating piston, two electronically controlled switching valves take care of the automatic adjusting of the shock absorbers based on load and speed. In just 60 milliseconds, the valves select and switch between the four possible damper settings.
The driver’s experience is that the vehicle body seems to “float” over the ground without disruptive movements.

DampTronic® I / II
DampTronic® is an electronically adjustable, infinitely variable damping system The adjusting valve can be integrated into the damper (DampTronic® I) or mounted on the outside of the damper (DampTronic® II). Sensors detect the current driving situation and the vehicle condition. The control unit records this information, which then optimizes the damping force for each individual damper.

DampTronic® select
With the DampTronic® select two-stage damper system, thyssenkrupp closes the gap between conventional, passive shock absorbers and elaborate, electronically and infinitely adjustable dampers. The advantage: in vehicles with DampTronic® select, by using a switch on the dashboard, the driver can alternate between two suspension configurations – e.g. standard or sports suspension.
Thanks to a great reduction in system costs, this system is an attractive proposition for even the compact and small car segments.

DampTronic® sky
The new DampTronic® sky dampers offer an especially good compromise between driving comfort and agility. In the new generation, each damper adjusts the damping force with two infinitely adjustable valves: one valve controls the extension phase – i.e. the force that ensues when the wheel rebounds – and the other the compression phase. This is a high-end system of semi-active damper adjustment. The control module adjusts the damping forces for each wheel individually in just a few milliseconds. This increases passenger comfort and stabilizes the vehicle body to the best possible degree.
