An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.
Bose's suspension technology has a new lease on life. Thirty years ago the audio-minded the folks at Bose decided to dive into the world of automotive suspensions. Using a Lexus LS400 as the ...
Active Body Control, or ABC, is the Mercedes-Benz brand name used to describe electronically controlled hydropneumatic suspension. [1] [2] This suspension improves ride quality and allows for control of the vehicle body motions, allowing for reduced body roll in many driving situations including cornering, accelerating, and braking.

Bose store in Century City Bose store at the Hong Kong International Airport. The company was founded in Massachusetts in 1964 by Amar Bose with angel investor funding, including Amar's thesis advisor and professor, Y. W. Lee. [9] Bose's interest in speaker systems had begun in 1956 when he purchased an audio system and was disappointed with its performance. [10]
Mercedes introduced an active suspension system called Active Body Control in its top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz CL-Class in 1999. Several electromagnetic suspensions have also been developed for vehicles. Examples include the electromagnetic suspension of Bose, and the electromagnetic suspension developed by prof. Laurentiu Encica.
The Transrapid system uses servomechanisms to pull the train up from underneath the track and maintains a constant gap while traveling at high speed. Maglev (magnetic levitation) is a transportation system in which a vehicle is suspended on a guiding rail by the principle of electromagnetic suspension. Maglev has the advantages of being quieter ...
Suspension design is often a compromise between ride quality and car handling because cars with firm suspension can result in greater control of body movements and quicker reactions. Similarly, a lower center of gravity is more ideal for handling, but low ground clearance limits suspension travel and requires stiffer springs.
