ABSTRACT:
A vibration damper has a variable damping effect. The variation of the damping effect is obtained by a control valve. This control valve is subject to the pressure force of a damping liquid on the one hand and to a pressure force of a electrorheological liquid on the other hand. The pressure force of the electrorheological liquid is responsive to the viscosity of this electrorheological liquid. The viscosity of this electrorheological liquid is responsive to variation of a high voltage electrical field applied to the electrorheological liquid within a flow path. The pressure force obtained by the pressure of the damping liquid acts in a first direction onto a valve body of the control valve. The pressure force resulting from the pressure of the electrorheological liquid acts in a second direction onto the valve body. The direction of both pressure forces are invariable irrespective of the direction of movement of the piston rod with respect to the cylinder.
