Active suspensions can alter the dynamic behavior of a vehicle in real time to respond optimally to any given operating scenario. Today’s active suspension technologies such as hydraulics, rotary electromagnetics, and linear electromagnetics do offer performance gains but these gains are outweighed by important disadvantages including high power consumption, low quality of force, and high costs and weights. Controlled slippage magnetorheological (MR) actuators are an emerging alternative actuation technology that is light, compact, power dense, and produces a high-quality force, making it ideal for active suspension applications. This article conducts an in-depth experimental assessment of the potential of MR actuators to increase vehicle ride comfort quality when used as active suspensions. Four high power MR actuators are installed on a BMW 330Ci and tests are performed on a closed road. Results show that with an impedance controller, comfort is increased by 67% at 65 km/h and by 61% at 80 km/h. These results compare favorably with the best-in-class electromagnetic active suspension technologies reported to date and suggest that MR actuators are promising for automotive active suspensions.
