Conventional shock absorbers have reached a high level of functionality and durability. New developments that provide more refinement are available. Systems like Four-Step Valve on primary suspension improve functionality and adaptability and offer a good cost-to-value ratio. VARIO and ASD on are adapted to the specifics of cabin suspension. The functionality is geared towards gaining as rauch comfort as possible without sacrificing cabin stability. Fully variable damping systems like CDC (Continuous Damping Control) and CDC-1XL provide the top level of functionality. Independent of vehicle configurations, load condition, road surface and driving maneuver the system is able to provide comfort, stability and control at the same time. CDC has been in the market for many years. With the introduction of more advanced controller algorithms the benefits can be further optimized. Further integration of systems generates added benefits. Interfacing gear-box control and cabin CDC more comfort can be achieved and an economical benefit at the same time.
