MR-X
More than a conventional fluid.
The secret behind our INVSHOCK technology
Low system requirements without performance compromises
In our InvShock dampers, we primarily use MR-X (magnetorheological fluid).
When MR-X is exposed to a magnetic field, the iron particles in the fluid link and transform MR-X from a liquid to a semi-solid. This effect is shown by the MR technology demonstrator.
Once the magnetic field is removed, the smart material reverts to its unlinked state.
The characteristics of MR-X
Fully adjustable & incredibly accurate
The degree of change the MR-X undergoes when exposed to a magnetic field is related to the magnetic field’s strength. The stronger the magnetic field, the higher the yield stress of the material.
Therefore, the MR-X’s level of stress resistance can be controlled very accurately by varying the magnetic field’s intensity. This has made MR-X the ideal technology for applications, such as brakes, suspensions, and dampers.
Durability & reliability
Proven over time
While smart materials such as MR-X (Magneto-Rheological Fluid) or MRP (Magneto-Rheological Powder) are new to most people, MR technologies have proven themselves for over 20 years in the automotive industry in suspensions or steering systems, most prominently in the Audi’s® suspension system of the TT or R8 models.
MR dampener systems can also be found in the construction or medical industry. But no other system can compete with the performance of InvShock.
