Magnetic Shocks and Struts

 

Also known as MagneRide ®, magnetic shocks and struts are an active suspension system for cars and trucks. These systems use a magnetorheological fluid inside a monotube body that responds to electronic signals to provide more or less resistance.

Strutmasters magnetic shocks and struts are made to match or exceed the quality, fit, and function of the OEM parts they replace.

What Are Magnetic Shocks and Struts?

Magnetic shocks and struts are components in an active suspension system. Rather than pressurized air or coil springs, these systems use magnetic fluids to respond to changes in the road surface and provide damping resistance. 

How Do Magnetic Shocks and Struts Work?

MagneRide systems work by using electronic signals to adjust the resistance of a magnetorheological fluid—also commonly known as magnetic oil. This constant, cyclical process process that includes the following steps:


  1. Ride height sensors at each wheel take constant mechanical readings of the height of the body of the car relative to the axel.

  2. The sensors send this information to an electronic control unit (ECU) which calculates whether that corner of the car needs more or less resistance to keep the ride at a constant height. This small computer is also sometimes called an electronic control module (ECM).

  3. The ECU sends signals to the magnetic struts. These struts contain electromagnetic coils that can adjust the viscosity—or thickness and hardness—of the magnetic oil inside. When a strut needs to provide more resistance, such as when the car goes over a dip in the road, the fluid becomes more viscous, and vice-versa.

What Comes In A Strutmasters Magnetic Suspension Box?

Because each kit is designed specifically for each vehicle, the components vary. However, every Strutmasters magnetic shocks and struts kit comes with everything you need to replace your worn out magnetic suspension. Your package will include some or all of the following:


  • Complete magnetic strut and shock assembly

  • Magnetic shock replacement

  • Wiring kit or wiring harness

  • All necessary mounting hardware


That may not be all. Rest assured that when you buy any Strutmasters magnetic suspension kit or component, you’ll have everything you need to install it.
