HOW TEMS WORKS

The system uses a closed loop of piezoelectric ceramic sensors and actuators to continually monitor the suspension vibration arising from road roughness. The sensor produces a voltage which is amplified, altered in phase, and applied to the 88-element piezoelectric actuator. The actuator produces .50µmdisplacement which is hydraulically amplified to 2mmand which is sufficient to adjust the dampingforce in the shock absorber system from firm to soft within .20 milliseconds.
