Precision Control Solenoid Valve with Fast Response Time and DC 12V Compatibility for Active Suspension Systems

Solenoid Valve for Active Suspension Systems – Precision Control for Enhanced Ride Performance

At NEWBASE, we deliver high-performance automotive components engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern active suspension systems. Our Solenoid Valves (B017.01 & B017.02) are critical control elements in electronic dampers, adaptive suspensions, and nitrogen-charged shock absorber systems—ensuring precise fluid flow regulation, rapid response times, and long-term reliability.

Designed for use in sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and vehicles with advanced chassis control, these solenoid valves offer exceptional durability, compact design, and compatibility with a wide range of operating conditions. Whether integrated into OEM platforms or used in aftermarket performance upgrades, NEWBASE solenoid valves provide the precision needed for optimal ride comfort and vehicle dynamics.

Why Choose NEWBASE Solenoid Valves?

• ✅ Fast Response Time: As low as 8ms for real-time damping adjustment
• ✅ High Reliability: Built with corrosion-resistant materials and sealed construction for harsh environments
• ✅ Proportional Current Control: Enables smooth, variable damping force modulation
• ✅ Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to 180°C and under pressures up to 30 MPa
• ✅ DC 12V Compatibility: Ideal for standard automotive electrical systems

These valves are essential components in electronically controlled suspension systems, where millisecond-level responsiveness directly impacts ride quality, handling stability, and driver confidence.

Product Specifications Overview

Note: Both models feature plug-in connectors for easy installation and integration into existing ECU-controlled suspension architectures.

Technical Deep Dive: How Solenoid Valves Work in Suspension Systems

In an electronic damper system, the solenoid valve acts as the "gatekeeper" of hydraulic fluid flow between the piston chamber and reservoir. When the vehicle’s control unit detects changes in road surface or driving behavior (via sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes), it sends a signal to the solenoid valve to open or close partially, adjusting the damping force accordingly.

The proportional current control allows for fine-tuned adjustments:

• Higher current → greater valve opening → softer damping
• Lower current → smaller opening → firmer damping

This enables real-time adaptation to different driving modes such as:

• Comfort Mode: Soft damping for smooth rides on highways
• Sport Mode: Firm damping for sharper handling during cornering
• Off-Road Mode: Adjustable stiffness to handle bumps and uneven terrain

According to research published by SAE International, proportional solenoid valves can improve suspension response accuracy by up to 50% compared to on/off valves, significantly enhancing ride comfort and vehicle stability.
