Frequency Sensitive Control (FSC)
The frequency determines the damping
Key Facts
EconomicalEfficient on the basis of conventional damping technologyOptimum contactGreater comfort with no loss in safetyImproved isolationIsolation of vehicle body against high frequency vibrations
The centerpiece of FSC is a frequency-dependent valve module which divides the damping force characteristic curve in the rebound direction into high- and low-frequency damping forces. When low-frequency excitations occur, stabilizing, high damping forces are generated for greater driving safety. When high-frequency vibrations occur, the FSC operates at a low damping force level for greater ride comfort.

Advantages
- Economical on the basis of conventional damping technology
- Optimum road contact, greater comfort with no loss in safety
- Improved insulation of vehicle body against high frequency road based excitation
- Compensates for loss in comfort for run-flat and low-profile tires
- Compensates for loss of agility for soft and SUV tires
- Improvement of both: handling stability and ride comfort of the vehicle
