Abstract

L'invention concerne une soupape pouvant être parcourue par un liquide magnétorhéologique, comportant un canal de soupape (7) pouvant être parcouru par un champ magnétique (25), au moins un aimant pourvu d'au moins une culasse étant prévu pour la production du champ magnétique (25), et des surfaces opposées d'un entrefer dans une culasse divisée ou des surfaces opposées de deux culasses (3, 5) forment des parois opposées du canal de soupape (7). Dans le sens d'écoulement (15) du liquide magnétorhéologique, le canal de soupape (7) présente une variation de la surface de section transversale, le rapport de la surface de section transversale maximale du canal de soupape (7) sur la surface de section transversale minimale étant de 1,5 à 200. L'invention concerne également un amortisseur comportant un cylindre (45) et un piston (43) se déplaçant axialement dans le cylindre (45). Le cylindre contient deux chambres (57, 59) séparées mutuellement par le piston (43). Les chambres (57, 59) contiennent un liquide magnétorhéologique. Le piston (43) comporte au moins une soupape selon l'invention (1) à travers laquelle le liquide magnétorhéologique peut s'écouler d'une chambre (57, 59) à l'autre (57, 59).
