Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV) is a chassis suspension technology that delivers high levels of suspension damping performance. It is used on various ultra high-performance GM vehicles, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The images above are simple cross sections of a typical spool valve (left) and a poppet valve (right). (Courtesy of ...

One thing common to some of our favorite performance vehicles lately, from the Chevy ZR2 pickup truck to the Ford GT supercar, is the shocks –- they use Multimatic DSSV damper technology. It was just ...

Suspension damping technology has remained relatively unchanged for the past 100 years. Conventional dampers (known to the layperson as shock absorbers) work by forcing a piston through a chamber ...

The 362 and 562 series are for valve automation in oil and gas applications. These stainless steel spool valves are for control valve automation in the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas ...

Active suspension is the be-all, end-all for vehicle dynamics. The ability to decouple ride from handling entirely and have total control over body motions is the dream of engineers, but until now, no ...

Chevrolet’s Colorado ZR2 promises to be one heck of an off-roader, and one of the main reasons is the truck’s unique shock absorbers. To achieve the desired performance, Multimatic, the company that ...

Determine forces on the valve spool to optimize solenoid size. Designers of spool-type, solenoid-operated hydraulic valves often face the vexing problem of increasing flow while shrinking the size of ...
