The absorber control actuator uses a step motor that switches in 9 steps to effect minute changes in the damping force.
The step motor consists of 2 sets of stators and coils.
To control the damping force, the step motor causes the magnetic rotor, which is directly coupled to the shock absorber control rod, to make small rotational movements in accordance with the signals received from the absorber control ECU.
