Abstract
A smart damping control valve having a failsafe mode is provided. The control valve includes a movable valve assembly within a valve housing. The moveable valve assembly includes a shuttle valve concentrically positioned with respect to a spool valve, with the spool valve and the shuttle valve each being axially moveable within a bore in the valve housing. The control valve includes a solenoid assembly having an electromagnetically actuated armature that varies the opening pressure of the movable valve assembly. At a first electrical current, the valve assembly provides a first opening pressure, and at a second electrical current, the valve assembly provides a second opening pressure. The valve assembly provides a third opening pressure, between the first and second opening pressures, in the absence of an electrical current to the solenoid assembly.
