Abstract
Four electromagnetic shock absorbers () are provided with motors (FL,FR,RL,RR). First current-carrying terminals (T) of the motors (FL,FR,RL,RR) are connected to one another by a ground line (). Further, second current-carrying terminals (T) of the motor (FL) and the motor (FR) are connected to each other by a front wheel roll damping line (F). Second current-carrying terminals (T) of the motor (RL) and the motor (RR) are connected to each other by a rear wheel roll damping line (R). Second current-carrying terminals (T) of the motor (FL) and the motor (RL) are connected to each other by a left wheel pitch damping line (L). Second current-carrying terminals (T) of the motor (FR) and the motor (RR) are connected to each other by a right wheel pitch damping line (R). In this manner, appropriate damping forces can be generated with a simple configuration not only against vehicle bouncing but also against vehicle rolling and pitching.
