Knob & Detent

LORD MR technology can be used to provide locking and resistance in control knobs and detent devices.

The Value LORD MR Provides

Custom tactile feedback in knobs and controls. Differing tactile sensations for different functions/modes leads to more efficient, multiple-use controls. The customizable nature of LORD Corporation’s solutions allows multiple instrument-panel configurations, eliminating the expense of adding new knobs and levers.

Locking detents for doors and hatches. MR technology can be used to provide infinitely variable detents in door & hatch hinges and dampers. These detents can be programmed to vary according to various criteria (e.g., incline of vehicle). Our technology can also provide greater longevity in locking raised hatches than hydraulic shocks.

CASE STUDY
Bringing a smoother ride to GM customers. Using LORD Corporation’s proprietary magneto-rheological (MR) fluid technology, Delphi Corporation’s MagneRide™ system incorporates MR fluid-based monotube shock absorbers with a sensor set and an onboard controller.
