This paper studies on the controllable characteristics of electrorheological valve using serial multielectrode. We design an electrorheological valve using serial multielectrode and apply to damper for testing the controllable characteristics. From the analysis and experimental results, we show that the electrorheological valve using serial multielectrode has higher controllable characteristics than a single-electrode ER valve. The electrorheological valve using serial multielectrode is suitable for vehicle dampers that especially require short stroke and high damping force.
