VIDA

An Active Magnetic Suspension System for Wheelchairs

About VIDA

VIDA is a highly sensitive integrated suspension system that reduces low, medium, and high frequency vibrations on wheelchairs. It is fueled with magneto-rheological fluid, which is calibrated through a both mechanical and electronic system capable of calculating up to one hundred adjustments per second. This high sensitivity ensures that any vibrations caused by rough terrain, a crack in the sidewalk or even from a brick pavement, are not transmitted to the wheelchair user.
