Claim Text:
1. An electric damper assembly, comprising: a damper having a rotor and a stator, the rotor and the stator connecting a first component and a second component movable relative thereto, with one of the rotor and the stator having excitation windings, and the other one of the rotor and the stator having induction windings, wherein a rotation of the rotor in relation to the stator causes a rotation of the excitation windings relative to induction windings to thereby induce an induction voltage in the induction windings; a sensor configured to detect a movement of the first component relative to the second component; and a control unit connected to the sensor and the damper and configured to supply the excitation windings with electric energy in such a way that an electromagnetic rotary field is generated which is dependent on the movement detected by the sensor and is superimposed on the rotation of the rotor relative to stator.
