摘要:
A hydropneumatic suspension system for land vehicles, especially tracked vehicles such as tanks and earth movers, in which a piston connected to a suspended part displaces a hydraulic medium to compress a gas. A second pressurizable gas chamber is provided and is connected to the primary gas-compression chamber by a valve operated with a predetermined lag or delay so that the energy generated by movement of the suspended part toward the chassis or body of the vehicle is stored and supplied to the suspended part at a subsequent time without substantial transformation of the suspension energy into heat or other dissipation of this energy.
