Abstract: A powered bleed adjuster is disclosed. The powered bleed adjust includes a barrel valve located at least partially within a bleed fluid pathway of a shaft. The barrel valve includes an internal fluid path formed along a longitudinal axis of the barrel valve, an opening of the internal fluid path at a first end of the barrel valve, and at least one bleed port through a wall of the barrel valve to provide a second opening for the internal fluid path. The powered bleed adjust also includes a motor coupled with the barrel valve, the motor configured to rotate the barrel valve to control a fluid flow through the bleed fluid pathway.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sway bar system comprising a damping link that couples a first end of a sway bar to a first location on a vehicle. The damping link is comprised of a body comprising a damping chamber and a reservoir. There is also a through shaft coupled to a piston, where the piston divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. A high-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the first chamber and the second chamber to the reservoir. A low-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the reservoir to the first chamber and the second chamber. The high-pressure line and the low-pressure line assist in self-centering the sway bar.
