    Abstract: A damping system of an active chassis for a vehicle wheel. The damping system includes a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and a damper having a piston, which damper is couplable to a wheel suspension system for the wheel. A hydraulic pump has a hydraulic reservoir and a hydraulic unit including valves. The hydraulic pump and the hydraulic unit cooperate with hydraulic chambers of the hydraulic cylinder such that, depending on the direction of conveyance of the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic unit, a movement of the piston in a first direction of actuation or in a second direction of actuation can be provided. The hydraulic pump and the damper are connected via the hydraulic unit and a tube-hose system including tubes and hoses. The hydraulic cylinder of the damper and the tube-hose system of the damping system feature a combined hydraulic capacity of between 9 mL/100 bar and 14 mL/100 bar.

    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.

    Abstract: A hydraulic life actuator for adjusting a height of a vehicle includes: a damper tube including a closed end; a damper rod protruding from the damper tube opposite the closed end; a sliding spring seat disposed annularly around the damper tube and configured to engage a coil spring; a support collar disposed annularly around the damper tube and fixed to the sliding spring seat, wherein the support collar is configured to translate axially relative to the damper tube; a lifting bracket connected to the support collar and protruding radially from the support collar; and a hydraulic cylinder disposed adjacent and parallel to the damper tube and having a lift piston rod disposed extending outwardly therefrom, wherein the lift piston rod is connected to the lifting bracket and configured to actuate the sliding spring seat between a retracted position and an extended position spaced apart from the closed end.

    Abstract: A spring configuration comprises a cylindrical damper (5), a primary coil spring (9) with a first predetermined spring rate K1, and a secondary coil spring (11) with a second predetermined spring rate K2, the coil springs arranged about the cylindrical damper (5) in series so as to provide a total combined spring rate KT, an actuator (20) configured to compress and decompress the coil springs (9, 11), a stop (12) configured to deactivate the secondary coil spring (11) at a stop position, such that, when the system is in a first, comfort, mode, the overall suspension spring rate is defined by the series equation 1/KT=1/K1+1/K2, and when the system is in a second, handling, mode, the overall vehicle suspension spring rate is defined by the series equation KT=K1, thus selectively and switchably providing both a low rate, optimal ride comfort setting and a high rate, optimal handling lower ride height setting.

    Abstract: A hydraulic active suspension flow control system includes a hydraulic oil tank, a variable displacement pump with an oil suction port communicating with the hydraulic oil tank, a check valve, a servo valve, a suspension cylinder controlled by the servo valve, an engine revolution speed sensor configured to detect an engine revolution speed, a vehicle speed sensor configured to detect a vehicle speed, an oil pressure sensor configured to detect an accumulator outlet pressure, a flow controller configured to control displacement of the variable displacement pump by receiving data from the engine revolution speed sensor, the vehicle speed sensor and the oil pressure sensor, and a relief valve connected to the check valve in parallel and provided at an oil outlet of the variable displacement pump. The variable displacement pump is connected to an engine through a clutch; and an accumulator is connected between the servo valve and the check valve.

    Abstract: In a motor vehicle chassis, all four wheel suspensions each have associated therewith a hydraulic height adjustment device having a cylinder-piston arrangement which acts on a base point of the relevant spring and is supplied by a decentral hydraulic aggregate. The hydraulic height adjustment devices each comprise a complex, integrated electrohydraulic adjustment assembly comprising the allocated hydraulic aggregate and the associated cylinder-piston arrangement and having a specific adapter into which the allocated cylinder-piston arrangement is integrated in such a way that there are no exposed hydraulic lines between the allocated hydraulic pump and the associated cylinder-piston arrangement. The front wheel height adjustment devices and the rear wheel height adjustment devices differ in terms of the adapter.
