    摘要: An axle assembly for a suspension system of a vehicle includes an elongate axle member adapted to rotatably receive wheels of a vehicle, a first arm member operatively associated with the axle member and flexibly connected, in use, to a chassis of the vehicle, a second arm member operatively associated with the axle member and flexibly connected, in use, to the chassis, and a first ram operatively associated with the first arm member and the axle member. The axle assembly is incorporated, in use, into a suspension system as a roll control component of the suspension system. The arrangement is such that when expansion or contraction of the ram is restricted, rotation of the axle member relative to the first arm member is restricted and roll of the vehicle is resisted, and when expansion or contraction of the ram is permitted, rotation of the axle member relative to the first arm member is permitted and articulation of the axle member is permitted.

    摘要: A vehicle suspension control system that allows substantially vertical motion of each wheel relative to the vehicle body includes front and rear resilient support means for supporting the body, a front roll stabilization assembly interconnecting at least one forward pair of wheels and a rear roll stabilization assembly interconnecting at least one rearward pair of wheels. Each roll stabilization assembly includes at least one lateral torsion bar (2) and a double-acting hydraulic actuator (3) interconnected to the at least one lateral torsion bar (2), the front and rear hydraulic actuators (3) being interconnected by first and second fluid conduits (5). Roll moments applied to the vehicle body generate pressure within the fluid conduits (5) thereby transmitting the roll moment into each lateral torsion bar (2). Warp motions of the wheels generate flow along the fluid conduits (5) resulting in a displacement of one hydraulic actuator (3) in a proportional and opposite direction to the other hydraulic actuator (3). The front and rear roll stabilization assemblies provide roll stiffness during both roll and warp motions while at the same time providing substantially zero warp stiffness. The system includes an hydraulic fluid supply means (12) and fluid conduit valve means (13) for selectively communicating the fluid conduits (5) with the hydraulic fluid supply means (12) to regulate the average pressure in both fluid conduits (5).

    摘要: Vehicle suspension movements are transmitted to an anti-roll mechanism which is pivotally mounted on the vehicle for movement about the pitch axis thereof to accommodate normal ride motion of the vehicle in which wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle move equally. Vehicle roll is controlled by an anti-roll mechanism includes a torsion bar which is loaded by the suspension movement. Roll stiffness is controlled by adjusting the lever arm through which suspension movement is transmitted to the torsion bar by a lever arrangement commonly referred to as a Watt's link to assure that the change in the length of the lever arm is directly proportional to the change in the control in the cockpit. Accordingly, linear control is assured, and the torsion bar and lever arms do not appreciable deflect during cornering.

    摘要: A suspension system is provided for a vehicle having a chassis supported on at least one front pair of laterally spaced wheels and at least one rear pair of laterally spaced wheels. The suspension system includes vehicle support devices for supporting the chassis above each pair of wheels, and roll moment reaction devices for providing location of the chassis about a substantially level roll attitude. The roll moment reaction devices include a respective roll attitude control mechanism for each pair of laterally spaced wheels for passively controlling the position of the wheels relative to each other and the chassis. Each roll attitude control mechanism is connected to at least one other roll attitude control mechanism by roll mechanism interconnection devices. The roll mechanism interconnection devices are arranged such that the roll moment reaction devices resist roll of the vehicle chassis with respect to the wheels, while simultaneously permitting cross-axle articulation motions of the wheels. The vehicle support devices for at least one pair of wheels include at least a first support for supporting at least a portion of the load on the vehicle support devices. The first support provides substantially zero roll stiffness of the vehicle. The roll moment reaction devices are separate devices from the vehicle support devices, thereby providing substantially zero load carrying capacity.

    摘要: A rear suspension having an axle with a generally U-shaped or V-shaped twist beam is provided. The twist beam on its extreme ends is penetrated by the corresponding control arms. The control arms of the present invention penetrate through apertures provided into the twist beam. The first and second walls of the twist beam are brought toward one another to allow the control arm to penetrate through the respective first and second apertures provided in the walls of the twist beam. After insertion through the walls of the twist axle, the twist axle is allowed to angularly expand again to its free state wherein it locks the twist beam to the control arm. A slight weld may be added to further ensure the connection of the control arm to the twist beam.
