Abstract: Hydraulic systems and methods for reducing the propagation of flow and/or pressure fluctuations within a hydraulic system with a differential buffer are described. A differential buffer may include a first internal volume, a second internal volume, and a barrier separating at least a portion of the first internal volume and at least a portion of the second internal volume. The barrier may move to mitigate pressure and/or flow fluctuations in the first internal volume and the second internal volume by passive destructive interference.

Abstract: Active suspension actuator systems including an actuator with a compression volume and an extension volume are described. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more flow control devices in fluid communication with the compression volume and/or the extension volume of the actuator. In some instances, a flow control device may include a pressure balanced blow-off valve (PBOV). In some embodiments, the system includes a high capacity bidirectional base valve. In some embodiments, two or more flow control devices cooperate to, for example, damp low amplitude oscillations in the extension and/or compression volumes, and to allow the build-up of pump generated differential pressures while discharging rapid road induced differential pressure spikes between the extension and compression volumes.
