A shock absorber includes a first end fitting connected to a first telescoping member, a second end fitting connected to a second telescoping member, the first and second telescoping members being telescopically mounted relative to each other. An elastomeric spring/damper is disposed between the first telescoping member and the second telescoping member.

A damping control device for a vehicle calculates a weighted sum of a first control force of feedforward control and a second control force of feedback control as a target value of a damping control force. When a degree of a deviation of a path of a rear wheel from a path of a front wheel is larger than a predetermined first degree, the damping control device sets a weight for the second control force to be larger than a weight for the first control force in the weighted sum.

A vehicle suspension device includes a wheel body on which a wheel and tire unit is mounted, a steering drive unit configured to transmit a driving force to rotate the wheel body in a lateral direction of a vehicle body, so that the wheel and tire unit rotates together with the wheel body, and a wheel moving unit disposed on the vehicle body to be movable in a front-back direction, configured such that a position thereof changes in a top-bottom direction, and connected to the wheel body to support the wheel body, so that a position of the wheel body is changed in response to the wheel moving unit moving in the front-back direction and changing the position in the top-bottom direction.

An electromechanical brake system having a suspension control function. The electromechanical brake system includes: an electromechanical brake connected to each wheel of a vehicle to brake the vehicle, a suspension configured to control suspension of the vehicle, a motor configured to provide driving force to the electromechanical brake or to the suspension, a first clutch configured to connect the electromechanical brake and the motor to each other, a second clutch configured to connect the suspension and the motor to each other, and a controller configured to output a control signal for controlling the motor to be connected to one of the first clutch and the second clutch based on a state signal of the vehicle.

An omnidirectional moving device is provided with a vehicle chassis, a vehicle body, a universal coupling, and an attitude stabilizing system. In the vehicle chassis, a plurality of wheels that are capable of moving omnidirectionally are provided. The vehicle body is mounted on the vehicle chassis. The universal coupling connects the vehicle chassis to the vehicle body, and the attitude of the vehicle body relative to the vehicle chassis can be changed via this universal coupling. The attitude stabilizing system causes the vehicle chassis to move in a direction that corresponds to a change in the attitude of the vehicle body, and maintains the attitude stability of the vehicle body.

The invention relates to a lifting machine (1) comprising a lifting arm (3), a rolling chassis (2) equipped with at least one front axle (5) and one rear axle (6), and a sensor for measuring the tilt of the lifting arm (3) in relation to the chassis (2), the rear axle (6) being pivotably mounted around an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine (1). The rear pivoting axle (6) is mounted to freely pivot inside an angular range defined by two abutments supported by said chassis (2), the front axle (5) is coupled to the chassis (2) by a pivoting connection with an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine (1) and is equipped with an activatable/deactivatable suspension (9) in order to allow the relative pivoting between the front axle (5) and the chassis (2) to be damped, said suspension (9) being deactivated at least when the angle value measured by sensor (4) for measuring the tilt of the lifting arm (3) is greater than a predetermined threshold value.

A vehicle suspension device includes a wheel body on which a wheel and tire unit is mounted, a steering drive unit configured to transmit a driving force to rotate the wheel body in a lateral direction of a vehicle body, so that the wheel and tire unit rotates together with the wheel body, and a wheel moving unit disposed on the vehicle body to be movable in a front-back direction, configured such that a position thereof changes in a top-bottom direction, and connected to the wheel body to support the wheel body, so that a position of the wheel body is changed in response to the wheel moving unit moving in the front-back direction and changing the position in the top-bottom direction.

A skid-steer delivery autonomous ground vehicle has a drive train and suspension that aids in maneuverability. The AGV has six wheels, each of which is powered by its own motor. The AGV has features that diminish the dragging effect on the wheels, either by choice of wheel features or by taking weight off the front wheels during turning.
