In some embodiments, a system can include an integrated wheel module coupled to a rim of a tire and to a structure of a vehicle. The integrated wheel module can include control electronics and a power supply. The integrated wheel module may further include a plurality of electric motors, including a first motor responsive to the control electronics and configured to rotate the tire about an axis; a second motor responsive to the control electronics and configured to turn the tire about a pivot point; a third motor responsive to the control electronics and configured to continuously and dynamically adjust a camber of the tire; a fourth motor responsive to the control electronics and configured to continuously and dynamically adjust a suspension associated with the tire; and a fifth motor configured to adjust the suspension spring in accordance with the load, conditions and optimum performance desired.

In some embodiments, an apparatus may include a frame structure including a first end configured to couple to a frame of a vehicle and including a second end. The second end includes an upper attachment element and a lower attachment element. The apparatus further includes a camber housing coupled between the lower attachment element and a wheel. The camber housing includes a guide element and configured to pivot about the lower attachment element. The apparatus includes a slider coupled to the upper attachment element and configured to move along the guide element to provide a dynamically and continuously variable adjustable camber angle.

A machine includes a chassis, a plurality of ground engaging elements supporting the chassis above a ground surface, a motor for driving at least one of the ground engaging elements and a plurality of assemblies supporting the chassis on the ground engaging elements. Each of the assemblies is configured to selectively raise and lower the chassis relative to the ground surface and includes a first attachment component for attaching the assembly to one of the ground engaging elements, a second attachment component for attaching the assembly to the chassis, an adjustment component for shifting the first attachment component between a plurality of operating positions relative to the second attachment component. A control system allows an operator to remotely control the adjustment components of each of the assemblies.

A vehicle shock absorber system configured with more than one pressure cylinder that provides advantageous damping characteristics for different loads. There is provided a vehicle shock absorber system having a primary pressure cylinder including upper and lower primary chambers separated by a primary piston head, an auxiliary pressure cylinder including upper and lower auxiliary chambers separated by an auxiliary piston head, a first connection conduit connecting the upper primary chamber and the upper auxiliary chamber, a second connection conduit connecting the lower primary chamber and the lower auxiliary chamber, and a cylinder valve arrangement configured to regulate fluid flow to the auxiliary pressure cylinder.

An assembly for supporting a vehicle chassis on a wheel of the vehicle includes a wheel attachment component for attaching the assembly to a wheel, a chassis attachment component for pivotably attaching the assembly to a chassis of the vehicle, and a suspension component operably interposed between the wheel attachment component and the chassis attachment component. A first adjustment element is coupled with the chassis attachment component and coupled with a first portion of the suspension component, and a second adjustment element is coupled with the chassis attachment component and coupled with the first portion of the suspension component. The first and second adjustment elements are configured to shift the first portion of the suspension component between a plurality of operating positions relative to the chassis attachment component. A single strut bar slidingly engages the wheel attachment component and is rigidly coupled with a second portion of the suspension component.

An assembly for supporting a vehicle chassis on a wheel of the vehicle includes a wheel attachment component for attaching the assembly to the wheel, a chassis attachment component for attaching the assembly to the vehicle chassis, and a suspension component. At least one adjustment element is coupled with the chassis attachment component and with a first portion of the suspension component, and is configured to shift the first portion of the suspension element between a plurality of operating positions relative to the chassis attachment component. A single strut bar is rigidly coupled with the wheel attachment component and with a second portion of the suspension component, and is configured to pivot relative to the chassis attachment component. The suspension component is configured to regulate motion transfer between the wheel attachment component and the chassis attachment component.

A motion control system includes an absorber fixed relative to an axis, a spring fixed relative to the axis, and a mass coupled to the absorber and the spring and configured to move relative to the axis. The spring is configured to bias the mass toward a neutral position and with the absorber configured to dampen movement of the mass. The mass includes an internal surface and an external surface spaced from the internal surface. The external surface extends between a first end and a second end, with the first end closer to the axis than the second end. At least a portion of the external surface tapers away from the axis and toward the internal surface further from the first end to direct debris away from the axis.
