SUSPENSION DEVICE AND ASSEMBLY METHOD THEREFOR
A suspension device has an upper shell having a stepped section around an inner circumferential surface; a lower shell; a ball screw shaft rotatably supported by the upper shell; a bearing unit arranged between a part of the ball screw shaft and the upper shell, and having an outer side part in a radial direction including a side surface that comes in contact with a side surface on the other side in the axial direction of the stepped section; a ball nut screwed on the ball screw shaft; an inner tube joined to the lower shell and the ball nut; an electric motor; and a coil spring, and a circumscribed circle diameter of the ball nut and the inner tube is less than an inner diameter dimension of the stepped section.
Turning device
A turning device includes: a motor configured to generate a drive force for independently steering a steered wheel; a speed reducer connected to a rotary shaft body of the motor; and a brake configured to suppress transfer of torque between the motor and the speed reducer.
Roll stabilizer and use of a roll stabilizer in a motor vehicle
A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle having a housing (137, 237) with a first stabilizer element (110, 210) coupled to the housing and an electric motor (150, 250) located in the housing (137, 237). The transmission (160, 260) is coupled to the electric motor (150, 250) on a drive side, and the output side of the transmission (160, 260) is coupled to a second stabilizer element (115, 215) such that the stabilizer elements are electromechanically rotatable with respect to one another. The electric motor is designed as a Vernier motor.
VEHICLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT DEVICE
A vehicle height adjustment device includes a changer, a vehicle height controller, and a malfunction detector. The changer is drivable when supplied with a current and configured to change a relative position of a body of a vehicle relative to an axle of a wheel of the vehicle. The vehicle height controller is configured to perform such control that a target current set based on the relative position is supplied to the changer so as to control a vehicle height, which is a height of the body of the vehicle. The malfunction detector is configured to detect a failure to make the target current flow to the changer.
Vehicle Suspension Control System With High Flow Exhaust Mechanization
An air management system for a vehicle. The air management system includes at least one air spring. A compressor is provided for filling the air spring. A central air line is fluidly connected to the air spring and the compressor. At least one spring air line extends between the central air line and the air spring. At least one suspension valve is disposed along the spring air line. At least one auxiliary air line extends between the spring air line and the central air line. At least one high flow exhaust valve is disposed along the auxiliary air line. At least one isolation check valve is disposed in series with the high flow exhaust along the spring air line. The isolation check valve allows air to pass through therethrough from the air spring to the central air line while preventing air from passing therethrough from the central air line to the air spring.
VEHICLE-HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
A vehicle-height control system includes: a vehicle-height control actuator; a pressure-medium supply and discharge device configured to supply and discharge a pressure medium; and a vehicle height controller configured to control a vehicle height by controlling the pressure-medium supply and discharge device. The pressure-medium supply and discharge device includes a compressor and a tank configured to contain a pressure medium supplied from the compressor. The vehicle height controller includes a down controller configured to operate the compressor to discharge and supply the pressure medium from the vehicle-height control actuator to the tank to lower the vehicle height when a tank pressure is less than a set pressure. The down controller is configured to discharge the pressure medium from the vehicle-height control actuator to an outside to lower the vehicle height when the tank pressure is greater than or equal to the set pressure.
VEHICLE-HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
A vehicle-height control system is configured to control a vehicle height for a wheel. The vehicle-height control system includes: a vehicle-height control actuator provided so as to correspond to the wheel; a pressure-medium supply and discharge device configured to supply and discharge a pressure medium to and from the vehicle-height control actuator; and a vehicle height controller configured to control the vehicle height for the wheel by controlling the pressure-medium supply and discharge device based on an inside temperature and an outside-air temperature to control at least one of supply and discharge of the pressure medium to and from the vehicle-height control actuator. The inside temperature is a temperature in the vehicle-height control system.
Vehicle seat or vehicle cab with a suspension system, and utility vehicle
The invention relates to a vehicle seat or a vehicle cab with a suspension system comprising an upper closing part and a lower closing part which is deflectable in relation to the upper closing part, which closing parts are operatively connected to each other in a resilient manner by means of a suspension element, and with a damping system for damping vibrations acting on at least one of the two closing parts, wherein an electromagnetically acting damping and height-levelling unit is provided which is arranged between the two closing parts in such a manner that said damping and height-levelling unit acts on the upper of the two closing parts in the vertical direction of the vehicle both in a vibration-insulating and also height-levelling manner.
VEHICLE ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACTION MANAGEMENT
A vehicle includes a chassis, an axle, and a sway bar assembly coupled between the chassis and the axle. At least one actuator is configured to move the sway bar assembly relative to the axle to thereby move at least a portion of the chassis toward or away from the axle to adjust an attitude of the vehicle.
Electric suspension device
Provided is an electric suspension device including an electromagnetic actuator that is provided between a body and wheel of a vehicle and generates damping force for damping vibration of the body. It includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires information on the vehicle's sprung speed, pitch rate, and roll rate; a bounce target value computation unit that computes a bounce target value for controlling the vehicle's bounce orientation based on the sprung speed; a pitch target value computation unit that computes a pitch target value for controlling the vehicle's pitch orientation based on the pitch rate; a roll target value computation unit that computes a roll target value for controlling the vehicle's roll orientation based on the roll rate; and a driving control unit that controls driving of the actuator with a control target load which is based on a sum of the bounce, pitch, and roll target values.
