System, method, and assembly for controlling a vehicle. In one example, the system includes a first suspension system and a first controller. The first controller is configured to receive an input signal representing vehicle operating parameters. The first controller is also configured to receive a first target displacement determined by a second controller for a second suspension system of the vehicle. The first controller is further configured to determine a second target displacement for the first suspension system of the vehicle based on the first target displacement and the input signal. The first controller is also configured to set a height of the first suspension system based on the second target displacement.

Electromechanical apparatuses for controlling vehicle suspension settings. Described herein are electromechanical apparatuses for controlling wheel alignment (e.g., camber, castor and/or toe). In particular, described herein are camber adjusting apparatuses for electromechanically adjusting camber or camber and toe that may be retrofitted onto existing vehicle suspensions.

An improved adaptive stabilizer bar is provided. The stabilizer bar includes a cycloidal drive between first and second portions of a divided torsion bar. The cycloidal drive includes a cycloidal gear assembly that provides a significant mechanical advantage, allowing relatively small electric motors to be used. In addition, the cycloidal gear assembly has a relatively small physical footprint, particularly when compared to a planetary gear assembly, for example.

An active suspension system comprises at least one biasing device configured to support a body from a structure, and at least one motor. A magnetorheological (MR) fluid clutch apparatus(es) is coupled to the at least one motor to receive torque from the motor, the MR fluid clutch apparatus controllable to transmit a variable amount of torque. A mechanism is between the at least one MR fluid clutch apparatus and the body to convert the torque received from the at least one MR fluid clutch apparatus into a force on the body. Sensor(s) provide information indicative of a state of the body or structure. A controller receives the information indicative of the state of the body or structure and for outputting a signal to control the at least one MR fluid clutch apparatus in exerting a desired force on the body to control movement of the body according to a desired movement behavior.

A vehicle behavior control device includes: an ith suspension mounted on an ith wheel of a vehicle (where i=1 to 3); a fourth suspension mounted on a fourth wheel; and a controller. The ith suspension includes an ith actuator. The controller converts a required value of a behavior parameter to an ith required control force for the ith actuator. When a kth required control force (k is any of 1 to 3) is greater than a kth output range according to an output capability of a kth actuator, the controller performs a required control force reduction process of reducing all of first to third required control forces, and controls the ith actuator based on the ith required control force after the required control force reduction process.

The present disclosure relates to a flotation system for swathing rakes, attachable to a baler. It includes a support structure configured to be connected to a baler and to a displacement means; at least one arm including a first end connected to a swathing rake and a second end connected, by means of a hinged articulated joint, to the support structure; the swathing rake; the hinged articulated joint and a flotation cylinder joined to the support structure and to the arm configured such that it acts in traction, absorbing a part of the weight of the arm, and therefore of the swathing rake joined thereto. It also includes support and displacement means and a suspension system for said means.

An apparatus, a system, and a method are for facilitating movement of an object. The apparatus has a bearing body provided with an engagement means; a wheel operatively connected to the bearing body via an arm that has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of the arm is rotatably connected to the bearing body; and a driving device that is directly or indirectly operatively connected to the bearing body and a portion of the arm that is at a distance from the first end portion of the arm, wherein the driving device is configured to rotate the arm and the wheel relative to the bearing body between a passive first position and an active second position. The engagement means of the bearing body is in the form of at least one protrusion arranged to be inserted into a forklift pocket arranged at a bottom portion of the object.
