A suspension module for supporting a vehicle chassis includes a module frame pivotably connected to an axle on the chassis and a wheelbox mounted to the wheel and slidingly coupled with the module frame by strut rods. The wheelbox and module frame pivot in unison with respect to the chassis, and the module frame is configured to move between a standard position and a high clearance position relative the wheelbox. The suspension module includes an adjustment actuator coupled with the module frame to shift the frame between the operating positions. The strut rods move from a first position in which bottom ends of the first and second strut rods are below the wheelbox when the module frame is in the standard position to a second position in which the bottom ends are in a higher position relative the first position when the module frame is in the high clearance position.

A motor vehicle wheel suspension, comprising a guide wheel having an outer jacket comprising a wheel attachment for the connection of the guide wheel to a rotation pin of a wheel. The guide wheel extends between opposite axial upper and lower ends in correspondence of which it comprises attachments for its connection to connection elements of an associated frame, wherein said outer jacket internally encloses a damper and a spring. The outer jacket, in correspondence of one of said axial upper and lower ends comprises a slot for realizing a first attachment to connection elements of the frame, said slot housing a pin axially guided by said slot, the slot connecting a cavity inside the outer jacket with said pin. The outer jacket, in correspondence of the other of said axial upper and lower ends comprises a tilting hinge for realizing a second attachment to connection elements of the frame.

A compact vehicle suspension system comprises a sliding ride motion guide having a fixed guide portion and a telescoping guide portion telescopically movable relative to one another. The sliding ride motion guide is fixed to a wheel hub knuckle via the fixed guide portion and is rotatably and structurally fixed via the telescoping guide portion at a top mount to a vehicle body. A coil over shock absorber is rotatably connected to a lower control arm at a first end and to the vehicle body at a second end. Arms of the fixed guide portion of the sliding ride motion guide may span the wheel hub knuckle to which a drive shaft may be connected. Vertical motion of the wheel is defined by a sliding axis of the sliding ride motion guide and an arc of the lower control arm.

In a four-wheel vehicle with vertically independently movable wheels (2, 2, 3, 3), diagonally opposite wheels (2, 2 or 3, 3) are connected to one another by respective cables (9, 90) guided over deflection rollers (11 to 15). The traction cable mounting makes it possible to adapt the height of the wheels in the event of equal loading of the individual wheels independently of the terrain.

The present invention relates to a motor wheel for a vehicle and a vehicle comprising the motor wheel. The motor wheel comprises a wheel, an electric motor, a reduction gear transmitting rotation from the electric motor to the wheel, and a dampening structure connecting the wheel to a vehicle bearing member. The electric motor comprises an electric motor case. The reduction gear comprises a reduction gear case coupled to the electric motor case and rotatably mounted within the wheel hub. The electric motor case is connected to the bearing member of the vehicle and is displaceable relative to the bearing member. The invention improves dynamic properties to the vehicle, reduces vibrations transmitted to the vehicle body, and provides a more comfortable drive.

A vehicle rear suspension system is provided which determines the movement of the rear wheels in relation to the chassis of the vehicle as the vehicle drives over irregular surfaces. Different components of a rear suspension act to limit or control the movement of the rear differential along specific directions or axes.

The invention relates to an axle suspension on a vehicle frame, comprising: an axle bracket which in its longitudinal direction is arranged transversely to the vehicle frame and at its longitudinal ends each is provided with a wheel carrier, a pendulum support which is connected with the axle bracket via a swivel bearing and is accommodated in a self-aligning bearing attached to the vehicle frame, wherein the swivel bearing has a swivel axis which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle frame.

An assembly for supporting a vehicle chassis on a wheel of the vehicle includes a frame pivotably connected to the vehicle chassis at a connection location and a wheel attachment component slidingly coupled with the frame. The wheel attachment component is positioned on a first side of the connection location and is configured to pivot in unison with the frame and to move between a plurality of operating positions relative to the frame. A suspension component regulates motion transfer between the frame and the attachment component and is positioned on a second side of the connection location opposite the attachment component. An adjustment actuator is configured to shift the attachment component between any of the plurality of operating positions relative to the frame. The adjustment actuator is functionally independent of the suspension component.

A roll control system for a corner module of a vehicle includes a knuckle that is coupled to a strut, positioned inside a wheel, and movable in upward and downward directions, a stopper that selectively moves in a downward direction and limits a range that the knuckle moves in the upward and downward directions, a power transmission unit that transmits power for moving the stopper in the downward direction, a clutch connected to the power transmission unit for transmitting a rotational force to the power transmission as a control motor is driven, and a controller electrically connected to the control motor for transmitting a power transmission signal to the control motor to control the stopper to selectively move in the upward and downward directions.

A suspension includes a knuckle to which a wheel of a vehicle is fastened, a steering drive portion connected to the knuckle, a lower arm positioned at a lower end portion of the steering drive portion and including a first end portion connected to the knuckle and a second end portion connected to a vehicle body frame, a connecting link including a first end portion connected to an upper end portion of the steering drive portion, an upper arm connected to a second end portion of the connecting link, a damper connecting the upper arm and the vehicle body frame, and a push rod including a first end portion connected to the upper arm and a second end portion connected to the lower arm.
