Title:
ACTIVE SUSPENSION WITH ON-DEMAND ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/145215
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Various embodiments related to hydraulic actuators and active suspension systems as well as their methods of use are described. Hydraulic actuators have long been used for motion control including, for example, active suspension systems which apply energy to the active suspension in response to various loads applied to a wheel and/or associated vehicle body. In order to achieve a desired level of performance, an active suspension system needs to have energy either already present or capable of being provided at an appropriate time.
