  • Suspension assembly for suspending a cabin of a truck or the like vehicle
    Patent number: 8991539
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension assembly (1) for suspending a cabin (2) of a truck or the like vehicle. The assembly comprises a plurality of spring members (4a-d) arranged between the cabin (2) and a chassis of the vehicle, and a torsion bar (5) extending between at least two of said spring members (4a-d) so as to increase the roll stiffness of the assembly. The assembly further comprises an actuator (6) with which a torsion angle of the torsion bar (5) can be adjusted allowing active roll stabilization of the cabin (2).
    Type: Grant

  • Active roll stabilization assembly and vehicle suspension provided therewith
    Patent number: 8857834
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ARS (active roll stabilization) assembly (1) for vehicles, as well as to a suspension system equipped with such ARS assembly. The assembly comprises a torsion bar (3) and an actuator (10) for adjusting a torsion angle of said torsion bar. The ARS assembly furthermore comprises an additional torsion bar (5). This additional torsion bar is arranged such that its torsion axis extends substantially parallel to the torsion axis of the first, adjustable torsion bar, or coincides therewith.
