Patent number: 12023978Abstract: Methods and systems for hydraulic vehicle suspension are provided. A hydraulic suspension system, in one example, includes a first manifold including a piston-side interface and a rod-side interface fluidically coupled to a piston chamber and a rod chamber, respectively, for each of a first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder. In the system, the first manifold includes a first electrically activated valve fluidically coupled to the piston-side interfaces, a first damping device, and a second damping device, the first electrically activated valve is configured to lock and unlock vertical motion of the first and second hydraulic cylinders and, while vertical motion of the first and second hydraulic cylinders is locked, the first electrically activated valve permits fluidic communication between the first and second hydraulic cylinders to permit free roll motion in the hydraulic suspension system.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2023Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: DANA MOTION SYSTEMS ITALIA S.R.L.Inventors: Alessandro Benevelli, Stefano Fasano, Daniele Dodi

Publication number: 20230349397Abstract: The present document relates to a hydraulic system having a first hydraulic pump, a second hydraulic pump, at least one hydraulic actuator, a low-pressure tank, and a pressure controlled flow compensating valve. A high-pressure port of the first hydraulic pump and a high-pressure port of the second hydraulic pump are fluidly connected or fluidly connectable to the at least one hydraulic actuator. The high-pressure port of the second hydraulic pump is selectively fluidly connectable to the low-pressure tank via the flow compensating valve. The flow compensating valve is controllable by or based on one or more of: a hydraulic pressure provided by the first hydraulic pump, a hydraulic pressure provided by the second hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic pressure at a fluid port of the at least one hydraulic actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Dana Motion Systems Italia S.r.l.Inventors: Stefano FASANO, Daniele DODI, Bartoli MAURIZIO, Alessandro SASSI
