  • Publication number: 20250222850
    Abstract: A fluid-based suspension system of a vehicle including a first suspension device comprising a movable first piston dividing a first cylinder into a first piston rod side chamber and a first piston side chamber. The fluid-based suspension system further including a second suspension device, comprising a movable second piston dividing a second cylinder into a second piston rod side chamber and a second piston side chamber, and a fluid connection system configured to set the fluid-based suspension system to one of a first and a second operating mode.

  • Patent number: 11821442
    Abstract: A hydraulic energy handling system for a working machine includes a high-pressure side; a low-pressure side; a hydraulic machine for mechanically driving, and being mechanically driven by, a mechanical driveline of the working machine; at least one high-pressure hydraulic energy storage connected to the high-pressure side; a hydraulic motor; a hydraulic pump arranged to supply hydraulic fluid to an inlet side of the hydraulic motor; and a return line for conducting hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic tank. The system further includes a pressure relief valve between the high-pressure side and the return line and arranged to discharge excess hydraulic energy from the high-pressure side to the return line to provide a braking force on the mechanical driveline; and a priority valve arrangement connected to an outlet side of the hydraulic motor to direct a prioritized flow of hydraulic fluid to the low-pressure side.

  • Patent number: 9850918
    Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a first and a second rotating hydraulic machine, the first and second hydraulic machine being arranged to provide a torque via a common output shaft; a first valve arrangement for providing a differential hydraulic pressure level over the first hydraulic machine by using two sources of hydraulic fluid having different hydraulic pressure levels, a second valve arrangement for providing a differential hydraulic pressure level over the second hydraulic machine by using two sources of hydraulic fluid having different hydraulic pressure levels; and a control unit configured to control the first valve arrangement and the second valve arrangement such that different discrete levels of torque are provided via the output shaft of the hydraulic system. A hydraulic system for providing different discrete levels of torque using one hydraulic machine and a plurality of differential pressure levels, and a method for controlling a hydraulic system, are also provided.
