  • Patent number: 10961667
    Abstract: A paver includes a main vehicle body and a set of fore-wheels. The set of fore-wheels is connected to the main vehicle body via a hydraulic wheel suspension system which, in at least a paving mode of the paver, allows hydraulic level compensation for each wheel of the set of fore-wheels. The paver further includes a hydraulic motion control assembly adapted to selectively provide hydraulic spring suspension and/or hydraulic dampening to at least one wheel of the set of fore-wheels.

  • Patent number: 9926005
    Abstract: A pressurized medium assembly includes a first working chamber and a second working chamber. The first and second working chambers are adapted to together produce a load. The pressurized medium assembly includes a first control arrangement adapted to provide a fluid communication between the first working chamber and a pressure line in an on/off manner. The pressurized medium assembly further includes a second control arrangement adapted to provide a fluid communication between the second working chamber and a pressure line. The second control arrangement is adapted to proportionally regulate the pressure in the second working chamber.

  • Patent number: 9863449
    Abstract: A hydraulic system for a working machine includes a hydraulic actuator and a first hydraulic machine for supplying fluid to the hydraulic actuator. The hydraulic system further includes a hydraulic transformer for supplying fluid to the hydraulic actuator in parallel with the first hydraulic machine, and an accumulator for fluid. The hydraulic transformer includes a first port and a second port and the transformer is adapted to transform a first pressure and a first flow at the first port to a second pressure and a second flow at the second port. The second port of the hydraulic transformer is in fluid communication with the hydraulic actuator and the first port is in communication with the accumulator.
