  • Publication number: 20240416711
    Abstract: A damping arrangement of an active chassis for an axle of a motor vehicle, wherein a damping system cooperates with each wheel of the axle. Each of the damping systems includes a damper having a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and a piston. The damper is couplable to a wheel suspension system of the respective wheel. A hydraulic pump and an electric motor drives the respective hydraulic pump, wherein the hydraulic pump is driven by the electric motor in different directions of rotation to provide different conveying directions. A hydraulic unit includes a hydraulic reservoir and valves, wherein the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic unit of the respective damping system cooperate with hydraulic chambers of the hydraulic cylinder of the respective damping system, such that, depending on the conveying direction of the hydraulic pump, a movement of the piston in either a first or second actuation direction can be provided.
