ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for dynamically leveling the attitude of a vehicle using a low power fully active suspension system. The apparatus connects the suspension and body of the vehicle and includes a hydraulic damper having a pressure cylinder forming a working chamber in which a piston and rod assembly is movably disposed. The apparatus further comprises a flow control device fluidly communicating with the working chamber on one side of the piston for adding and exhausting damping fluid therefrom to a central pressure source, and an accumulator fluidly communicating with the working chamber on the opposite side of the piston. The apparatus having flow restriction valving for selectively controlling the flow of fluid with said working chamber. The flow restriction valving located between the flow control device and the accumulator. The lower power fully active suspension system is adapted to produce a desired suspension force output through selective actuation of the flow control device and the flow restriction valving for limiting the duty cycle and power requirements of the central pressure source.
