ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for an active suspension system provides independent control of each adjustable spring rate mechanism. Ride height, spring rate, and oscillation control are achieved with the use of transducers that send signals to a controller. The controller receives the signals and responsively generates signals to adjust pressure and flow between an accumulator and the adjustable spring rate mechanism.
