ABSTRACT:
A low band width passive vehicle suspension system for utilization with land vehicles which includes a shock absorber of the cylinder-piston type suspended between each wheel of the vehicle and its chassis. The piston divides the cylinder into a pair of chambers and the chambers are interconnected with a bypass passageway within which there is mounted a variable orifice controlled by a moveable valve. Sensors are mounted on each wheel to detect movement thereof as well as acceleration roll and pitch sensors being mounted on the vehicle. Fluidic signals are developed by each of the sensors and are applied through a fluidic circuit for application to the valve structure controlling the variable orifice. By control of the orifice, the characteristics thereof are changed to in turn change the damping characteristics of each of the shock absorbing units to thereby stabilize the vehicle.
