ABSTRACT:
A hydropneumatic suspension unit includes a large diameter flanged road arm spindle which is bolted to the vehicle hull; a road arm has one end rotatably mounted on the road arm spindle and another end mounting a road wheel; a gravity oriented oil barrier is defined with a free volume enclosed within the road arm to submerge a sealing system for an in-arm mechanically operated pneumatic spring which has a gas volume trapped behind the oil barrier to support the sprung mass of the vehicle; the seal system is defined by a pair of spaced O-rings and a packing ring which seals the outer surface of a reciprocating rod that displaces the seal oil barrier to vary gas compression and produce a resultant force equivalent to pressure times the area of the rod to counteract vertical forces on the road wheel.
