ABSTRACT:
A self-pumping hydropneumatic spring strut includes an oil-filled working cylinder which is divided into two working spaces by a working piston carried by a hollow piston rod. Two high-pressure chambers connectable to the cylinder in such that the piston rod is selectively supported in both directions of movement either on a gas cushion provided by the first high-pressure chamber, the second high-pressure chamber, or both high-pressure chambers. Further, the spring strut includes a piston pump driven by the movements of the piston rod and for conveying oil from a low-pressure chamber to the working space which is connected to at least one of the high-pressure chambers. Moreover, a control channel connects the working space, which is connected to at least one of the high-pressure chambers, to the low-pressure chamber via a control opening, which can be closed as a function of the position of the working piston in the working cylinder.
