Dynamic Weight Management For A Vehicle Via Hydraulic Actuators
US Patent:
8468952, Jun 25, 2013
Filed:
Dec 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/982960
Inventors:

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
B61F 1/00
US Classification:
105209, 1051571, 1051995
Abstract:
Methods and system are provided for a vehicle truck assembly which includes a spring coupling an axle carrier to a truck frame. In one example, the system comprises a substantially vertically-mounted hydraulic actuator which generates hydraulic forces between the axle carrier and the truck frame. The actuator includes a cylinder, a piston, and a piston rod. Further, the actuator is coupled between the axle carrier and the truck frame with longitudinal and lateral play so that the axle carrier can move laterally and longitudinally with respect to the truck frame while the actuator applies hydraulic force.

International Classification:
B61D 1/00
US Classification:
1051571, 105166, 105168
Abstract:
Vehicle suspension systems including a truck and a spring system for an axle are provided. In one example, a truck includes an unpowered axle spring system that is configured to generate an overall unpowered axle separation force between a truck frame and an unpowered axle carrier. The overall unpowered axle separation force has a rate of decrease that increases past a first separation distance between the truck frame and the unpowered axle carrier. A powered axle spring system is configured to generate a powered axle separation force between the truck frame and a powered axle carrier. The powered axle separation force has a rate of decrease that decreases past a second separation distance between the truck frame and the powered axle carrier.
