Hydropneumatic Suspension


Hydropneumatic Suspension
A suspension system in which each wheel assembly is supported on an arm operating a piston in a cylinder containing both air and liquid separated by a diaphragm, the oil content being supplied under control by an engine-driven pump and reservoir. Wheel units are interconnected and both suspension and damping are provided by the enforced movement of the liquid against the compressed air.
