Abstract
A single axle suspension system that includes right and left dampers, first and second hydraulic circuits, a first pressurizing mechanism that is connected in fluid communication with the first hydraulic circuit, and a second pressurizing mechanism that is connected in fluid communication with the second hydraulic circuit. The first and second pressurizing mechanisms are configured to provide active roll control by adding and removing hydraulic fluid to and from the first and second hydraulic circuits to increase and decrease pressure inside the first and second hydraulic circuits independent of damper movements. This in turn causes a simultaneous increase in the fluid pressure inside either the first working chamber of the right and the second working chamber of the left damper or the first working chamber of the left damper and the second working chambers of the right damper to provide roll stiffness that counters vehicle roll during cornering.
