Abstract
A leveling control mechanism for motor vehicles includes an electric pump and a solenoid valve for raising and lowering the vehicle body and a leveling switch with an electronic damping device. The periodic measurement of the distance from the vehicle axle to the vehicle body is carried out by a mechanical-electrical converter, which converts the rotation of a shaft into an electrical signal. During acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle, as well as during the occurrence of centrifugal forces, suitably situated inertial switches inhibit the response of the leveling control mechanism.
