Abstract
The invention is directed toward a hydropneumatic suspension and a method involved in controlling such a hydropneumatic suspension as is used in relation to cross-country motor vehicles, which, in spite of being of a simple, inexpensive and repair-friendly structure, makes it possible to take account of both static and also dynamic factors and which in addition permits both manual and also automatic control. The hydropneumatic suspension, such as for motor vehicles, has at least two hydropneumatic springs which are in flow communication with each and also with a metering cylinder by way of a load distribution unit which is distinguished in that the load distribution unit has at least the following switching positions; flow separation of the hydropneumatic springs, flow communication only of the two connected hydropneumatic springs with each other, and flow communication of the two hydropneumatic springs and the metering cylinder with each other.
