Distributing valve for hydropneumatic suspension - has separate valve body for each suspension unit and including lateral bore for respective ends of balance arm

摘要

The distributing valve is used in connection with levelling controls of hydropneumatic wheel suspensions. The valve is fitted in series into the circuit after the high pressure pump. The pressurized fluid from the pump enters the valve housing and is directed to the hydropneumatic suspension units. - Inside the housing the valve bodies are provided with axial and lateral bores. Near to the top, the valve bodies are fitted with lateral bores into which the ends of balance arm. The tops of both valve bodies are loaded by springs which tend to move the bodies in closing direction. The springs may have different characteristics in order to give preference to one or ther other outlet connection in respect of hydraulic fluid supply.
