Patent attributes
A roll control system for a vehicle including: two double-acting rams (1, 2) at the first end of the vehicle and two single acting rams (3, 4) at the second of the vehicle; each double-acting ram (1, 2) including a first and a second fluid chamber (17, 18, 21, 22); each single-acting ram (3, 4) including a first fluid chamber (19, 20); a first lateral conduit (27) providing fluid communication between the first fluid chamber (17, 18) of the double-acting ram (1, 2) on a first side of the vehicle and the second fluid chamber (21, 22) of the double-acting ram (1, 2) on a second side of the vehicle, a first longitudinal conduit (29) providing fluid communication between the first fluid chamber (19, 20) of the single-acting ram (3, 4) on the first side of the vehicle and the first lateral conduit (27), forming a first fluid circuit; a second lateral conduit (28) providing fluid communication between the first fluid chamber (17, 18) of the double-acting ram (1, 2) on the second side of the vehicle and the second fluid chamber (17, 18) of the double-acting ram (1, 2) on the first side of the vehicle, a second longitudinal conduit (30) providing fluid communication between the first fluid chamber (19, 20) of the single-acting ram (3, 4) on the second side of the vehicle and the second lateral conduit (28), forming a second fluid circuit; the roll control system thereby providing a roll stiffness with substantially no warp stiffness.
