New Generation of Hydro-Pneumatic Suspension Systems with Adaptive Damping

Higher demands on driving safety and comfort of vehicles of all types require that the machine manufacturers and development partners respond to these needs via a new form of partnership based cooperation. As development partner, WEBER-HYDRAULIK GmbH contributes its entire system competence to the implementation of hydraulic systems.

Just a few months ago, the market launch of a new generation of vehicles for plant protection (Challenger - RoGator 600 Series) took place. Apart from other highlights (four wheel steering, track-width adjustment) the sprayers were equipped with a revolutionary suspension system developed in cooperation with WEBER-HYDRAULIK Group. Some of the special features of the solution are:

• independent wheel suspension,
• working height, level and slope control
• adaptive damping characteristics for highest comfort
• anti-roll and pitch avoidance system.

The article will present the suspension system, its function and first results of the field tests.
