  2. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

    These cars maintain an exact height over the road when the engine is on - height control valves attached to the roll bars via linkages would open to add or drain fluid from the suspension, and when the desired height was reached the valve would automatically close due to its design. [6]

  3. Height adjustable suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_adjustable_suspension

    Height adjustable suspension is a feature of certain automobile suspension systems that allow the motorist to vary the ride height or ground clearance. This can be done for various reasons including giving better ground clearance over rough terrain, a lower ground clearance to improve performance and fuel economy at high speed, [1] or for stylistic reasons.

  4. Air suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

    a series of 6 mm air pipes which channel air throughout the system (mainly from the storage tank to the air springs via the valve block) an air drier canister containing desiccant; height sensors ideally on all 4 vehicle corners based, typically, on resistive contact sensing to give an absolute height reference for each corner of the vehicle.

  5. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    It is the simplest damper and one of the most efficient. Ride height correction (self leveling) is achieved by height corrector valves connected to the anti-roll bar, front and rear. When the car is too low, the height corrector valve opens to allow more fluid into the suspension cylinder (e.g., the car is loaded).

  6. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.

  7. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

    Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator An air-operated valve , also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid .

  8. Scotch yoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_yoke

    This setup is most commonly used in control valve actuators in high-pressure oil and gas pipelines. Although not a common metalworking machine nowadays, crude shapers can use Scotch yokes. Almost all those use a Whitworth linkage , which gives a slow speed forward cutting stroke and a faster return.

  9. Level control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_control_valve

    A level control valve or altitude control valve is a type of valve that automatically responds to changes in the height of a liquid in some storage system. A common example is the set of ballcocks in a flush toilet , where each stage of the flush cycle is actuated by the emptying or filling of the tank.
