Abstract

A vehicle suspension for motor vehicles in which a semi-active suspension is combined with an active suspension to make a novel suspension. The pump power of the active suspension, however, is designed merely for overcoming the necessary frictional forces. The advantage is that for such a vehicle suspension, a lightweight pump of low power, small diameter lines, and a small 4/3-way magnetic valve requiring little current can be used.
