SINGLE AXLE ROLL CONTROL SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES A DUAL CHAMBER BALL-SCREW MECHANISM

A single axle suspension system including right and left dampers, first and second hydraulic circuits, and a first pressurizing mechanism connected in fluid communication with the first and second hydraulic circuits. The first pressurizing mechanism includes a dual chamber ball/screw mechanism to adjust the volumetric capacity of a pair of first and second variable volume chambers that are arranged in fluid communication with the first and second hydraulic circuits. Thus, the first pressurizing mechanism provides roll control by generating a pressure differential between the first and second hydraulic circuits, which causes an increase in the fluid pressure inside either the first working chamber of the right damper and the second working chamber of the left damper or inside the first working chamber of the left damper and the second working chambers of the right damper to provide roll stiffness that counters vehicle roll during cornering.
