AN INCLINATION-ENABLING WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR VEHICLES

A wheel suspension (10) for a vehicle with a load-bearing vehicle element (14) comprises at least one pair of single-arm wishbones (12A,12B). Each single-arm wishbone (12A,12B) is assigned a hydraulic cylinder (18A,18B) which is articulated to the single-arm wishbone (12A,12B) and/or to the load-bearing vehicle element (14). Each hydraulic cylinder (18A,18B) is divided fluid-tightly into two chambers by a movable piston (25A,25B). A first chamber (26A-1,26B-1) of the hydraulic cylinder (18A,18B) is characterized by an active function and a second chamber (26A-2,26B-2) of the same hydraulic cylinder (18A,18B) is characterized by a passive function. The active chamber (26A-1,26B-1) is liquid-filled. The active chambers (26A-1,26B-1) of a single-arm wishbone pair (12A,12B) communicate with each other via a fluid line (28) in a closed system. The passive chamber (26A-2,26B-2) is fluid-filled, wherein the fluid in the passive chamber (26A-2,26B-2) exerts a force on the back side of the piston (25A,25B) which corresponds substantially to the force exerted by the pressure of ambient air and thereby insignificantly influences positions of the piston (25A,25B).
