Pressure-balanced Boom Suspension

Description
This is a self-contained hydraulic integrated circuit built to enhance stability and provide
dynamic ride control in loaders while travelling with a loaded bucket. The boom suspension
systems works with an external accumulator and engages during travel to cushion the boom
from jarring shocks and bouncing that can spill the load. This system uses load-balancing
technology to keep the accumulator charged at a level dynamically matching the load, and
can be disengaged when scooping, lifting, or dragging. It allows smooth engagement and
disengagement without the momentary load movement that troubles other systems.

Operation
Solenoid valves SV1 and SV2 connect the boom cylinder(s) piston end (BASE) to the
accumulator, and rod end (ROD) to the reservoir through orifice ORF2. Pressure-balance
valve PB1 charges the accumulator to the appropriate level based on pilot signal from the
boom cylinder(s). Disengaging the solenoid valves isolates the accumulator from the boom
cylinder(s), but allows it to continue to maintain a load-based charge when not in use. This
prevents unexpected sudden load movement as the system is engaged. Pressure balance
valve PB1 also discharges the accumulator as needed to match the load.

Features
• Smoother ride control with the bucket loaded and elevated
• Can be disengaged when lifting, scooping, or dragging
• Secure load-holding
• Load does not move when engaged
• Continually balances the accumulator load
• Suitable for most compact wheel loaders, skid-steer loaders, and tractor/loader/backhoe machines
