Definition of Automotive Suspension?
1 Answers
Suspension refers to the collective term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame (or unibody) and the axles (or wheels). Here is more information about automotive suspension: 1. Composition of suspension. The suspension consists of three main components: elastic elements, guiding devices, and shock absorbers. 2. Classification of suspension. Based on the basic form of their guiding devices, suspensions can be divided into two major categories: dependent suspension and independent suspension. 3. Function of suspension. Its role is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while also cushioning the impacts transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth vehicle operation.
