The Difference Between Compound Torsion Beam and Torsion Beam
1 Answers
The main difference between a compound torsion beam and a torsion beam is that the compound torsion beam rear suspension includes an additional composite torsion beam, which ensures comfort while providing optimal handling performance. Most new car models now adopt this type of suspension. Below is an introduction to shock absorbers and suspension systems: 1. Introduction to Shock Absorbers: Shock absorbers are primarily used to dampen the oscillations from the rebound of springs after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road. When driving on uneven surfaces, although the shock-absorbing springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still undergo reciprocating motion, and the shock absorbers are designed to suppress this spring bounce. If the shock absorbers are too soft, the car body will bounce up and down; if they are too hard, they will create excessive resistance, hindering the normal operation of the springs. 2. Introduction to Suspension Systems: A car's suspension system is divided into two types: non-independent suspension and independent suspension. In a non-independent suspension, the wheels are mounted at both ends of a solid axle, so when one wheel moves, the other wheel also moves accordingly, causing the entire car body to vibrate or tilt. In an independent suspension, the axle is split into two sections, with each wheel independently installed under the frame via a coil spring. When one wheel moves, the other wheel is unaffected, allowing both wheels to move independently, thereby improving the car's stability and comfort.
