What are the classifications of suspension systems?
1 Answers
The classifications of suspension systems are: 1. Based on the control form, they are divided into passive suspension systems and active suspension systems; 2. Based on the vehicle's guiding mechanism, they can be classified into independent suspension systems and non-independent suspension systems. The suspension system is the general term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame and the axle or wheels, consisting of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, buffer blocks, and lateral stabilizer bars. The functions of the suspension system are: 1. To transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame; 2. To buffer the impact forces and vibrations transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body; 3. To ensure the wheels move within a fixed angle, maintaining stable steering; 4. To support the weight of the wheels; 5. To maintain good contact between the wheels and the ground.
