What is a Suspension Chassis?
1 Answers
Chassis suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle frame and the axle or wheels. Chassis suspension is further divided into non-independent chassis suspension and independent chassis suspension. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific classifications of chassis suspension: Non-independent Suspension: Non-independent suspension mounts the wheels at both ends of a solid axle. When one wheel moves or bounces, it affects the other wheel, causing the entire vehicle body to vibrate or tilt. Vehicles with this type of suspension system generally have poorer stability and comfort. However, due to its simple construction and high load-bearing capacity, this suspension is mostly used in trucks, ordinary buses, and some other special vehicles. Independent Suspension: Independent suspension splits the axle into two sections, with each wheel independently mounted under the frame using coil springs. This means that when one wheel bounces, the other wheel is unaffected. The advantage of independent suspension is that it significantly reduces vehicle body vibrations and greatly improves ride comfort, especially when driving on high-speed roads, where it also enhances driving stability.
