What is Car Suspension?
1 Answers
Car suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car frame and the axle or wheels. It consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, buffer blocks, and a lateral stabilizer bar. It can be classified into: 1. Passive suspension systems and active suspension systems based on different control forms; 2. Independent suspension systems and non-independent suspension systems based on different guiding mechanisms of the car. The functions of car suspension are: 1. Transmitting forces and torque between the wheels and the frame; 2. Buffering the impact and vibrations transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body; 3. Ensuring that the wheels move within a fixed angle to maintain steering stability; 4. Supporting the weight of the wheels; 5. Maintaining good contact between the wheels and the ground.
