What is the Difference Between Multi-Link and Torsion Beam?
1 Answers
The differences between multi-link and torsion beam are as follows: 1. Multi-link suspension is an independent suspension, while torsion beam suspension is a non-independent suspension. In an independent suspension, each wheel is individually connected to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system, whereas in a non-independent suspension, the body and tires are not directly connected. 2. The multi-link independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and damping springs. This type of suspension uses more links than a typical suspension. A four-link or five-link suspension is referred to as a multi-link independent suspension. 3. Due to the increased number of links used in this type of suspension, it allows the wheels to remain as perpendicular to the ground as possible, minimizing body roll to the greatest extent. This helps maintain excellent stability while driving. 4. The torsion beam non-independent suspension is not widely used in vehicles because this type of suspension has relatively high rigidity. The torsion beam independent suspension connects the two rear wheels of the vehicle on a single axle. When driving on rough road conditions, if one side of the wheel experiences jitter, the other side will also exhibit the same jitter phenomenon.
