What is the Difference Between Primary Suspension and Secondary Suspension?
1 Answers
Primary suspension and secondary suspension difference: Different positions: Primary suspension is the damping device between the axle box and the frame, including vertical hydraulic dampers. Secondary suspension is the damping device between the frame and the car body underframe, including lateral hydraulic dampers and longitudinal friction dampers. Different key functions: The primary suspension system refers to the axle box suspension system between the wheelset and the frame, which serves to transmit forces between the axle box and wheelset and provides positioning. The secondary suspension system refers to the suspension system linking the frame and the car body, also including springs, dampers, and positioning mechanisms, which have a certain limiting effect on the car body's lateral roll.
