SUSPENSION SYSTEM
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The suspension system is located between the body or frame and the wheels
and functions to absorb the surprises caused by road conditions, so as to provide comfort to the driver.
1. Component suspension
a. Spring
The spring functions to absorb shock from the road and vibrate the wheels
so as not to be forwarded directly to the body, also to prevent tire grip on the road surface.
b. Shock Absorber
In absorbing surprises, springs must work together
with a shock absorber. Without spring shock absorber
will vibrate up and down longer. Shock absorber can reduce
Instant spring vibration and throw it into heat energy.
c. Ball joint
Ball joints besides function as wheel rotation axes also accept vertical and lateral loads. in the ball joint
there is fat to lubricate the rubbing part. On each
certain periods of fat must be replaced.
Stabilizer bar
Stabilizer bar functions to reduce the slope of the car due to centrifugal force when the car turns. Besides that, to increase the tire trace power. On the front suspension,
Stabllizer bars are usually installed on both lower arms through the pads
rubber and linkage, in the middle part tied to the frame or body
in two places via bushings.
Strut bar
Strut bar serves to hold the lower arm so it doesn't move
back off when you receive a surprise from a road surface that doesn't
flat or push due to braking.
lateral control rod
this component is installed between the axle and the body of the car. Its function is to hold the axel in its position when receiving side loads.
Suspension models
According to the construction there are two main capital suspension, i.e.
rigid shaft suspension and free suspension.
a. Nail shaft suspension (rigid suspension)
Originally all the suspension cars used this model, even
even now it is still widely used in heavy vehicles. Rigid shaft
(single) connected to the frame or body with a spring (pagas
leaf or coil spring) and shock absorber So, there are no arms
suspension as in independent suspension.
b. Free suspension (independent suspension)
Usually this independent suspension is used on the wheels
passenger car or small truck. But now the suspension is free
widely used also on the rear wheels of passenger cars.
In the independent suspension the left and right wheels are not directly connected to a single shaft. Both wheels move freely without affecting each other.
Thus, interference with a wheel is handled only by the wheel.
Understanding suspension
Suspension is a collection of certain components that function to reduce shock, vibrations that occur in vehicles due to uneven road surfaces that can increase driving comfort and vehicle control. The vehicle's suspension system is located between the body (frame) with the wheels. There are two main types of suspension, namely:
1. Dependent suspension system or rigid shaft suspension system
2. Independent suspension system or free suspension system.
Between the wheels in one shaft are not directly connected, each wheel (left and right wheels) is connected to the body or frame with suspension arms (suspension arm), springs and shock absorbers. Shock or vibration on one wheel does not affect the other wheel.
Generally passenger vehicles use this system on all wheel shafts, while commercial vehicles generally use this system on the front wheels while the rear axle uses a dependent suspension system on the rear wheel shaft. MacPherson strut and double-wishbone types are included in this type of system
With the elastic nature of the spring, the spring serves to receive vibration or wheel shaking due to the condition of the road being traversed in order for the vibration or shaking of the wheel not to channel to the body or frame of the vehicle.
Some types of springs used in suspension systems:
* Threaded spring (coil spring), also known as 'per snail', the type used is a pressure spring or screw spring to accept compressive loads.
* Leaf spring, commonly used in heavy or commercial vehicles with dependent suspension systems.
* Torsion springs, known as torsion bar spring, are generally used in vehicles with not too heavy loads.
Shock absorbers
Shock absorbers serve to reduce shock loads or shock or vibration received by the spring.
