Types of Suspensions PDF

The document describes several types of vehicle suspensions: Twin-I beam suspension uses two parallel I-beams to provide strength and independent suspension-like ride comfort and flexibility. MacPherson strut suspension replaces control arms and shock absorbers with a strut assembly to improve handling. Twist beam suspension incorporates aspects of solid axles using a U-shaped beam connecting trailing arms. Short and long arm suspension uses two unequal length control arms. Multi-link suspension uses multiple links without struts. Link coil suspension includes control arms, a coil spring, shock, and anti-roll and tracking components. Solid axle suspension connects both wheels to the same rigid axle.

Types of Suspensions

Type Twin I-beam Suspension

Description
Twin-I beam suspension uses two parallel I-beam axles (one for each wheel). The design combines the superior strength of an I-beam suspension with the flexibility and ride comfort of an independent suspension.

MacPherson Strut Suspension Twist Beam Suspension

Chapman Strut Suspension

SLA Suspension

The MacPherson strut assembly replaces the upper control arm, front shock absorber and ball joint, increasing handling and responsiveness. It The twist beam suspension design incorporates many features of the solid axle design. They typically use a "U"-channel axle beam welded to one end of the trailing arms. The spindles bolt to the ends of the axle beam. The Chapman strut suspension is a rear suspension system which operates on the same principle as the McPherson Strut; it uses lower links or a control arm and a long spring-shock strut. One of the most common front suspension systems is the short and long arm (SLA) suspension. It uses two control arms of unequal length.

Link Coil Suspension

The link coil suspension consists of the following componets: A drive axle An upper suspension arm A lower suspension arm A coil spring A dual-action shock absorber A track bar (to control side-toside movement) A stabilizer bar (to control body roll during turns) The solid axle front suspension system mainly consists of a solid axle or axle housing, on which the wheels are mounted. In this suspension system, both wheels share the same axle, and work as one unit. When one wheel rides on a bump, the shock will be transferred to the other wheel.
