2 Spring seats, axle clamping

General

BPW Axle clamping
The axle is connected to the trailing arm using the axle
O connection comprising: spring plates, spring pads,
segments and U-bolts.

SL Clamped, positive-locking axle connections ensure
an even force transfer into the axle proportional to the
degree of load. This is only possible with square axle

AL beams which therefore offer a long service life.
The connection parts are attached at the reinforced
corners of the axle beam (no welded connection).
Due to the modular construction a service-friendly repair

is guaranteed.

Welded axle mountings are mainly used with a round
axle cross section, steering axles as well as heavy-duty
air suspension systems.

As a load-bearing component of the suspension unit, the
trailing arm requires particular attention.

The following instructions should be carefully adhered to
during repair and maintenance work:

Do not work on trailing arms with a hammer or
any sharp objects.
Do not work on trailing arms with cutters

or grinders.
In the event that replacement trailing arms
do not fit exactly into the seat of the spring seats,

the mounting seat must always be widened.
