Mechanical suspensions series VB

General

Mode of operation

In multi-axle suspension systems, the middle connecting
pieces have equalising beams which can rotate. The
spring ends which slide in the equalising beam mountings
combine to produce static axle load equalisation (even
distribution of axle load when stationary and moving).
The design means that no dynamic axle load equalisation
is provided (uneven axle load distribution when braking).
BPW leaf suspension systems are designed to offer
self-damping and do not need any additional shock
absorbers.

BPW VB suspension units with anti-roll bar

BPW VB suspension units can also be equipped with
one or more U-stabilisers when particularly high levels
of roll stability are called for, e.g. in vehicles with a high
centre of gravity.
