5 Equalizing beams

5.1 General

Mode of operation

In the case of multi-axle suspension units, the middle
connecting pieces have pivoting equalising beams. The
spring ends slide-mounted in the equalising beams
together achieve static axle equalisation (even distribution
of axle load when stationary and on the move).

Equalizing beam bearing

Maintenance-free rubber-steel bushes are used in the
weight range from 9 to 14 tonnes axle load.

High-quality, durable bronze bushes are used for heavy
axle loads (9 - 20 tonnes) as well as for extreme off -road
applications.

Anti-rotation device for threaded bolts

The threaded bolt is secured against twisting by means
of a welded-on ring or welded-on lugs.
In VB ECO Cargo a folded disc (profi led sheet) is welded
to the hanger bracket under the threaded bolt head.
