A vehicle suspension system uses a segmented mounting member to adjust spring seat position along a constant cross-section axle beam.
Quadratic width variation in the main stress area of a leaf spring resolves the contradiction between weight reduction and structural integrity.
Energy storing suspension component featuring multi-tapered limbs and low axial rate bushings for enhanced lateral compliance.
Segmented half-axles with variable rate leaf springs reduce unsprung mass while maintaining axle control stability.
A detent spring uses a single fastener and tail locating feature for precise gear shift positioning.
Segmenting the solid axle into half-axles with independent leaf springs reduces unsprung mass and eliminates coupled wheel motion during cornering.
Replacing heavy steel structures, this composite spring reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity through optimized load distribution.
Rotating U-bolt assemblies in the axle seat bracket maintain parallel bolt faces, increasing active leaf spring length.
Plate spring attachment reduces backlash and chatter vibration by dynamically adjusting support strength during device installation.
A negative profile in an adaptive molded part compensates for saddle surface unevenness to eliminate stress peaks in fiber-reinforced plastic leaf springs.
