Types of cars: How does car suspension work?

Have you ever wondered why you can comfortably drive in your four-wheeled vehicle long distances? Maybe you thought about seats? The four -wheeled seats play a significant role, but smaller than the suspension of your car. But the set of springs and shock absorbers in the car ensures the smooth course and the same comfort for the driver and passengers.

• What are the functions of the suspension?

Types of suspension systems in cars are as follows:

1. Trusal suspension

leaf springs act as shock absorbers, withstanding great weight. They are made of steel and can bend when the car axis puts pressure on them. In addition, they can easily extinguish the irregularities that the car face on the road. This, along with high bearing capacity, makes them perfectly suitable for use in commercial cars.

2. Torsion suspension

3. Suspension with longitudinal levers

one end of the suspension of this type is attached to the shock absorber and the rear axle, and the other end connects with the car chassis. They are absolutely not suitable for heavy vehicles and ideal for motorcycles or quad bikes.

4. Dependent suspension

5. Independent suspension

in this type the left and right wheels are not connected and can move independently from each other. Although their design is complex, they provide a higher depreciation effect. The location of springs and shock absorbers differs significantly in different types of independent pendants, but there are general solutions that combine them.

6. Divi -weight suspension

it is named so because of its "a"-like levers, similar to brackets (found only in an independent suspension). They maintain the resistance of the car and provide the passengers with comfortable riding due to greater handling even at extreme speeds. The upgraded version of this type of suspension is mostly used in sports vehicles and luxury cars.

7. McPerson type suspension

these are inexpensive and widely used types of pendants in cars.The main reason for their widespread use is that they are simple in design, easily controlled and provide a good level of comfort for passengers. This type can be easily modified according to the needs of one or another type of car.

8. Pneumatic suspension

In this type of suspension instead of the usual shock absorbers, pneumatic pillows (devices of the bellows type) are used. They can easily withstand large mass cars and can provide a variable clearance (road clearance). They can tolerate extreme loads and provide comfortable rides for their passengers and are great for luxury cars or large trucks.

9. Monumental suspension

The main reason for the popularity of this suspension is its high quality clutch, which makes it the best choice for cars traveling off -road. They are able to compensate for almost all the blows that they face during the movement. In addition, they help the car to pass turns, increasing its clutch. As a rule, they are installed on a premium car, since the service of this type of suspension is not cheap.
