Suspension SystemIntroduction:
• The automobile frame and body are mounted on the front and rear axle not directly but through the springs and shock absorbers.
• The assembly of parts, which perform the isolation of parts from the road shocks, may be in the forms of bounce, pitch and roll is called suspension system.
Note: suspension system consists of a spring and damper. The energy of road shock causes the spring to oscillate. These oscillations are restricted to a reasonable level by the damper,
which is more commonly called as shock absorbers.

• Rotations: – A roll rotation about x-axis – A pitch rotation about y-axis. – A yaw rotation about z-axis.
Vehicle Axis system
Basic suspension movements: 1.Bouncing: The vertical movement of the complete body.
2. Pitching: The rotating movement of all the parts between the spring and road and the portion of spring weight itself.
3. Rolling: The movement about longitudinal axis produced by the centrifugal force during cornering.

Functions of suspension system
1. It prevents the vehicle body and frame from road shocks.
2. It gives stability of the vehicle.
3. It safeguards the passengers and goods from road shocks.
4. It gives the good road holding while driving, cornering and braking.
5. It gives cushioning effect.
6. It provides comfort.

Requirements of suspension system
1. There should be minimum deflection.
2. It should be of low initial cost.
3. It should be of minimum weight.
4. It should have low maintenance and low operating cost.
5. It should have minimum tyre wear.

SPRUNG MASS
• In a vehicle with a suspension, such as an automobile, motorcycle or a tank, sprung mass (or sprung weight) is the portion of the vehicle's total mass that is supported above the suspension.
• The sprung weight typically includes the body, frame, the internal components, passengers, and cargo.
• but does not include the mass of the components suspended below the suspension components (including the wheels, wheel bearings, brake rotors, callipers)

UNSPRUNG MASS
• In a ground vehicle with a suspension, the unsprung weight (or the unsprung mass) is the mass of the suspension, wheels or tracks (as applicable), and other components directly connected to them, rather than supported by the suspension.
• Unsprung weight includes the mass of components such as the wheel axles, wheel bearings, wheel hubs, tires, and a portion of the weight of driveshafts, springs, shock absorbers, and suspension links.

LEAF SPRINGS
![Page 14: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Coil spring is the most common type of spring found on modern vehicles.
Leaf springs are now limited to the rear of some cars.

LEAF SPRINGS• Leaf springs are formed by bending.
• They are made of long strips of steel.
• Each strip is named as Leaf.
• The long leaf is called Master Leaf, and it consists of eyes at its both ends.
• One end is fixed to the chassis frame, the other end is fixed to the shackle spring.
• The spring will get elongated during expansion and shortened during compression.
• This change in length of spring is compensated by the shackle.
• The U-bolt and clamps are located at the intermediate position of the spring.
• The bronze or rubber bushes are provided on both eyes on the master leaf.• Originally called a laminated or carriage spring

Types of Leaf Springs
• There are six types of leaf springs
1.Full – elliptic type2.Semi – elliptic type3.Quarter – elliptic type4.Three Quarter – elliptic type 5.Transverse Spring type6.Helper Spring type
![Page 19: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1.FULL ELLIPTIC • The advantage of this type is the elimination of
shackle and spring.
• The lubrication and wear frequently which are on of the main draw back of this type of springs.
![Page 21: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2.SEMI – ELLIPTIC
• This type is more popular for rear suspension are used in 75% of cars.
![Page 22: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3.QUARTER – ELLIPTIC
• This type is rarely used in now-a-days.• It gives very less resistance in road shocks.
![Page 23: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4.THREE QUARTER – ELLIPTIC• This type is rarely used in now-a-days.• It gives resistance, but occupies more space
than other types.
![Page 24: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5.TRANSVERSE SPRING• This type of spring is arrange transversely across the car instead of longitudinal
direction.
• The transverse spring for front axle, which is bolted rigidly to the frame at the center and attached to the axle by means of shackle at both ends.
![Page 25: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
6.HELPER SPRING
![Page 26: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Helper Springs• The helper springs are used in heavy vehicles
for rear suspension.
• When vehicle fully loaded the main spring as well as helper spring to come in action and absorb the road shocks.
• When the load of the vehicle is less, the helper spring will not act and the main spring only absorb the road shocks.

TORSION BAR
![Page 32: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TORSION BAR• Torsion bar suspension is used in independent suspension system.
• It is a rod acting in torsion and taking shear stresses only.
• It is made up of heat treated alloy spring steel.
• This bar stores amount of energy nearly as same as coil spring.
• The bar is fixed at one end to the frame, while the other end is fixed to the end of the wheel arm and supported in the bearing.
• The other end of the wheel arm connected to the wheel hub.
• When the wheel strikes a bump, it starts vibrating up and down, thus exerting torque on the torsion bar which acts as a spring.

SHOCK ABSORBERS
![Page 45: 1 suspension](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/5879213b1a28abf13a8b7113/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

• Shock absorbers - controls unwanted spring motion through dampening – compression cycle – extension cycle
• Limits spring compression-extension movements to smooth the vehicle’s ride.
• Without shock absorbers, the vehicle would continue to bounce up and down long after striking dip or hump in the road.
