Axle suspension systems

摘要

Axle bearing suspension system for a wheeled vehicle wherein external forces imposed on the vehicle to which the suspension system is attached result in torsional forces being imposed on the axle. The suspension system includes a brake actuation mechanism comprising a brake chamber (27), an S-cam assembly and an S-cam bearing (79). According to the present invention the axle bearing suspension system comprises devices (85, 87) located on a beam (59) supporting the axle for attaching the S-cam bearing (79) directly to the beam, and devices (73, 99) for directly attaching the brake chamber (27) to the beam. <IMAGE>
