MEANS CONNECTING A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AXLE WITH THE CHASSIS

摘要

An elastic coupling system to increase the permissible axle loading of a commercial vehicle without increasing the space needed for the main spring and without changing the road holding properties when the vehicle is traveling empty. A spring and a shock absorber are arranged in a common housing coaxially. This spring and shock absorber unit may be in combination with further springs or shock absorbers for connecting the axle with the chassis of the vehicle.
