Rigid axles are anchored to the chassis of vehicles, provided with vertically movable suspensions secured to the chassis, by means of a reduced number of separate connection elements reacting to longitudinal thrust and braking torque, and by the use of rotary translating joints which, when appropriately combined, absorb the transverse thrust and permit all the movements required for the axle for its articulation. For each axle at least one of such joints is secured on one side to the base of the suspension and, on the other side, to the axle. The joint is constituted substantially by a rotatable pin coupled either to a rotary translating sleeve or to a fork rotating on a pin of the axle. |
