摘要： The suspension system of the present invention broadly comprises a method of retrofitting an existing torsion axle suspension carried by a frame with an air spring comprising the steps of removing an original torsion axle that was fixed to a frame from the frame and mounting the torsion axle to at least one rotatable arm such that rotation of the arm causes vertical translation of the original torsion axle. The suspension system also comprises a retrofit kit for use with a torsion axle suspension system having a torsion axle and a spindle comprising a hanger bracket adapted to be attachable to the frame, a pivot arm for mounting to the hanger bracket and adapted for rotatably supporting the existing torsion axle, an air spring, a support assembly secured to the pivot arm for supporting the air spring, and an attachment for securing the pivot arm to the support assembly.

摘要： A suspension system which includes at least one beam, a support spring extending between the vehicle frame and the support beam and a lift spring extending between a lift bracket welded to the beam and the vehicle frame. The support spring is precompressed by using a U-bolt and may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of the U-bolt. Additionally, the spring provides a constant effective force throughout the entire path of travel of the tire-wheel assemblies attached to the axle. While the axle force provided by the spring increases, the force operates through a changing lever arm relative to the pivot point to assure that the spring force operating through the lever arm remains substantially constant throughout the path of travel of the suspension system.

摘要： A vehicle suspension system having a pair of hanger brackets and a pair of beams. A first end of each beam is pivotally attached to each hanger bracket, and an axle is rigidly attached to the second end of each beam. A tri-functional bushing is positioned at each pivot to provide a horizontal spring rate different from the vertical spring rate. Each beam is formed with a top section and a bottom section which are joined along the longitudinal axis. Both the top section and bottom section are formed with axle recesses complementary related to a portion of the axle. Each axle recess is formed with a trailing edge positioned on either side of a arcuate section of the axle. In one embodiment, a rear plate extends downwardly from the top section adjacent the front of the axle and is welded thereto. In another embodiment, a half sleeve is positioned circumferentially around a front portion of the axle and is complementary related to the axle recesses of the top section and the bottom section. In this embodiment, a portion of the half sleeve adjacent the neutral axis is removed, and a plug weld is positioned therein to secure the half sleeve to the axle and a weld bead is provided circumferentially around the half sleeve adjacent the axle recesses formed in the top section and bottom section to secure the trailing beam to the half sleeve.

摘要： A tag axle assembly has a frame having a pair of hanger brackets, an upper cross tube and a lower cross tube. A pair of rocker beams having a primary pivot for pivotally mounting the rocker beam to the support frame is mounted to the frame. A suspension air spring extends between the upper cross tube and each rocker beam, and a lift air spring extends between each hanger bracket and the front end of the rocker beam. An axle seat is hingedly mounted to the rear end of each rocker beam. An upper beam having an actuator beam and a lift bar are pivotally mounted to the axle seat and to the support frame. A linear actuator extends between the support frame and the actuator beam. Inflation of the lift air spring causes the rocker beams to rotate about the primary pivots, and expansion of the linear actuator causes the actuator beam and the interconnected lift bar to raise. As the interconnected lift bar raises, it applies an upward force to the axle seats such that the axle seats rotate about the hinge pins relative to the rocker beams. Such rotation causes the axle seats to raise further out of the ground engaging position and forward. To move the suspension into ground engaging position, the lift air springs are collapsed, and the effective length of the linear actuator is reduced while simultaneously, the suspension air springs are inflated to carry load.

摘要： A vehicle suspension system having a pair of hanger brackets, with one control arm and one torque arm pivotally mounted on one end to each hanger bracket. Each control arm and each torque arm is pivotally attached to one of a pair of axle seats at another end. One end of a stabilizer bar is mounted to a control arm to increase the suspensions roll stability, and resistance to lateral deflection. The pivotal connections on either end of the control arm include a flexible bushing formed with a hole, and a pivot pin extending through the hole. A lift mechanism includes a compression spring acting against a force plate to move a pair of tire-wheel assemblies between ground engaging and non-ground engaging positions through an interconnected lift bar. The lift mechanism will raise the tire-wheel assembly between a non-ground engaging position, a first ground engaging position, and a second ground engaging position for use in roadrailer applications.

摘要： An axle-to-beam connection for a vehicle having a beam type suspension system is disclosed. The beam-to-axle connection includes an axle connection, a beam connection and a resilient member located therebetween. The resilient member forms a continuous path between the axle connection and the beam connection such that the axle connection and the beam connection do not directly interface at any point. The axle connection includes a saddle plate, which retains the axle, and a pair of extension plates which are connectable to the saddle plate and extend down along both sides of the beam. The resilient member is of a non-uniform shape and thickness and includes a continuum of loci which is designed and shaped so that each locus assumes its fair share, but not more, of the torsional, vertical and horizontal forces exerted on the resilient member during operation of the vehicle. The axle-to-beam connection is also unique in that the axle is resiliently attached to the beam without affecting the structural integrity of the beam.
