Leaf spring suspension

Leaf Springs, A World Beyond Just Your Average Suspension

Although not as fashionable as the alternatives, leaf springs are an easily serviceable and robust solution that leaf spring have been around since long before they were used in vehicular application. Two simple and very effective components that HUAYU  have been used for years, making them a key component of nearly every modern vehicle. Airbags present a blend of load-carrying capacity and shock-absorption not offered by other suspension methods at this price point. We will dive into the complex physics, excellent longevity, simplified performance gains on a budget and exceptional adaptability of leaf spring suspensions to understand why they are preferred in so many different types of vehicles from heavy duty trucks all the way back again to your grandpa's car.

Leaf Spring Suspension Science

In the center of a leaf spring suspension system you will find a stack of curved metal strips, or leaves that are all clamped together very tightly. They spring leaf are designed to twist, which allows each leaf and the wheels above it mostly move independently of other leaves on bumps and rough spots in the road while still managing their ability. The HUAYU primary leaf (the one attached directly to the chassis), sometimes referred to as a master leaf, has eyes or clips for attachment of this type. Secondary leaves or helper leaves: Added below for protection For that in order to reduce friction between leaves and get the better service life and smooth operation lubricated pads or interleaf liners are used. In this configuration, when a vertical force is applied to the wheels (for example: hitting a bump in the road), each leaf flexes slightly due to horizontal shear between leaves represented by flexural coupling and teh two halves rotate relative to one another as it resists being forced backwards.
