 Car suspension

1.Has the role of ensuring convenience to passengers and to

protect the components against shock loads and organs damaging
jolts and oscillations caused by road nergularitatile it includes
elastic elements, jig, shock absorbers and suspension springs
stabilizatoare.Materialele used silicon steel spring, the helical
spring steel bars and the torsion bar spring steel alloy.
2.Classification dependent suspension wheels and
independent wheel suspension with the wheels if dependent meets
rigid axles, wheels and independent suspension, if bridges joined
to each wheel is suspended directly from the frame or body.
a)Elastic suspension elements found in cars are in leaf
springs, coil springs, torsion bars and hydro-pneumatic elastic
elements.
b)In leaf springs are designed to reduce tensions that arise in
the sheet, the main spring leaves are made with different curve
radii, becoming smaller, and at their gathering, the central button,
is a main sheet tensioners, which will decrease the radius of
curvature.
c)Coil springs are made of steel rods wrapped by a propeller.
In this type of spring, it is not friction, as a result of such
suspension springs require the use of stronger dampers. Also, these
springs only take assignments and work along their axis of it due to
a suspension of such arches provide guidance devices, helical
spring is about 2.5 times lighter and less voluminous than the arc
in sheets.

 d)Torsion bar springs that are used as elastic element torsion
bars began to be used in a number of cars and buses.
3. Maintenance consists of metal spring suspension with
visual verification status thnice springs, tightening the clamps and
joints, control of technical condition of the springs, etc ...
maintenance of the pneumatic spring consists of daily monitoring
of the tightness and position the item on the jobsite.
Annually, pneumatic elastic elements removed for removing
water and impurities pstonului went to the bottom and this
operation is recommended to chill out after passing season.
4.Defects in operation, the causes of broken main leaf spring
are: material fatigue, uniformly distributed load, shock caused by
bumps horses, and the rear near the spring or in the right eye bolt
central office clamping bolt.
Breaking the secondary leaf spring to break out sheets listed
the main causes of the fault can also occur because of factors: not
replacing defective sheet, spring clamps slabrea, bad maintenance.
Wear or breakage of the thread bolt spring clamps defects
appear due to the following causes: broken leaf spring side,
loosening the clamps, spring break major films. And the remedy is
made defectinii repair shop.
Spring break or weaken the causes that produce these defects
are similar to those of the leaf spring and defect removal is done by
changing arch repair shop, along the Matala can enter a washer
between the spring and broken parts of their connection.
5.Defective shock absorbers, dampers most frequent
malfunctions of concerns: leaking fluid, clogging the channels of
connection, damage to their valves and springs to remove the
defect is in the repair shop to which the car will travel at a speed
correlated to road defects.
6.Suspension vibrates or makes noise due to causes:
Improper installation of dampers, shock absorber support
weakening, wear earrings, central bolt, clamps, squeezing is done
and the repair shop to replace the defective shock absorbers.

 7.Repair suspension
Arch sheet defects may be removed as follows:-change
characteristics elestice check controlled manually using a spring
device Lamer, respinguirea bow to recondition the sheets, followed
by appropriate heat treatment.
- Main sheet or another sheet of the component is replaced or
broken spring rupata;
-cent bolt thread is broken or damaged is replaced;
-eclisele-clamping is cracked or broken replace;
- replace worn bush with a new nominal size alezta;
-raising office for proper SuRB recondition worn by
increasing the holes using the mounting screw is increased;
-elastic cut-width is reduced, recondition the opening of the
milling circuit and restoring the original size of bore;
-Work-worn surface, it reconditions the nominal share;
-Supotul-greasing the threads for damage of the
reconditionating by charging, welding, drilling and the initial size
refiletare.
