Section 2 Rear suspension

I.

Construction features

Rear suspension adopts leaf spring non-absolute suspension, which consists of leaf spring and absorber.

Rear bearing and leaf spring of rear suspension are connected to one integration, it is a kind of non-absolute

suspension construction, of which wheels on one side jump upwards and downwards while wheels on the other

side should be impacted correctively. During up/down jumping process of wheels, leaf spring should store energy

momentarily, and then release energy step by step. In this process, the device should absorb the energy via

damping effect of absorber and release them in other mode of energy to achieve damping effect. In additional,

comparing to spiral spring used by our Company, the leaf spring also has function of receiving and transiting

lateral force and longitudinal force.
