Mode of operation
In multi-axle suspension systems, the
middle connecting pieces have equalising
beams which can rotate. The spring ends
which slide in the equalising beam
mountings combine to produce static axle
load equalisation (even distribution of axle
load when stationary and moving).
The design means that no dynamic axle
load equalisation is provided (uneven axle
load distribution when braking).
BPW leaf suspension systems are
designed to offer self-damping and do
not need any additional shock absorbers.

General
e.g.
Sliders
The ends of the leaf spring are slide-mounted
in the connecting pieces by means of screwed-
in sliders or welded-in retainers made of harden-
ed steel alloy.
In this context it should be ensured that the
sliding points are always well greased.
Thick-walled lateral wear plates ensure precise
guidance of the spring ends in the connecting
pieces.
Note the correct position of the retainers
when replacing them (see also equalising
beams, page 37) !
Drawbar connection
VB connecting pieces with integrated drawbar
connection have 2 or 4 welded-in bushes,
depending on the design, to take the attachment
bolts.

6 Equalizing beams
General
Mode of operation
In the case of multi-axle suspension units,
the middle connecting pieces have pivoting
equalising beams. The spring ends slide-
mounted in the equalising beams together
achieve static axle equalisation (even
distribution of axle load when stationary
and on the move).

The rear connecting pieces welded onto the
vehicle chassis are only connected to the final
axle of the suspension unit by means of the
leaf springs, and they only transfer the tracking
forces of the axle to the chassis of the vehicle.
VBT
The rear connecting pieces welded onto the
vehicle chassis are connected to the last axle
of the suspension unit by means of connecting
rods, and convey all the tracking, braking and
acceleration forces from the axle into the vehicle
chassis.
Adjustable connecting rods are fitted on one side
(or both) to ensure easy tracking of the vehicle.

Scope of delivery
When you order this BPW code number you
get the complete connecting piece, including
slider, connecting rod (if available) and attach-

Sliders
The ends of the leaf spring are slide-mounted
in the connecting pieces by means of screwed-

ed steel alloy.
In this context it should be ensured that the
sliding points are always well greased.
Thick-walled lateral wear plates ensure precise
guidance of the spring ends in the connecting
pieces.
Note the correct position of the retainers when
replacing them (see also equalising beams,
