Mercedes Benz Leaf Spring

Automotive leaf springs are also called blade springs.

The principle of action of the leaf spring is the characteristics of its mechanical structure, because the middle of the leaf spring is fixed by riding bolts, and the curl lugs at both ends are hinged on the bracket, thus playing a cushioning role. Moreover, the two ends of the leaf spring will show a natural state of upward bending after installation, which can play a role in the transmission of force in the longitudinal arrangement, so that the structure such as shock absorbers can be omitted. Moreover, the leaf spring will be made into an inverted triangle shape in various superimposed processing, and the number of steel plates is determined according to the required shock absorption effect and the load-bearing of the car. The greater the number of steel plates, the thicker the thickness, and the shorter the length, the better their elasticity and rigidity.

In the design of leaf springs, there are usually several indicators such as dynamic flexure value, static deflection, stiffness and stress, and after calculation and analysis, leaf springs can be designed and produced according to different data combinations to meet the needs of different models. In addition to playing the role of elastic devices in automobiles, leaf springs can also play their role as system damping and guide components, and it is believed that its multiple uses will make it more and more widely used.
