Leaf Spring

3D Model

Leaf springs are a type of suspension system commonly used in vehicles to provide support and absorb shocks. They are simple yet effective designs consisting of multiple curved strips of metal, or “leaves,” stacked on top of each other and secured with clamps at the center. The design of a leaf spring allows it to flex and bend under load, making it ideal for absorbing the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. The longer outer leaves bear the majority of the load, while the shorter inner leaves provide stability and prevent excessive bending. Leaf springs are typically made from high-strength steel, which offers durability and resilience. The steel strips are precisely shaped to create the desired curvature, ensuring optimal performance and weight distribution. Overall, the leaf spring’s straightforward design, reliable performance, and affordability make it a trusted suspension system for various vehicles, from trucks and SUVs to trailers and agricultural machinery.
