Axle with steered wheels and pneumatic suspension for a motor vehicle, especially for a low-floor bus

摘要

An axle (1) with steered wheels (3, 4) and pneumatic suspension for a motor vehicle, especially a low-floor bus, is indicated, which is characterised by the combination of a torsionally soft axle beam (2) with an axle bracing which has the following features: a) on each side of the axle a longitudinal suspension link (19, 20) connected to the axle beam (2) and projecting in front of this for longitudinal bracing of the axle (1), and b) on each side of the axle a suspension link (21, 22) connected to the axle beam (2) and projecting behind this, solely for supporting the moments of the axle (1), and c) a front, laterally bracing articulation (23, 24), fixed to the frame, for each longitudinal suspension link (19, 20), and d) a rear, longitudinally soft articulation (25, 26) on the frame side for each moment supporting suspension link (21, 22), solely for absorbing the vertical force from supporting the moments, and e) a diagonal or transverse connecting rod between two longitudinal suspension links (19, 20) for transverse bracing of the axle (1).
