The Binkley® series is rated up to 25,000 lbs. GAWR with proper springs, axles, and brake selection. o The Binkley® Standard (S) model is designed to be an industry leader for On-Highway applications: durable, light weight, with value added features and options: Container Chassis, Gravel, Dump, Belly Dump, Rear Dump, Livestock, Grain, Platform, Van, Lt Wt Utility, Tag & Pindle. o The Binkley® Heavy Duty (H) model is designed with thicker gage hangers and parts to be an industry leader for Off-Highway applications: Lowboy, Oil-Field, Logging, Tanker, Chip Van, HD Drop-deck & Flatbed. P/N Suspension Duty (Up to 25K with proper spring selection) S = Binkley Standard, Mostly On-Highway (Features light weight front and rear hangers, replaceable hanger wear pads.) H = Binkley HD, Off-Highway (Features heavy duty hangers, replaceable hanger wear pads.) Axle Quantity Your trailer application may require a single or multiple axle configuration. To reconfigure from a single or tandem kit an expansion Multiple Axle Configurator (MAC) kit can be added. P/N Axle Quantity 1 = Single Axle Configuration 2 = Tandem Axle Configuration 3 = Tri-Axle Axle Configuration 4 = MAC Kit (Axle add-on kit) pg. 3 Axle Spacing Your trailer application will determine the axle spacing needed. The standard axle spacing is 49”, axle spacing wider than 49” will require a special length rocker or custom configuration. P/N Axle Spacing A = Single Axle Standard Setting C = 42.5" Axle Centers (12K Lt Wt Special Spring) E = 49" Axle Centers (11.75” long rocker) SHOWN H = 54.5" Axle Centers (17.25” long rocker) J = 60" Axle Centers (22.75” long rocker) Axle Connection Configuration Your trailer application will often determine what height of suspension you need to fit between the bottom of the trailer frame and the center of the axle (Suspension RIDE HEIGHT, RH). The suspension Ride Height required will then determine if your application is tall or short application. A tall application will require an Overslung, or TopMount type typically used on Flatbed or Van trailers. A short application will require an Underslung, or Low-Mount type typically used on Drop-Deck or Lowboy trailers. The axle connection brackets are also dependent on the size of the axle. A standard axle is 5.0” round diameter and a light weight axle can be 5.75” or 6.0” round diameter with a thinner wall to reduce weight at the same strength as a 5.0” round.

  • Adaption and Evaluation of Transversal Leaf Spring Suspension Design for a Lightweight Vehicle Using Adams /C Ar
    ADAPTION AND EVALUATION OF TRANSVERSAL LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION DESIGN FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLE USING ADAMS /C AR FLORIAN CHRIST Master Thesis in Vehicle Engineering Vehicle Dynamics Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering Royal Institute of Technology TRITA-AVE 2015:09 ISSN 1651-7660 Adaption and Evaluation of Transversal Leaf Spring Suspension Design for a Lightweight Vehicle using Adams/Car FLORIAN CHRIST © Florian Christ, 2015. Vehicle Dynamics Department of Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan SE-100 44 Stockholm Sweden ii Abstract This investigation deals with the suspension of a lightweight medium-class vehicle for four passengers with a curb weight of 1000 kg. The suspension layout consists of a transversal leaf spring and is supported by an active air spring which is included in the damper. The lower control arms are replaced by the leaf spring ends. Active ride height control is introduced to compensate for different vehicle load states. Active steering is applied using electric linear actuators with steer-by wire design. Besides intense use of light material the inquiry should investigate whether elimination of suspension parts or a lighter component is concordant with the stability demands of the vehicle. The investigation is based on simulations obtained with MSC Software ADAMS/Car and Matlab. The suspension is modeled in Adams/Car and has to proof it's compliance in normal driving conditions and under extreme forces. Evaluation criteria are suspension kinematics and compliance such as camber, caster and toe change during wheel travel in different load states. Also the leaf spring deflection, anti-dive and anti-squat measures and brake force distribution are investigated.

  • Modelling Commercial Vehicle Handling and Rolling Stability
    357 CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Bradford Scholars Modelling commercial vehicle handling and rolling stability K HussainÃ, W Stein, and A J Day School of Engineering, Design, and Technology, University of Bradford, Bradford, UK The manuscript was received on 3 September 2004 and was accepted after revision for publication on 28 April 2005. DOI: 10.1243/146441905X48707 Abstract: This paper presents a multi-degrees-of-freedom non-linear multibody dynamic model of a three-axle heavy commercial vehicle tractor unit, comprising a subchassis, front and rear leaf spring suspensions, steering system, and ten wheels/tyres, with a semi-trailer comprising two axles and eight wheels/tyres. The investigation is mainly concerned with the rollover stability of the articulated vehicle. The models incorporate all sources of compliance, stiffness, and damping, all with non-linear characteristics, and are constructed and simulated using automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems formulation. A constant radius turn test and a single lane change test (according to the ISO Standard) are simulated. The constant radius turn test shows the understeer behaviour of the vehicle, and the single lane change manoeuvre was conducted to show the transient behaviour of the vehicle. Non-stable roll and yaw behaviour of the vehicle is predicted at test speeds .90 km/h. Rollover stability of the vehicle is also investigated using a constant radius turn test with increasing speed. The articulated laden vehicle model predicted increased understeer behaviour, due to higher load acting on the wheels of the middle and rear axles of the tractor and the influence of the semi-trailer, as shown by the reduced yaw rate and the steering angle variation during the con- stant radius turn.

  • Ride Control Defined
    RIDE CONTROL DEFINED According to Newton's First Law, a moving body will continue moving in a straight line until it is acted upon by another force. Newton's Second Law states that for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of the automobile, whether the disturbing force is in the form of a wind-gust, an incline in the roadway, or the cornering forces produced by tires, the force causing the action and the force resisting the action will always be in balance. Many things affect vehicles in motion. Weight distribution, speed, road conditions and wind are some factors that affect how vehicles travel down the highway. Under all these variables however, the vehicle suspension system including the shocks, struts and springs must be in good condition. Worn suspension components may reduce the stability of the vehicle and reduce driver control. They may also accelerate wear on other suspension components. Replacing worn or inadequate shocks and struts will help maintain good ride control as they: Control spring and suspension movement Provide consistent handling and braking Prevent premature tire wear Help keep the tires in contact with the road Maintain dynamic wheel alignment Control vehicle bounce, roll, sway, dive and acceleration squat Reduce wear on other vehicle systems Promote even and balanced tire and brake wear Reduce driver fatigue Suspension concepts and components have changed and will continue to change dramatically, but the basic objective remains the same: 1. Provide steering stability with good handling characteristics 2. Maximize passenger comfort Achieving these objectives under all variables of a vehicle in motion is called ride control 1 BASIC TERMINOLOGY To begin this training program, you need to possess some very basic information.

  • Transverse Leaf Springs: a Corvette Controversy
    Transverse Leaf Springs: A Corvette Controversy By Matt Miller Introduction A lot of people give Corvettes flack because they employ leaf springs. The mere mention of leaf springs conjures up images of suspensions on horse-drawn buggies, old cars and trucks, and Harbor Freight utility trailers. Even magazine reviews of the latest Corvettes talk about how “antiquated” their leaf spring designs are, and many a Corvette enthusiast has converted his car to aftermarket coilovers in the belief that they are inherently better than the composite transverse leaf springs found on the front and rear suspensions of all Corvettes since 1984. But is that true? Does the Corvette’s use of transverse leaf springs mean it has an inferior, outdated suspension design? The short answer is “No!” To find out why, we’ll cover some basics on springs and suspensions and see how the facts add up. Page 1 What is a Spring, Anyway? We all intuitively know what springs are. But technically speaking, a spring is an elastic mechanical device that stores potential energy. When mechanical energy is put into a spring, it deforms and can release that energy back in the opposite direction. We measure a spring’s energy storage by its “spring rate,” which defines its energy storage. The spring rate defines the increase in force required to move the spring a certain amount. For example, if a spring has a rate of 100 lb/in (pounds per inch), it means that 100 lbs of force will move one end of it 1”, an additional 100 lbs will move it another inch, and so on.

Received: 16 December 2019; Accepted: 31 January 2020; Published: 14 February 2020 Abstract: The lightweight design of trucks is of great importance to enhance the load capacity and reduce the production cost. As a result, the taper-leaf spring will gradually replace the multi-leaf spring to become the main elastic element of the suspension for trucks. To reveal the changes of the handling stability after the replacement, the simulations and comparison of the taper-leaf and the multi-leaf spring suspensions with the same vertical stiffness for trucks were conducted. Firstly, to ensure the same comfort of the truck before and after the replacement, an analytical method of replacing the multi-leaf spring with the taper-leaf spring was proposed. Secondly, the effectiveness of the method was verified by the stiffness tests based on a case study. Thirdly, the dynamic models of the taper-leaf spring and the multi-leaf spring with the same vertical stiffness are established and validated, respectively.

    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAILER SUSPENSION DAMPING: A GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICES The noticeable ride benefits of suspension damping devices also bring maintenance challenges for fleets. Educate yourself on the evolution of damping methods to better manage long-term costs. All vehicles, passenger or commercial, are designed with damping in mind when it comes to the suspension. The primary goal of a suspension system is to carry the load from the vehicle while providing compliance between the sprung mass (chassis, trailer body, etc.) and the unsprung mass (the suspension, tires, wheels, brakes, etc). Damping devices, such as shock absorbers, are designed to add comfort and control by resisting the motion of the suspension. Without damping forces, a vehicle would have a tendency to bounce at its natural, or resonant, frequency. But over the service life of the vehicle, most suspension damping devices result in a compromise of either ride quality or added component maintenance. In the commercial trailer industry, managing issues like driver comfort, cargo protection, vehicle safety and government compliance can be a complicated balancing act. Understanding the fundamentals of damping enables fleets to better manage long-term maintenance and operation costs while keeping ride quality and driver satisfaction high. What Is Damping and Why Do I Need It? Damping describes the process of absorbing energy of road inputs that are transmitted through the suspension system. Suspension damping reduces the number and intensity of these inputs to the vehicle thereby helping to prolong the life of the vehicle and its components. In turn, this helps reduce overall operating and maintenance costs.
