Even in the days of horse-drawn carriages, leaf springs were used to protect the vehicle and its passengers. While the vehicles have changed over the years, the purpose of leaf springs has remained the same. Today they are an important part of the chassis, including their role as a safety feature.
On the topic of leaf springs, the Parts Specialists have published a new PS Tips video. Niklas explains various leaf spring types and their structure. Leaf springs can have a wide variety of designs – in the video, the Parts Specialist takes a closer look at three models. One example is a solid leaf spring package, which is mainly used in the construction sector. In this context, Niklas points out that “the lifetime of such a leaf spring is significantly longer than that of an air suspension.”
