Leaf springs are a type of suspension
system commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks, trailers, and some
agricultural equipment. They consist of multiple layers, or "leaves,"
of curved metal strips stacked on top of each other, held together by clamps or
center bolts. This layered design allows the spring to flex and absorb shocks
from uneven road surfaces, providing a more comfortable ride and protecting the
vehicle's frame and cargo. Leaf springs are known for their durability and
ability to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for applications where
robustness and load-bearing capacity are essential. They are typically attached
to the vehicle's frame at both ends, with the axle connected to the center of
the spring. While they offer strength and reliability, leaf springs can be less
compliant than other suspension systems like coil springs or air suspension,
particularly in lighter vehicles.
