Leaf Spring Suspension animation: Leaf Spring Suspension design and working animation. Thanks for your support. If the animation was helpful, remember to give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing 👏. Please feel free to share the video via the link th-cam.com/video/iMqE-NCrWIg/w-d-xo.html
Something has bothered me about my understanding of how leaf springs work. An explanation would be appreciated. My question is, given that the top leaf has a parabolic shape when it is affixed to the chassis, how can it flex upwards with the ends fixed? As the bend in the leaf is reduced wouldn't it push against the attachment points breaking at least one off the chassis, or otherwise wouldn't the leaf be prevented the leaf from flexing up?
@@patrickweaver1105 That makes sense, but I am still not smart enough to get a picture in my head. Once he springs are installed and they are supporting the weight of the car, what keeps the shackle from being extended to its furthest extent even before the wheel hits a bump?
Hi, thanks for your support. Multilink suspension video is now available via th-cam.com/video/azcqyTw-3Rg/w-d-xo.html If the animation was helpful, remember to give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing Please feel free to share the video via the above link.
It's wrong to say the leaf springs are "secured once with the clamps", in the video. They are not. The clamps are only connected to the bottom leaf and wrap around the ones above it, allowing them to shift forward and back but NOT side to side. Ya?
it doesnt have to withstand the torque, it just carries the linear forces, up-down and forward-backward. U bolt has a bushing inside, so it doesnt matter how much torque there is, it just isn't transfered to the leaf spring. It's not like there is a electric motor glued to the suspension. The torque is transfered to the differential, it has no direct effect on suspension
it simply does not prevent the axis to turn on its own axis. There are additional longitudinal and in some cases lateral arms that prevent the axle to rotate on its own axis. Leaf spring only supports vertical loads.
It's...literally the same thing you just watched here, only they run laterally rather than longitudinally....and they are made from a single fiberglass "leaf", rather than steel.

Now do one on how a 3 or 4 link suppression works and design.
Cool video!
I appreciate your channel! I like the content and this video especially helped me a lot in my school project in germany. All the support ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks for your support. Glad it helped. We will release more videos of different car parts in the near future. Stay tuned for more content.
I love your animations. Would you produce another episode to illustrate how manual & automatic transmissions work?

Only one end is fixed the other is attached to a shackle that moves.

@@kennethpaquin8574 The resistance of the spring to deflection.
I would pay for the whole course if they could do this for every part of the car and truck.

Great suggestion.
A picture or video is more than a thousand words.
@@animatedengineeringstudiothank u
Importante el desarollo de estos videos, felicidades sigue con el aporte de favor.
Thanks! I searched for it. Redirected here.
Thanks for your support. Glad it helped :)
Very informative, thanks!
great video

Bro please upload multilink suspension and torsion baar suspension

Hai 🖐️
Hello 👋
Nice Explanation 👍
Keep it up & Do more videos 👍👍👍
Leaf Spring suspension is almost Zero maintenance as compared to other forms of suspension system
0 confort and handling at high speeds
@@kaduklein1834that’s true

How does leaf springs and the U bolt prevent the axle to spin on its own axis from the torque?
Dark magic.
@@revolutionday1 haha lol.

the shock and driveshaft itself prevent that
Great content but the music is way too loud and doesn't add value
make Video Leaf Spring CORVETTE !!!!!!!!!!

*See also: stagecoach technology, still being employed by modern manufacturers.

❤great
Yas good Boos
Without the annoying, superfluous background music the videos would be interesting.
Please remove the music
