Double eye leaf spring 10*50*640
A double eye leaf spring is a type of suspension system component commonly used in vehicles like trucks and trailers.The"double eye"refers to the spring having an eye(loop)at both ends,allowing it to be mounted securely at two points.
10*50*640 Double Eye Leaf Spring: Detailed Introduction
Dimensions:
10 mm: Thickness of the leaf spring (measured from top to bottom when flat).
50 mm: Width of the leaf spring.
640 mm: Total length of the leaf spring, from one eye to the other.
Key Components:
Eyelets (Double-eye design):
The spring has circular loops at both ends, referred to as "eyes." These allow for bolting or mounting onto the vehicle's frame or suspension mounts.Main Leaf and Additional Leaves:
The main leaf (or top leaf) carries most of the load. Additional leaves may be added below to distribute the stress and provide extra support. These secondary leaves are typically stacked under the main leaf in decreasing lengths.
Material:
Leaf springs are typically made of high-grade spring steel (such as 65Mn, 60Si2Mn, or SUP9), which provides the necessary elasticity and strength to handle heavy loads.
Function:
Suspension:
The primary purpose of the leaf spring is to absorb shocks and loads, providing a smoother ride by distributing the weight across the vehicle’s axle.Load-bearing Capacity:
The dimensions and material strength allow it to support specific weight ratings, making it suitable for light to medium-heavy trucks or trailers, depending on the application.
Features:
Durability:
Due to its construction and materials, the double eye leaf spring offers excellent durability and wear resistance, even under constant load-bearing conditions.Flexibility:
While strong, the leaf spring also has enough flexibility to allow movement, which is crucial for absorbing road shocks and impacts.
Applications:
Light and Medium Duty Trucks:
Commonly used in the rear suspension of trucks for load distribution.Trailers:
Often used in trailer axles for stability and shock absorption.Off-Road Vehicles:
In some off-road vehicles, this design is used due to its ability to withstand rough terrain.
