Leaf Spring Bushings
Withstand enormous torsional and radial loads
Metal or plastic washer limiting the maximum movement in radial, axial and cardanic direction
Additional sliding layer enabling all torsion angles while withstanding high load profiles
Leaf spring bushings connect the leaf springs of a commercial vehicle with its chassis. They are cylindrical in shape and mounted at the end of the leaf springs, therefore also known as leaf spring eye mounts.
These bushings withstand enormous torsional and radial loads and at the same time do not require regular lubrication. They are therefore completely maintenance-free. They have an innovative, additional sliding layer that enables all torsion angles that occur, while withstanding the high load profiles of these special applications. A washer element limits the maximum radial, axial and cardanic movement to prevent harm to the leaf springs.
The leaf spring bushings require the same installation space and are the same weight compared to conventional lubricated bronze bearings, while also providing the same NVH performance. Therefore, they provide significant cost and maintenance advantages without compromising other performance criteria.
