4. Shock Absorbers (Dampers)
Single tube:
1 Atmospheric pressure
2 Valve, soft spring
3 Valve, hard spring
4 Non-return valve

5. Shock Absorbers (Dampers)
Twin tube:
1 Atmospheric pressure
2 Reserve chamber
3 Base valve
Advantages: Insensitive to stone throw. Tube can be adapted to fit in
locations where space is limited. This shock-absorber type is short, as the
balance chamber is next to the working cylinder.

9. Level Control System
Hydropneumatic suspension:
1 Fluid supply
2 Steel spring
3 Accumulator
4 Gas volume
5 Rubber diaphragm
6 Fluid
7 Hose
8 Shock absorber
System reacts to increased vehicle speed by reducing body ride height, resulting in
fuel savings
Increase in vehicle-body ride height on poor road surfaces
Enhanced stability in curves achieved through lateral blocking of the suspension
elements on a given axle

34. Proportioning Valve
Load-sensitive brake force reducing valve:
The cut-in pressure is altered to correspond to the vehicle’s load by
means of a mechanical device which transmits the relative movement
between axle and vehicle body to the step-bore piston in the valve.
The force acting on the step-bore piston during braking is again
modified by the dynamic axle load transfer and thus influences the
braking force on the rear axle.
This guarantees maximum deceleration while at the same time largely
preventing locking of the rear axle and the resulting danger of
skidding.

36. Air Brake System
Why air brakes?
Air brake systems are more tolerant to small leaks. The
smallest leak in a hydraulic system could result in brake
failure. An air brake system includes a compressor to
generate more compressed air as needed.

53. Air Brake System
The compressor will continue to pump air, but all of its output will
take the path of least resistance and be vented at the line rupture.

67. Air Brake System
Once the supply line is connected to the trailer, there needs to be a
way of directing air pressure to the trailer.

68. Air Brake System
There are times when it may be benefi cial to apply only the trailer
brakes with out applying the tractor brakes, such as when coupling
the tractor to a trailer.
