Federblechen
Federbleche, also known as leaf springs or laminated springs, are mechanical components designed to absorb and distribute forces through a series of curved metal leaves stacked together. They are commonly used in automotive suspension systems, heavy machinery, and railway vehicles due to their durability and ability to handle heavy loads. The primary function of a federblech is to provide elasticity, allowing for smooth movement and shock absorption while maintaining stability.
The construction of a federblech typically involves multiple layers of steel leaves, each progressively shorter than
Federbleche are particularly favored in applications requiring high load-bearing capacity, such as in trucks, buses, and
In modern engineering, federbleche are sometimes supplemented or replaced by coil springs or air suspensions in
