Felfüggesztendszer

Felfüggesztendszer is a Hungarian term that translates to "suspension system" in English. It refers to the collection of components in a vehicle that connects the wheels to the chassis. The primary functions of a suspension system are to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road surface, ensure tires remain in contact with the ground for optimal traction and control, and support the weight of the vehicle.

There are several common types of suspension systems. Independent suspension allows each wheel to move vertically without affecting the other wheels on the same axle. This generally leads to a more comfortable ride and better handling. Examples include MacPherson struts and double-wishbone suspensions. Dependent suspension, on the other hand, links the wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle, so movement of one wheel directly influences the other. Solid axles are a common example of dependent suspension.

The key components of a suspension system typically include springs (like coil springs or leaf springs) to absorb impact energy, shock absorbers (dampers) to control spring oscillations, and linkages (like control arms and tie rods) to connect the wheels to the chassis and guide their movement. The design and tuning of a suspension system significantly impact a vehicle's ride comfort, handling characteristics, and stability. Modern vehicles often employ sophisticated electronic or adaptive suspension systems that can adjust their characteristics in real-time based on driving conditions.
