V-link

Function & Benefit

V-links support longitudinal and lateral loads and, in combination with two trailing links/torque rods, assume all axle control functions. V-links are used primarily with heavily loaded rear axles, for instance in semi-trailer tractors or flatbed vehicles with twin axle assemblies. Our optimization has resulted in V-links with reduced weight. Here intelligent lightweight construction and functional optimization are achieved in conjunction with cost savings and improved vehicle dynamics. During optimization, top priority is always assigned to the safety aspects of the chassis.
