4-Point Link
Integration of functions and weight reduction
Key Facts
What can 4-Point Link provide?
The 4-point link integrates the functions previously performed separately by the V-link and the stabilizer bar, and fulfills all of the familiar roll stabilization requirements. Axle control is ensured even in extreme driving conditions, ground clearance is improved considerably in comparison to previously existing systems, and the weight of the system is reduced by an average of 20 kilograms.
Details
In addition, the new link improves driving safety over the entire performance range of the chassis. For commercial vehicle manufacturers the new chassis module provides further benefits, since it represents an advance in the standardization of axle variants. Incorporation of the 4-point link into the chassis reduces the number of components and hence the associated tool and development costs. The functional integration also decreases assembly costs.
