ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary suspension system operating on stages of loaded rubber for axles of vehicles in general includes a pair of concentric tubes, one outer and one inner, with rubber applied to the surfaces of contact. As the tubes turn one inside the other, they put the rubber into torsion. The system can have two integrated phases or it can be a hybrid system. The suspension system connects the vehicle chassis to the axle of the wheels using a lever arm attached to the outer tube and a support that holds the inner tube and a system of torsion control at the other end. The suspension system has features including a torsion lever that changes longitudinal movement of the tensioning element into angular movement that is transmitted to the anchoring tube to stretch the rubber, and a torsion arm or crossbeam that is fixed to a covering box at one end and that has a hole where a fork-shaped tensioning element passes, providing a supporting point to the tensioning element and generating a longitudinal movement to permit torsion adjustment of the rubber to a desired level.
