Abstract:
An axle suspension of a rigid axle, on an axle body, the axle suspension comprising:a steering triangle with a central joint and two control arms, said steering triangle control arms forming an angle with one another and being each respectively fastened to said central joint at one end and connected to a vehicle body via a guiding joint at another end; two longitudinal control arms located at spaced locations from the steering triangle and having a different vertical position from the steering triangle, each of said two longitudinal control arms being connected to a respective longitudinal control arm joint; a stabilizing device, geometric axes of coordinates being defined for the axle suspension including a first horizontal axis extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle and forming a central axis of the axle body, a second horizontal axis extending in the center of the vehicle and in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and intersecting said first horizontal axis at light angles at an intersection, and a vertical axis intersecting said intersection, at least one of said central joint of said steering triangle and the respective longitudinal control arm joint of at least one of said longitudinal control arms being mounted on said axle body with an offset in relation to at least one of said first horizontal axis, said second horizontal axis and said vertical axis, wherein at least one of said longitudinal control arms is bent at a right angle in the vicinity of the respective longitudinal control arm joint or at least one of said control arms of said steering triangle is bent at a right angle in the vicinity of the central joint, so that a longitudinal central axis of the control arm and a central axis of the central joint are offset from one another in space or one of the longitudinal control arms and the respective longitudinal control arm joint are offset from one another in space.
