The first use of TAK-4 independent suspension system was on an M939 5-ton truck as part of the Marines’ plan to upgrade its M939 fleet. The upgrade approach was ultimately abandoned, this replaced by a new-build approach for which the Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) was selected.
A patent for such a device was filed in 2005. [1] This type of system uses a linear motor/generator consisting of a stack of permanent magnets and coils to generate electricity. This system was further developed at Tufts University and has been licensed to Electric Truck, LLC. Preliminary data suggests 20% to 70% of the energy normally lost in ...
A multi-link suspension is a type of independent vehicle suspension having three or more control links per wheel. [1] These arms do not have to be of equal length, and may be angled away from their "obvious" direction. It was first introduced in the late 1960s on the Mercedes-Benz C111 [2] and later on their W201 and W124 series. [3] [4]
The marine environment is particularly severe and people exposed to these conditions may experience unusually high injury rates. [5] Shock-mitigating suspension seats are related to the blast seats used to protect personnel from IEDs in armored vehicles and the crash seats used in military helicopters. Unlike these other seats, however, shock ...
As such, push-rod suspension systems allow for much greater high-speed stability, much lower levels of body-roll, and a much lower centre of gravity for the vehicle. [7] For pull-rod suspension systems, the only difference is the orientation of the rocker arms. In a push-rod system, the rocker arms are placed at the highest point in the assembly.
A shock mount or isolation mount is a mechanical fastener that connects two parts elastically to provide shock and vibration isolation. Isolation mounts allow equipment to be securely mounted to a foundation and/or frame and, at the same time, allow it to float independently from it.
That movement compresses the spring (2), pushing the arm down again. Christie-derived suspension on Polish 10TP tank: roadwheel (1), spring (2) and arm (3) T3E2 tank with Christie suspension crossing an obstacle during tests in 1936. The Christie suspension is a suspension system developed by American engineer J. Walter Christie for his tank ...
