An elastomeric spring suspension is described for supporting a longitudinally extending vehicle frame rail above first and second axles forming a tandem axle configuration. The suspension includes a frame hanger assembly mounted to the vehicle frame rail. The frame hanger assembly has two full spring modules, each of which includes two shear springs, a progressive spring rate load cushion having a pyramidal shape with a flattened top surface and a spring mount for mounting the springs. A saddle assembly is connected to the spring mount, and an equalizing beam is connected to the saddle assembly and further connected to the axles. The spring rate for the suspension increases almost linearly as a function of sprung load, resembling a pneumatic suspension. Accordingly, the suspension exhibits excellent ride quality, without sacrificing roll stability.

L'invention concerne une suspension à ressort en élastomère permettant de supporter un longeron de châssis de véhicule s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal au-dessus d'un premier essieu et d'un deuxième essieu formant une configuration à essieux tandem. La suspension comprend un ensemble dispositif de suspension de châssis monté sur un longeron de châssis de véhicule. L'ensemble dispositif de suspension de châssis a deux modules à ressorts pleins, chacun comprenant deux ressorts de cisaillement, un amortisseur progressif de charge de constante de rappel de ressort ayant une forme pyramidale avec une surface supérieure aplatie et une monture de ressort pour monter les ressorts. Un ensemble selle est raccordé à la monture de ressort, et une poutre d'équilibrage est raccordée à l'ensemble selle et est par ailleurs raccordée aux essieux. La constante de rappel de ressort pour la suspension augmente presque linéairement en fonction d'une charge de ressort, ressemblant à une suspension pneumatique. En conséquence, la suspension présente une excellente qualité de roulement, sans sacrifier la stabilité du roulement.
