Suspension systems for rail vehicles

Primary suspension
Axle springs can carry out three functions at once. They react to vertical jounce and loads that arise longitudinally and laterally from the influence of the rail track on the chassis while at the same time helping to decouple structure-borne noise.

Secondary suspension
The air suspension in modern chassis is a combination of finely tuned assemblies: the air spring bellows and the rubber-metal bearer spring, which supports the system especially when there is torsional strain and large horizontal excursions. It also absorbs a portion of the vertical deflection and reacts as an emergency spring.
