Link Manufacturing, a provider of suspensions, suspension controls and air management products, unveiled what the company says will become the industry's first family of intelligent auxiliary suspension systems. With field testing in progress, the 8K, 10K, 13.5K and 20K Road Optimized Innovation (ROI) Auxiliary Suspensions Systems are expected to be commercially available in 2022. The products and the technology behind them were presented during a press conference at the American Trucking Associations' Technology Maintenance Council (TMC) 2021 Fall Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition in Cleveland. "If an auxiliary suspension system is engaged when not needed, it can cause the tires to drag, or 'scrub/ negatively affecting tire wear, gas mileage and maintenance intervals," said Mike Leakey, VP of sales and marketing for Link. "Conversely, if auxiliary axles are not deployed when needed, the vehicle may not comply with local bridge laws, and the vehicle and its occupants may even be exposed to dangerous mechanical forces." |
