B60G

VEHICLE SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENTS (air-cushion vehicles B60V; )

Introduced: September 1968

Description

B60G covers suspension systems and components that support vehicle bodies on wheels and manage axle movements, vibrations, and ride dynamics. The class encompasses spring systems (coil, leaf, air, and elastomeric springs), dampers (shock absorbers and hydraulic damping devices), anti-roll bars, and integrated suspension mechanisms including independent and dependent axle arrangements. It includes active and semi-active suspension technologies, suspension control systems, and adjustable suspension devices for varying load conditions or driving characteristics. Related elastic mountings and isolators for vehicle structural elements are also covered, though detailed brake or steering system integration is typically classified separately.
