1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, LEAF-SPRUNG DRIVEN AXLE WITH AIR-SPRUNG 

LEADING REAR AXLE

Circuit diagram

Principle of leading rear axle air suspension
The air required for the air suspension is 

branched from the air supply unit (A) (circuit 4) of 

the air system.

The air flows from the air supply unit (A) to the 

pressure-limiting valve (B). The pressure-limiting 

valve (B) limits the air pressure to the load-

sensing height-control valve (C) to 7 bar. The 

load-sensing height-control valve (C) responds to 

each change of distance between the driven axle 

and the chassis through a rod connected to the 

driven rear axle.

When the axle load on the driven axle increases, 

air is supplied to the air bellows (G) of the leading 

rear axle via the height-control valve (C).

When the axle load on the driven axle decreases, 

the bellows (G) are vented via the quick-release 

valve (E), resulting in the bellows pressure being 

reduced.

If the axle load of the leading rear axle increases, 

for example as a result of driving over a speed 

bump, then the bellows pressure will become 

higher than the pressure in the pipe for the quick-

release valve (E). This results in the quick-

release valve (E) bleeding, causing the axle load 

to decrease.

An electropneumatic valve (D) is fitted between 

the load-sensing height-control valve (C) and the 

quick-release valve (E). The pipe to the quick-

release valve (E) can be bled using this valve, 

resulting in the quick-release valve (E) venting 

the bellows.

This results in the axle load of the driven axle 

being increased, meaning the traction of the 

driven axle is increased.

The electropneumatic valve (D) can be controlled 

from the cab.

A pressure-relief valve (F) is also fitted between 

the quick-release valve (E) and the air bellows; 

this pressure-relief valve is set at 0.5 bar.

The valve is fitted between the pipe in such a 

manner that when the pipe is vented a residual 

pressure of 0.5 bar remains in the bellows. This 

residual pressure prevents "pleating" of the 

bellows.

Principle of axle load protection
There may be a safety mechanism to prevent 

overload of the driven axle. A proximity switch, 

controlled by the rod of the load-sensing height-

control valve (C), monitors the axle load.

The proximity switch is activated when the 

maximum value is reached. A relay activates the 

electropneumatic valve (D) so that air is no longer 

exhausted from the bellows (G) but supplied to 

them. This reduces the axle load on the driven 

axle.
