Stabilizer transverse stability, what it is, the principle of work

Hello dear car enthusiasts and blog readers. Today I will tell about the device that is not visible to us, but performs one of the most important features to ensure road safety. it transverse Stability Stabilizer (SPU). Let's figure it out that this is for the device and how it functions.

This metal beam, with curved ends fastening to both (mainly to the front) wheels through the bushings on the car body in which it can freely rotate. It is usually put on an independent suspension. If behind the bridge, or the beam, the function of the stabilizer performs the beam (on the front drive) and the transverse rod in the rear.

The name itself says that the mechanism stabilizes the car on the road.

Let's deal with how it happens.

Entering the turn, according to the laws of physics, our body shifts from the axis of the turn, i.e. Trying to fly off the turn. The same thing happens with the car. During the turn, the external wheels, in relation to the turn, are trying to slip out, and the internal lifted and lose the clutch with the road. When compressing the outer wheel, the suspension is compressed and through the curved end of the beam, the stabilizer scrolls. On the other end of the beam, the other curved part of the stabilizer is scrolled down, trying to press the rising wheel to the ground. Thus, when entering the rotation, the stabilizer throws the load on one side of the car to another, while trying to keep the housing of your iron horse in parallel to the road.

Where do you need a stabilizer?

The transverse stability stabilizer is needed, not even replace when driving at high speeds. It helps the car as quickly as possible without losing speed, pass the turn, preventing it from tipping over.

Disadvantages of stabilizer Pu

Usually, if somewhere we win in something, then there is a place in which you losing and no exception. The fact is that the stabilizer itself reduces the movement of the car suspension and on the off-road wheel, in difficult places, simply, they simply have a clutch with an expensive. Therefore, SUVs have either an electronic shutdown of the stabilizer, or it is easily removed. On electronic systems, the stabilizer turns on after 20 km / h It is necessary, in case you forgot to turn it on.

What will happen if you put a thicker or hard stabilizer?

Many will say: so let's throw out your standard transverse stability stabilizers and put a fat sports spa. The fact is that the system is designed for each car individually. If you put the more rigid, independent suspension will become dependent, as allowed on the rear-wheel drive, at the occasion on the bodie one wheel will be felt and others will also be comfortable. To improve manageability at speed, it is better to put hard springs and short-terrestrial, but you have to sacrifice comfort
