Leaf spring for Demag AC80-1

The leaf spring, part number 967 118 00, functions as a critical element within the suspension assembly of the Demag AC80-1 mobile crane. It consists of stacked steel plates that manage the load distribution across the chassis, helping to maintain the vehicle's ride height and supporting the weight of the crane during transport and operation. By allowing for controlled movement and articulation of the axles, this component assists in managing the forces exerted on the crane's structure when navigating varying terrain.

This component is specifically engineered for fitment on the Demag AC80-1 model. Regular inspection of the leaf spring is necessary to identify any signs of deformation or structural fatigue that may occur over time due to the operational demands placed on the suspension system. Proper maintenance of the suspension components ensures the crane remains stable and level during its movement between work sites.

Leaf springs serve as the primary load-bearing members in heavy vehicle suspension systems. They absorb energy from uneven ground surfaces and distribute the weight of the machine across the axle assembly, which stabilizes the chassis and protects the frame from excessive impact forces.
