Suspension Calculation for Baja ATV

Sachithananthan Jayaprakash

Abstract: Spring is a key component of any suspension system. In suspension systems, springs are primarily employed to absorb shock energy and to return displaced parts to their original positions to start the specified function. The spring maintains ride height, supports the vehicle's weight, and cushions road shocks. Helical coil compression springs are the type of spring that suspension systems employ the most frequently. The main issue with automobile is that when spring bouncing is out of control, it makes it difficult for the car to handle and causes an uncomfortable ride. In order to have the most efficient suspension system for a BAJA ATV, this paper describes the reverse calculation of the suspension system and ultimately determines the necessary free length, stiffness, and pitch of a helical compression spring. To make the theoretical calculations as accurate as possible, the relevant data is calculated and acquired in order to derive average values for various design parameters.
