Ressorts à barre de torsion. Ils se présentent sous la forme d'une barre d'acier cylindrique reliée, d'une part, au châssis par un ancrage et, d'autre part, à la roue par un bras articulé. Les oscillations verticales de la roue entraînent une torsion de la barre qui subit une déformation élastique et revient ensuite à sa position initiale. Les conditions de travail d'une barre de torsion exigent que cette pièce soit faite d'un acier de qualité et correctement usinée [...] Ces ressorts sont peu encombrants et leur forme simple permet de les placer facilement. 4, record 1, French, - barre%20de%20torsion
