In order to develop a 1 ton truck rear wheel air suspension module, this study designed and manufactured a Z-type spring and air suspension module test jig to optimize the design and reliability of the Z-type spring and vibration-free air suspension module, which are core parts, and to secure the reliability of the developed parts. We were able to achieve the technology development goal of this thesis by making a prototype and conducting a test evaluation at an external test and research institute to perform the vibration endurance test aimed in this study.

The Z-type spring is a key part of the non-vibration air suspension. The non-vibration air suspension was developed long ago and widely used in developed countries. It has strong durability, provides a smooth ride, protects the vehicle body, and protects luggages from damage in truck. In this study, the structural strength of the Z-type spring was evaluated by computing the maximum displacement and the von Mises maximum stress results from applying the load condition based on the maximum weight of luggage in the rear space of a truck.
