The AL-KO rubber suspension axle has been designed
& developed to suit all types of road conditions and is
maintenance free.
Three rubber elements are contained within an hexagonal
axle tube. These provide suspension and have inherent
damping characteristics.
Figs 8, 9 & 10 show the deformation of the rubber elements
at the extremes of suspension movement.
The axle is designed to ride with the suspension drop arm at,
or slightly below, the horizontal position.
