Abstract: This project explores an innovative alternative to conventional suspension systems in automobiles by employing a spring-less suspension mechanism using a bevel gauge-based geometry. Traditional suspension systems rely heavily on coil or leaf springs to absorb shocks and provide ride comfort, but they also add to the vehicle’s complexity, maintenance needs, and weight. The proposed design replaces these springs with a mechanical linkage system involving bevel gears and angular displacement gauges (bevel gauges) to dynamically adjust and distribute loads across the chassis. The bevel gear arrangement converts vertical wheel movements into controlled horizontal displacements, which can be efficiently absorbed and balanced by the structural frame of the vehicle. This system aims to provide improved stability, reduced vehicle weight, and lower maintenance requirements while maintaining or enhancing ride comfort and handling. The design is particularly suitable for off-road or rugged-terrain vehicles where spring fatigue and failure are common. Experimental simulations and prototype models suggest that this method offers promising results in terms of durability, mechanical efficiency, and adaptability.
