SAF-HOLLAND has announced significant engineering updates, as well as the expansion of the application breadth to its CBX Series Suspension System offering, for the North American Trailer Market.
One of the most significant engineering innovations responsible for the lower weight and increased application coverage is the introduction of the Company’s new Fusion Beam Technology. This innovative approach to trailing arm beam design is currently being integrated into the CBX Series line-up of suspension systems including the CBX40, CBX23, CBX25 and the CBX25/30.
Fusion Beam Technology represents the fusion of a fabricated tailpiece to the back of the suspension’s cast steel beam to create a component that can be configured to meet a wider range of systems dimension requirements and meet a wider range of application demands. The new beam technology reduces trailing arm beam weight without compromising structural integrity by combining two proven suspension technologies to produce one efficient high-strength component. Fusion Beams will be offered in a variety of beam dimensions to meet current and future van and vocational applications.
Another weight saving and performance enhanced engineering feature integrated into the updated CBX Series is the optimized SAF X-Series 5-3/4” round Axle. The SAF X-Series Axle offers a number of options to achieve best-in-class suspension configurations.
SAF-HOLLAND’s Fusion Beam Technology, the SAF X-Series 5 -3/4” Axle, along with the proven features and performance of the CBX-Series Suspension systems provides an opportunity for greater flexibility and application adaptability today and in the future.
