Abstract

This paper presents an innovative approach to vehicle suspension by replacing conventional coil spring mech- anisms with a springless system based on bevel gears. Traditional suspension systems, while effective, often suffer from drawbacks such as component fatigue, frequent maintenance, and suboptimal energy efficiency, especially under rugged terrain conditions. To address these limitations, the proposed suspension design in- troduces a compact and mechanically simplified set-up comprising bevel gears positioned at right angles, a rotating shaft for torque transmission, and independent 12V DC motors for each wheel. This arrangement not only improves power transmission efficiency but also enables smoother and more responsive terrain adaptabil- ity, offering better control and improved ride comfort. The study includes a detailed system design, component selection, working principles, and analytical calculations to validate the feasibility of the concept. Simulations and prototype tests were carried out to assess suspension performance compared to traditional spring-based configurations. Key performance indicators such as vibration damping, mechanical wear, and torque distri- bution were analyzed to determine the practical advantages of the gear-based system. The results indicate a notable reduction in maintenance needs and mechanical complexity, along with increased durability under variable load conditions. Designed primarily for off-road and military grade applications, this suspension sys- tem demonstrates significant promise in terms of robustness, reliability and efficiency. In addition, the paper outlines the potential for future improvements, including noise reduction, long-term material durability, and the integration of intelligent feedback systems. In general, this study contributes to a forward-thinking solu- tion to the field of automotive engineering by introducing a low-maintenance high-performance alternative to traditional suspension designs.
