Hendrickson Europe: H-CP™ SERIES
   
 
Short Summary
H-CP™, a revolutionary, non-torque-reactive, lightweight drive axle suspension system, combines superior ride and improved stability with reduced weight and superior chassis packaging.

With it’s unique patented design, H-CP helps deliver quiet, smooth operation even with today’s most powerful engines. H-CP proves ideal for weight sensitive applications with the additional benefits of outstanding durability and reduced lifecycle costs.

Driveline angles are maintained throughout axle travel, thereby reducing suspension-induced driveline vibration. H-CP’s parallelogram geometry eliminates the frame rise that is characteristic on trailing arm suspensions, minimising wear and tear on driveline components.

Unlike other air suspensions that carry the vertical load on a combination of steel springs and air spring,
H-CP rides on a full cushion of air. By carrying 100 percent of the vertical load on specially designed air springs, H-CP delivers up to a 34-percent ride improvement.

Elimination of the anti-roll bar increases packaging space, while the multifunctional front hanger increases forward packaging by 150 mm.
Features and Benefits

  • H-CP replaces the traditional anti-roll bar and “A-frame”, reducing the component count by up to 60 percent — slashing weight
    and improving assembly time
  • Outstanding ride
  • Large volume, direct-acting air springs support the entire load while providing improved ride and comfort
  • Simple design reacts to multi-axial loading, improving stability and control
  • Torque box can be tuned to suit individual customer ride and handling requirements
  • More road time
  • Maintenance-free bushings and a simplified design minimises vehicle down time, improves productivity and reduces costs
  • Flexibility
  • Optimised packaging for all axle configurations
  • Axle can be run in leading or trailing configurations
  • Tag available in single or twin, fixed-wheel and steering configurations
  • Unique design allows easy addition of lifting systems
  • Elimination of anti-roll bar increases rear packaging space for fitment of ancilliary equipment and additional tanks
  • Multi-functional front hanger combines torque rod, air spring and upper damper mounting to increase forward packaging
    space by 150mm
