Compact pendular steered suspension
Simple steered and driven pendular suspension. Very compact and strong, needs no rare parts. Step-by-step instruction provided.
One of my most popular and useful ideas. It’s a simple driven and steered pendular suspension, built without use of any rare parts like universal joints etc. It requires mainly liftarms and bevel gears. The full parts list can be seen here. The entire module’s dimensions are 15x8x5 studs plus wheels. The weight is 82 grams, and it has been successfully tested under 2 kilograms of load. All the moving parts are enclosed in liftarm frame. You can find a complete step-by-step instruction on the photos below.

No, they don’t.
Dont the teeth on th diff rub the casing
@Jon Håvard
This design comes from before the 3-studs wide differential. I suggest to check my newer ideas.
Could you make one with the 3-studs diff? Guess you have other plans…
no offence
@freakybuilders
No, I lost this file somewhere.
Could you please send me the LDraw File to freakybuilders@web.de?
Thanks
@Salih
You can build one from the Lego 8880 set.
Can you post instructions for steered, independent suspension with drive or tell me a website where i can find one please?
@Alexr
You should add shock absorbers for stability. There are plenty of ways to do so.
@Sariel
so you what you are saying is that you don’t need springs.
but wont it just tip over?
@Bartek
Nie.
Szkoda, jestem Twoim fanem i często wzoruje się na Twoich projektach
Miałeś może kiedyś problem z silnikiem PF XL taki iż kabelki nie łączyły??
@Bartek
1. Bo 90% odwiedzających to osoby spoza Polski. A po polsku moje konstrukcje opisuję na Lugpolu.
2. Nie.
Witaj, dlaczego tu jest wszystko po angielsku skoro to jest polska strona??
Chciałem się spytać czy robisz instrukcje do swoich projektów ????
@Dan
No, I don’t, sorry.
Hey Sariel, would you still have the ldraw file from this, do you still have it kicking around, I’m working on changing the way it is driven and it takes way too long by physical bricks. So maybe you could send me the file? Anyways great job on this system, I’m going to be using it for my physics project involving the purpose of differential gears, it was the best one I’ve found.
