Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension (20) in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention that permits reducing the number of load cells (14) incorporated in a suspension (20) of a vehicle or a trailer such as a semi-trailer to be towed by a towing vehicle. In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention reduction of the number of load cells (14) is accomplished through the use of pivot joints (34) (that pivotally attach the suspension rockers (32) to the hangers 26) of reduced friction. In particular embodiments of the invention, the number and location of the low and lower friction pivot joints (34) may be chosen such as to increase the accuracy of measurement of the load cells. The invention also relates to load cell pins (62) for defining the pivot joint (34) that pivotally attaches rockers (32) to hangers (26) of the suspension (20).

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及根据本发明的第一实施例的悬架（20），其允许减少结合在车辆或拖车（例如半拖车）的悬架（20）中的称重传感器（14）的数量， 由牵引车牵引。 根据本发明的特定实施例，通过使用减小摩擦的枢转接头（34）将悬挂摇杆（32）枢转地附接到悬挂器26）来实现称重传感器（14）的数量的减少。 在本发明的特定实施例中，可以选择低和低摩擦枢转接头（34）的数量和位置，以提高称重传感器的测量精度。 本发明还涉及用于限定将摇臂（32）枢转地连接到悬架（20）的悬挂件（26）的枢转接头（34）的称重传感器销（62）。
