Abstract
The present invention relates to an axle suspension for heavy vehicles, in particular trucks, comprising an axle beam which bears axle parts projecting over at oppositely disposed sides, each axle part preferably bearing a wheel drive; an axle beam bearing which permits upward and downward movements of the axle beam as well as pendular movements of the axle beam around a substantially lying pendular axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the axle parts; a spring device for the resilient support of the upward and downward movements of the axle beam at a vehicle frame; and also a pendular damping device for the damping of the pendular movements of the axle beam. The invention is characterized in that the pendular damping device has a rotary axle which is pivoted to a part connected to the vehicle frame and drives a damping lever rotatably pivoted to the axle beam in a rotary manner on pendular movements of the axle beam, said damping lever acting on at least one damping element fastened to the axle beam.
