Emu Dakar leaf springs cater
for commercial vehicles and those who regularly carry heavy
loads.
Military Wrap. Designed to provide added safety
Draw Tapered & Diamond Cut Leaves. To reduce interleaf
friction and to ensure that load distribution occurs
at the leaf tips - this significantly contributes to
spring life
Anti
Friction Pads. Regreasable nylon interleaf liners reduce
friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest
Graphite Coating. To further reduce the friction between
the spring leaves & friction pads
Bolt Clamps & Liners. The leaf clamps are bolted to
allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners
Shot Peening. The tension side of all leaves is shot
peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double
the life of a spring
Flat Axle Seat Area. Allows a positive, safe axle mount
reducing spring stress & increasing spring life
Fully Scragged & Load Tested. Scragging ensures the
spring takes a permanent 'set' which reduces the risk
of sagging. Load testing ensures the spring meets the
required specification
Please note: Most Emu Dakar leaf springs have all
the listed features, but where design or a physical
limitation exists one or more of these features may
not be incorporated. Please check with your OME licensed
fitter for further information.
When
developing rear Emu Dakar leaf springs, OME engineers invariably
opt for a 2-stage leaf pack. When unladen, your vehicle
rides largely on the primary stage, thus ensuring a smooth,
comfortable ride. When your vehicle is heavily laden, the
secondary stage is employed for additional support.
GVM upgrades
are also available for a number of vehicles.
