MBS Omega

• With several patented innovations, the new MBS OMEGA is a completely new revolutionary light weight air suspension system, suitable for most Ø146mm axles for applications up to 10t axle load.
• With a system weight of approx. 100kg per row it is the lightest spring steel air suspension system on the market.
• This multi-purpose air suspension can be used on a wide range of standard trailers operating in on- and off-road conditions.
• The air suspension is clamped around the axle using U-bolts and is held in position by an ingenious cold formed recess in the axle beam, which in most cases can be made in the axle at any stage of the axle assembly process.
• The unique forged flexible spring steel trailing arm has a revolutionary new “omega” shape which optimizes the weight whilst sustaining the desired capacity and strength.
• The complete range consists of two concepts with only two types of trailing arms.
• Maintenance-free system.
• The HTLT shock absorbers are equipped with high/low temperature Viton seals and designed to be the stroke limiter of the suspension system

MBS OMEGA BLADE

Especially for trailer builders seeking to optimize chassis production, VDL Weweler has developed the MBS OMEGA “BLADE” solution. The only difference from the rest of the range is the special chassis connection, known as “BLADE.”This “BLADE” bracket design is a patented chassis mounting, which allows the customer to make their own sheet-metal hanger bracket plate and incorporate this in their finished chassis. As the MBS OMEGA systems are end-coated, they can simply be bolted to the finished chassis. The unique alignment feature of the “BLADE” includes a new pivot bush design, in which the classic pivot bush is eliminated and replaced by two conical shells that are clamped between the hanger bracket mountings and the conical-shaped front section of the spring steel trailing arm.The system alignment is very easy and done by rotating the hanger brackets mountings over the center top bolts. Besides being unique, the Blade-style hanger bracket design is light weight and welded in the middle of the chassis rail, meaning fewer reinforcements are required in the chassis beam.
