The unsprung mass (colloquially unsprung weight) of a vehicle is the mass of the suspension, wheels or tracks (as applicable), and other components directly...

sprung mass to unsprung mass ratio can also be deleterious to vehicle control.[citation needed] Unsprung mass "Sprung mass and Unsprung mass". ZigWheels...

Protean Electric and Lotus found that most negative effects of added unsprung mass could be eliminated by adding suspension damping, and that the ability...

suspension with their knees, making their mass be sprung mass, but all of the mass of the bicycles remains unsprung mass. At the other extreme are full suspension...

placement of the gearbox is unsuitable for a live axle (due to excessive unsprung mass), the rear suspension is either independent, or uses a de Dion tube...

springs, carried by the unsprung weight, carried by the tires, carried by the road. Unsprung weight is more properly regarded as a mass which has its own inherent...

and drive bogie-mounted gearboxes via cardan shafts; this reduces the unsprung mass and hence track wear at high speeds. The locomotive also features an...

wheels for motorsports. Lighter wheels can improve handling by reducing unsprung mass, allowing suspension to follow the terrain more closely and thus improve...

4 piston aluminum Brembo calipers, Pagid brake pads, (without ABS) Unsprung mass: 99 lb/121 lb (front corners/rear corners) Rosso Corsa (red): 302 Giallo...

an increased quantity of suspension components, in order to decrease unsprung mass. However, with a curb weight of 1,450 kg (3,197 lb), the E46 328ci is...

motors are integrated into the wheels. One disadvantage is that the unsprung mass increases and suspension responsiveness decreases, which impacts ride...

extended swingarm, lighter front brakes to reduce unsprung mass, lighter cast wheels to reduce rotating mass. Transmission had a number of parts changed due...

as the flexible nature of the spring makes precise control of the unsprung mass of the axle difficult. Some suspension designs use a Watts link (or...

outboard, they had extra tuned mass dampers to damp wheel bounce from the extra unsprung mass. Later models had tuned mass dampers ("batteurs") at the front...

vehicle. They provided the rear-engined sports car with a reduction in unsprung mass, using an alloy wheel. Still in production, current interest in the...

(605 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm. 19-inch light-alloy wheels were used to reduce unsprung mass, while modifications were also made to the suspension, with a stiffer...

suspension, semi-automatic transmission and inboard disc brakes to reduce unsprung mass. The Ro 80 still stands today as a milestone in automotive design. It...

DR 3700 F fully suspended, bogie mounted traction drives to reduce unsprung mass. In addition to taps for the traction inverters, the locomotive transformer...

placing motors inside wheels, given that AFM's low mass does not excessively increase a vehicle's unsprung mass. YASA is targeting motors that deliver 220 kw...

the spring and damper inboard increases the total mass of the suspension, but reduces the unsprung mass, and also allows the designer to make the suspension...

effect of the added unsprung mass by using slightly more suspension damping. What's more, they found that when that unsprung mass came from actual motors...

The MDX rides lower, which reduces its center of gravity. To reduce unsprung mass, the front suspension lower control arms are made from forged aluminum...

accelerometer to measure the relative motion of the sprung mass, corrected (sometimes) for the unsprung mass. Examples of these are the early ARAN systems (Canada)...

aluminium) was attached to the rear axle which meant it was part of the unsprung mass of the suspension. The clutch and gearbox were placed at odd locations...

Brakes consist of Girling disc brakes, inboard mounted (to reduce unsprung mass) at all four wheels. The brakes are hydraulically controlled with a...
