This paper describes the modeling and experimental validation of the performance of two height adjustment suspensions with concentrically and eccentrically mounted screws. In the former solution, an anti-rotation system is required for the generation of reaction torque on the power screw–nut mechanism. The anti-rotation represents the main drawback of such mechanisms. In contrast, the eccentric solution attempts to solve this problem by placing the screw–nut mechanism eccentrically with respect to the shock absorber tube axis. In this paper, the working principle of the eccentric solution is explained. Its performance is compared to the concentric counterpart through simulations and experiments. Although the efficiencies of eccentric and concentric systems are very similar at the power screw, overall efficiencies differ substantially. During lifting, average efficiencies are around 3.4% and 6.5% for concentric and eccentric systems, respectively. When lowering, these values are 6.2% and 26%. The higher overall efficiency of the eccentric screw system is attributed to the anti-rotation system and the balancing of the bending moment due to the offset application of the load. To yield a complete perspective on the eccentric mounted screw solution, four prototypes are installed and tested on a demo vehicle.

Abstract
This paper describes the modeling and experimental validation of the performance of two height adjustment suspensions with concentrically and eccentrically mounted screws. In the former solution, an anti-rotation system is required for the generation of reaction torque on the power screw–nut mechanism. The anti-rotation represents the main drawback of such mechanisms. In contrast, the eccentric solution attempts to solve this problem by placing the screw–nut mechanism eccentrically with respect to the shock absorber tube axis. In this paper, the working principle of the eccentric solution is explained. Its performance is compared to the concentric counterpart through simulations and experiments. Although the efficiencies of eccentric and concentric systems are very similar at the power screw, overall efficiencies differ substantially. During lifting, average efficiencies are around 3.4% and 6.5% for concentric and eccentric systems, respectively. When lowering, these values are 6.2% and 26%. The higher overall efficiency of the eccentric screw system is attributed to the anti-rotation system and the balancing of the bending moment due to the offset application of the load. To yield a complete perspective on the eccentric mounted screw solution, four prototypes are installed and tested on a demo vehicle.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
