  • Independent linear suspension system
    Patent number: 11602966
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a chassis. An independent linear suspension system couples to the chassis. The independent linear suspension system includes a driveshaft that couples to the chassis and to a transmission. A wheel hub couples to the driveshaft and rotates a wheel in response to rotation of the driveshaft. A spindle couples to the wheel hub. A spindle carrier couples to the spindle. The spindle carrier defines a first aperture and a second aperture. A first pin extends through the first aperture. A second pin extends through the second aperture. The first pin and the second pin block rotation of the spindle carrier. The spindle carrier moves linearly along the first pin and the second pin.
