Development of Tractor Seat Suspension System for Improving the Ride Comfort

Shukla, Deep / Modi, Saurabh / Trivedi, Reena

In the present study, the vibration of the driver’s seat of agricultural tractors is investigated. Considering three different weight of operators and only seat suspension system of the tractor, simulation is carried out. The suspension system is to be developed for improving the ride comfort for the tractor operator. The damper is designed for the suspension system of the seat for increasing the ride comfort. After setting up the model in finite element analysis simulation, joints were given. The bump profile was created and exported in simulation software for calculating the time of tractor to run over the bump. The time calculated is used in giving the bump-like motion to the seat. Three different weights are considered, a spring preload needs to be adjusted according to the weight. A methodology is developed to reduce the acceleration of the seat when it travels over the bump. It is observed during the simulation that the bottoming was observed when the seat travels over the bump. An iterative method is carried out for designing the damper for different weight of operators. A damper is designed for reducing the acceleration and dynamic force of the operator seat.
