Damper mount attachment structure and damper mount
A damper mount structure improves accuracy of positioning to increase assembling efficiency and includes a damper mount for fixing an upper portion of a suspension device to an attachment opening formed in a vehicle body. The damper mount includes: a housing to be mounted on the upper portion of the suspension device; a stay which protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the housing and is brought in contact with a lower surface of a circumferential edge of the attachment opening in a state that the housing has been inserted through the attachment opening to attach the housing to the circumferential edge of the attachment opening; and a plurality of ribs which connect the stay with an outer circumferential surface of the housing. A first rib, a second rib, and a third rib include side surfaces, respectively, facing an inner circumferential surface of the attachment opening.
Wheel carrier assembly for a front axle or rear axle of a motor vehicle
A wheel carrier assembly for a front axle or rear axle of a motor vehicle, with a wheel carrier part on which a link for a control arm assembly, a fixing device for a damper strut and a recess for a wheel bearing are provided. The wheel carrier part includes an air guide device for supplying air to a disk brake assembly, which as brake parts has at least a brake disk and a brake caliper. The wheel carrier part has a circumferentially hollow wheel carrier housing part. The air guide device includes at least one air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening directed onto a brake part.
Device for decoupling vibrations between two systems and the working machine
A device together with an assigned working machine for decoupling vibrations between two systems (2, 4) in the form of spring-mass oscillators, of which one system (2) is assigned to a motion machine and the other system (4) is assigned to an operator operating the motion machine. The other system (4) at least partially performs motions about a transverse axis (Q) during driving motions of the motion machine and in doing so is subject to vertical motions in the direction of a vertical axis (z) at an absolute vertical speed (v.sub.z1,1) serving as an input variable of control devices and/or regulating devices. Those devices control a damping system (8) of the one system (2) and/or the other system (4) to compensate for the vibrations. The respective pitch motion of the other system (4) is detected by at least one rotation rate sensor. The respective measured value (ω.sub.1) of the sensor, preferably amplified by only a predeterminable factor (L.sub.1), results in the absolute vertical speed (v.sub.z1,1) as input variable.

Decoupling bearing for a suspension strut, suspension strut having a decoupling bearing and vehicle having a suspension strut
A decoupling bearing for a suspension strut or a pneumatic suspension strut may include a suspension strut cup and a connecting element that can be connected to a vehicle body. A damping element may be arranged between the suspension strut cup and the connecting element. The suspension strut cup may be connected to the connecting element by the damping element. Further, the damping element may be adhesively bonded to the connecting element and the suspension strut cup in a force-transmitting manner, and/or the damping element may be adhesively bonded to the connecting element and an intermediate element in a force-transmitting manner. The intermediate element may be connected to the suspension strut cup.
Bracket for attachment with a hydraulic damper assembly and a method of joining a bracket and a hydraulic damper assembly
A bracket comprises a body extending along a center axis between a first end and a second end. The body defines a first groove and a second groove. The first groove, located at the first end and flaring radially outwardly, presents a first slanted surface. The second groove, located at the second end and flaring radially outwardly, presents a second slanted surface. A pair of coupling members including a first and a second coupling member are respectively located in the first and second grooves for engagement with a housing of a hydraulic damper assembly. The first end includes at least one first deformation for retaining the first coupling member. The second end includes at least one second deformation for retaining the second coupling member. A hydraulic damper assembly including the bracket and a method of joining the bracket and the hydraulic damper assembly are also disclosed herein.
DIFFERENTIAL HYDRAULIC BUFFER
Hydraulic systems and methods for reducing the propagation of flow and/or pressure pulsations within a hydraulic system are described. In one embodiment, a hydraulic system may include a hydraulic device and a differential buffer fluidly connected to the hydraulic device. The differential buffer may include a piston that is exposed to pressure pulsations that propagate along separate flow paths and that are at least partially out of phase with one another. Corresponding displacement of the piston due to the out of phase pulsations may at least partially mitigate propagation of the pulsations within the hydraulic system downstream from the differential buffer.
Suspension assembly for a tilting vehicle, forecarriage and tilting vehicle
