SUSPENSION COMPONENT WITH A MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SUSPENSION COMPONENT OF THIS KIND
Disclosed is a chassis component (1, 38) having a measuring device (9) for determining a relative position of two chassis components connected movably with one another. For example, a first chassis component is a joint (2) with at least one rotation axis (8) and a second chassis component is a structural component (3), the structural component (3) being mounted by means of the joint (2) so that it can pivot around the rotation axis (8) of the joint (2). The measuring device (9) has a signal emitter (13) and a sensor device (10, 28) with a signal receiver (21), where the sensor device (10, 28) is arranged on the structural component (3) and the signal emitter (13) is arranged on the joint (2). To improve an arrangement of the sensor device (10, 28) on the structural component (3), the sensor device (10, 28) extends through a through-opening (11).
ELASTIC ARTICULATION
An elastic articulation comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve is provided. The first sleeve and the second sleeve each include a respective outer armature, a respective inner armature, and a respective elastic body between their respective outer and inner armatures. The elastic articulation also comprises a ring longitudinally connecting the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The ring forms a radial stop between the inner armature and the outer armature of the first sleeve, and between the inner armature and the outer armature of the second sleeve. The elastic articulation improves damping control in different directions.
Rubber bush
A rubber bush with an inner part (2) which extends in an axial direction (x), an outer sleeve (3) which surrounds the inner part (2) at a spacing and comprises two half shells (4, 5) which are configured as identical parts, and a rubber body (6) which is arranged between the inner part (2) and the outer sleeve (3), wherein the half shells (3, 4) are connected to the inner part (2) by the rubber body (6) and, at their circumferential-side ends which face one another, have projections (7, 8) and depressions (9, 10), into which the projections (7, 8) are insertable.
Elastomeric Bushing With Travel Limiter
An elastomeric bushing comprises an inner sleeve, an elastomeric bumper disposed around and directly engaging the inner sleeve, and an outer sleeve disposed around the inner sleeve and the elastomeric bumper. The outer sleeve is spaced apart from the inner sleeve and directly engages the elastomeric bumper. The inner sleeve includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion axially spaced apart from one another. The outer sleeve includes a radially inwardly extending indentation axially positioned between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The indentation traps a first portion of the elastomeric bumper between the first protrusion and a first surface of the indentation and also traps a second portion of the elastomeric bumper between the second protrusion and a second surface of the indentation.
Subframe mounting bush structure
A subframe mounting bush structure for improving NVH performance is provided. The subframe mounting bush structure includes an outer shell, a first bridge formed in the outer shell along a longitudinal direction, a second bridge formed in the outer shell along the longitudinal direction, a first inner shell positioned at a center of the first bridge, and a second inner shell positioned at a center of the second bridge.
SLIDING BUSHING
Provided is a sliding bushing in which an inner shaft member and an outer tube member are connected by a main rubber elastic body and sliding of the inner shaft member with respect to the main rubber elastic body is allowed. The inner shaft member includes a bulge part of a large diameter provided midway in an axial direction. The outer tube member includes a tapered part whose diameter decreases axially outward at both axial end portions. An outer peripheral surface of the bulge part in the inner shaft member includes a non-adhesive part that is non-adhesive to the main rubber elastic body and is allowed to slide with respect to the main rubber elastic body, and an outer peripheral surface axially outside the non-adhesive part in the inner shaft member includes an adhesive part to which the main rubber elastic body is adhered by vulcanization.
MOUNTING BUSHING
A mounting bushing for a vehicle satisfies durability requirements as well as performance, such as ride comfort, handling, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction. The mounting bushing includes an inner pipe, an elastic portion surrounding an external side of the inner pipe, an intermediate pipe surrounding an external side of the elastic portion and having a cutout provided in an axial direction, and an outer pipe surrounding an external side of the intermediate pipe. The elastic portion is formed of a material having a dynamic ratio lower than a dynamic ratio of a rubber material.
RUBBER-METAL BUSH BEARING
A rubber-metal bush bearing, in particular a control arm bearing for a motor vehicle wheel suspension, including a metal inner part, an elastomer body arranged radially relative to the inner part and a metal outer bush, wherein the elastomer body is fixed to the inner part and to the outer bush in material-bonded relationship and wherein the outer bush is for fixing in an associated bearing eye of an arm and the inner part has at both sides in terminal relationship a respective flat flange portion for fixing to a component. The inner part is an extruded hollow-chamber profile member which is cut to length and which at both longitudinal ends is transformed in terminal relationship into the respective flat flange portion in such a way that oppositely disposed wall portions of the hollow-chamber profile member are brought into mutual surface contact.
SLIDING BUSHING
Provided is a sliding bushing in which sliding of an inner shaft member with respect to a main rubber elastic body is allowed. The inner shaft member includes a bulge part provided midway in an axial direction. A braided cloth-like sliding liner is arranged between the inner shaft member and the main rubber elastic body so as to be non-adhesive and slidable with respect to the inner shaft member. In a portion of the sliding liner arranged on an outer periphery with respect to a large diameter part of the bulge part of the inner shaft member, a coarse part is provided of coarser braid mesh than a portion of the sliding liner arranged on an outer periphery with respect to a small diameter part on both axial sides of the large diameter part.
Vibration-damping device body and vibration-damping device
A vibration-damping device body (10) is provided that includes a first mounting member (11) mounted on one of a vibration-generating portion and a vibration-receiving portion via a bracket (2), a second mounting member (12) mounted on the other of the vibration-generating portion and the vibration-receiving portion, and an elastic body (13) connecting the first mounting member (11) and the second mounting member (12). The first mounting member (11) is fitted into a fitting hole (2a) formed in the bracket (2). A first guide portion (30) is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the first mounting member (11). A second guide portion (20 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the fitting hole (2a). The first guide portion (30) is fitted into the second guide portion (2f). The first mounting member (11) is formed of a synthetic resin material, and a metal fitting (40) having first engagement surfaces (42a) coming into contact with the second guide portion (2f) is arranged on the first guide portios (30).
