Bush for stabilizer, fastening tool, and fastening method
Bonding the bush to the stabilizer bar, by surface pressure in the bonding surface (inner circumferential surface) of the hole-part of the bush being made uniform, bonding strength is obtained. The first arc part is formed at the opposite side of the opening of the U-shaped part of the bracket in the bonding and second arc part is formed in the opening side, in the hole-part of the bush. The first and second arc parts are circular arc parts being formed in circular arc shape or approximately circular arc shape or are ellipse arc part being formed in the ellipse arc shape or approximately ellipse arc shape. In the hole-part, the center of the first and second arc parts are separated. The curvature radius of the second arc part gets smaller than the curvature radius of the first arc part. The hole-part is formed in an oval shape.
TORQUE ROD, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TORQUE ROD
A torque rod capable of suppressing an outside member from being deformed or broken at the time of a vulcanized molding. A torque rod includes: a first antivibration device including: a cylindrical outside member having an axial end face, an axial inside member disposed on an internal peripheral side of the outside member, and an antivibration base body including a rubber-like elastic body adhered, in a vulcanized manner, to an external peripheral face of the inside member and to an internal peripheral face of the outside member; and a connecting member connected to a second antivibration device connecting two members by a rubber-like elastic body, the connecting member being an article integrated with the outside member, wherein the outside member includes a level difference which is provided at the axial end face around an entire circumference and which has a radial outside axially concaved relative to a radial inside.
ELASTOMERIC ELEMENT RETENTION
An elastomeric element for mounting a current collection device includes an inner hub member; an outer ring defining an exterior annular surface of the elastomeric element; and an intermediate ring of elastomeric material disposed between the inner hub member and the outer ring. The outer ring includes a plurality of segments individually connected to the intermediate ring and wherein the outer ring comprises at least one locking feature configured to be engaged to prevent rotation of the elastomeric element within a housing.
UNIT BEARING HAVING A CARRYING ELEMENT AND PRODUCTION METHOD
A unit bearing includes a bearing body configured to be received by a rigid bearing housing provided with an opening on at least one side, a carrier element and at least one support member engaging the rigid bearing housing through the opening. The bearing body includes elastomer abutments. The elastomer abutments are disposed between the rigid bearing housing and the support member. The carrier element is disposed between the support member and the elastomer abutments. The unit bearing is configured such that relative movements of the bearing body with respect to the bearing housing caused by loading of the support member along three mutually orthogonal directions are limited by the elastomer abutments.
Elastomeric bushing with ferrule
An elastomeric bushing comprises an inner sleeve including a first end face and an opposite second end face. An elastomeric bumper is disposed around and directly engages the inner sleeve. The elastomeric bumper includes an annular void. An outer sleeve is disposed around the inner sleeve and the elastomeric bumper, spaced apart from the inner sleeve, and directly engages the elastomeric bumper. A one-piece monolithic ferrule includes a cylindrical sidewall surrounding a portion of the inner sleeve, an end wall, and a collar. The end wall radially inwardly extends from the side wall and overlaps the first end face of the inner sleeve. The collar has an outer surface positioned within the outer sleeve and within the annular void to limit the radial extent of relative movement between the inner and outer sleeves.
Suspension bushing and system for powertrain of electrical vehicle
A suspension bushing for a powertrain of an electric vehicle includes a mandrel, an outer sleeve and a rubber mainspring connected between the mandrel and the outer sleeve. The rubber main spring includes multiple main parts arranged at intervals and surrounding the outer contour of the mandrel. At least one side of each of the main parts is provided with an extending part. An end surface of the extending part and an end surface of each main part form a stepped structure.
Elastomeric mount with single ferrule for snubbing in one axial direction
An elastomeric mount comprises an elastomeric body disposed around an inner sleeve and defines first and second annular voids. The first annular void extends in a first direction and the second annular void extends in a second direction opposite to the first direction into the elastomeric body. The first annular void overlaps the second annular void. An outer sleeve is disposed around the elastomeric body and spaced apart from the inner sleeve, directly engaging the elastomeric body. A ferrule is fixed to the inner sleeve. The ferrule includes a stop face spaced apart from the elastomeric body and adapted to limit relative axial movement between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The ferrule includes a sidewall spaced apart from the elastomeric body and adapted to limit relative radial movement between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve.
Elastomeric bushing
An elastomeric bushing includes an inner sleeve, a travel limiter disposed around the inner sleeve, an elastomeric bumper disposed around and directly engaging the travel limiter, and an outer sleeve disposed around the inner sleeve, the travel limiter and the elastomeric bumper. The outer sleeve is spaced apart from the inner sleeve and directly engages the elastomeric bumper. The travel limiter includes a radially outwardly extending first protrusion and a diametrically opposed radially outwardly extending second protrusion. A first portion of the elastomeric bumper is bounded by a first reduced diameter portion of the outer sleeve and the first and second protrusions. A second portion of the elastomeric bumper is bounded by a second reduced diameter portion of the outer sleeve and the first and second protrusions. The elastomeric bumper includes diametrically opposed voids axially extending therethrough. The voids are circumferentially rotated relative to the first and second protrusions.
