Roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle
A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle includes a torsion bar and a vibration damper located on the torsion bar. The vibration damper is configured to vibrate relative to the torsion bar. The vibration damper includes two half-shells formed together about the torsion bar. Damper elements are disposed between the half-shells. The damper elements can be adjusted via an adjustment component to alter the rigidity of the damper elements.
ADJUSTABLE CAMBER AND CASTER BUSHING
An adjustable camber and caster bushing. The bushing comprises a planar portion having a first side, a second side, an aperture and an outer perimeter. The bushing also comprises a tubular portion, which is integrally formed with and unitary with the planar portion. The tubular portion comprises an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first end, and a second end. The inner diameter defines an aperture extending the length of the tubular portion. The inner diameter is tapered, while the outer diameter remains constant. The tubular portion also comprises a slot extending the length of the tubular portion.
DAMPING MECHANISM AND VEHICLE
A damping mechanism and a vehicle are provided. The damping mechanism includes: a spindle; an elastic cushion assembly used to couple the spindle and the vehicle body; a coupling arm having a first end used to be fixedly coupled to an axle of the wheel and a second end pivotally coupled to the spindle; and a locking assembly provided between the coupling arm and the spindle and used to switch the coupling arm and the spindle between at least two locking states and a unlocking state. In the unlocking state, the coupling arm is rotatable, and in the locking states, the coupling arm is locked; in each of the locking states, the coupling arm is in different locking positions relative to the spindle; and when the coupling arm is in different locking positions, the coupling arm is at different angles to a horizontal plane.
Suspension unit
The invention relates to a suspension unit, in particular for commercial vehicles, including an arm and a support element. The support element includes a support region and a support-side engagement region and comprises as a single piece, and the arm has an arm-side engagement region. A first engaging structure is provided on the arm-side engagement region, the engaging structure being attachable to a second engaging structure located on the support-side engagement region, and the support region includes a securing portion that fixes an air spring bellows and a rolling surface.
DOUBLE WISHBONE TYPE SUSPENSION DEVICE
A lower arm 13 of a double wishbone type suspension device includes a substantially linear lateral arm 19 of which one end is connected to a vehicle body and the other end is connected to a knuckle 11 and a compression arm 20 of which one end is connected to the vehicle body and the other end is connected to a middle portion of the lateral arm 19 in the vehicle width direction, the lateral arm 19 is connected to a lower end of a stabilizer link 31 at the inside of a hole portion 19a opened to an upper surface of the lateral arm, and the other end of the compression arm 20 is connected to the lateral arm 19 at bifurcated portions 20a and 20b interposing the hole portion 19a from the inside and the outside in the vehicle width direction.
SUSPENSION STRUT AND ABUTMENT ELEMENT
A suspension strut includes a cylinder having a piston moveable in the cylinder, a coil spring arranged around the cylinder, and an abutment element for mounting the coil spring. The position of the abutment element is adjustably fixable along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder with respect to one direction, the cylinder has a male thread, and the abutment element has a female thread corresponding to the male thread. A thread insert is arranged in the abutment element, the thread insert has a holding region and an actuating region, and the region between the holding region and the actuating region can be arranged in the threads of the male thread of the cylinder. A holding means for the holding region is in the abutment element, the actuating region is mounted moveably in the abutment element, and the diameter of the thread insert is variable by movement of the actuating region.
Tandem axle suspension system with fixed keeper and slipper springs
A tandem axle assembly includes a first slipper spring and a second slipper spring. The two slipper springs are configured or oriented in series with the slipper ends of the two slipper springs oriented toward each other. A keeper for a tandem axle suspension assembly is also disclosed.
Vehicle with chassis height and track width adjustments
A machine includes a chassis, a plurality of ground-engaging elements supporting the chassis above a ground surface, a motor for driving at least one of the ground-engaging elements and a plurality of assemblies supporting the chassis on the ground-engaging elements. Each of the assemblies is configured to selectively raise and lower the chassis relative to the ground surface and includes a first attachment component for attaching the assembly to one of the ground-engaging elements, a second attachment component for attaching the assembly to the chassis, an adjustment component for shifting the first attachment component between a plurality of operating positions relative to the second attachment component. A control system allows an operator to remotely control the adjustment components of each of the assemblies.
CONNECTOR AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE
Provided is a configuration capable of supplying compressed air to a pneumatic apparatus while supplying electric power to an electric vehicle. A connector is connected to a vehicle provided with an air suspension device to which compressed air is supplied, and supplies electric power supplied from an electric power supply unit to the vehicle. The connector includes a charging connection portion that supplies electric power to the vehicle, and an air supply connection portion that supplies compressed air to the air suspension device.
OFF ROAD VEHICLE
An off-road vehicle includes a frame, a front suspension, and a rear suspension. In some examples of the off-road vehicle, the rear suspension includes trailing arms with are pivotally attached to the frame rearward of an operator area. Further, the frame can include a front subframe assembly and a rear subframe assembly which are easily removable from the main frame of the vehicle to permit access to various components of the off-road vehicle.
