Leaning vehicle
A leaning vehicle has a frame, a straddle seat, a motor, a shock tower pivotally connected the frame, the frame being pivotable relative to the shock tower, and front left and right suspension assemblies connected the frame. Each of the front left and right suspension assemblies comprises a leg operatively connected to a corresponding front left or right ground engaging member and being rotatable about a steering axis, an upper suspension arm having a first end pivotally connected to the frame and a second end pivotally connected to the leg, a lower suspension arm having a first end pivotally connected to the frame and a second end pivotally connected to the leg and a shock absorber having an upper end connected to the shock tower and a lower end connected to the lower suspension arm and a brake assembly connected to the frame and the shock tower.
Axle arrangement with modularly fixable axle setting, and method for the production thereof, and motor vehicle with twist beam axle
An axle arrangement is provided having a wheel carrier with fastening arms. By placement of an assembly opening in the fastening arm in a motor vehicle transverse direction (Y), it is possible to fix the track width with the use of identical parts.
Control Arm Socket Assembly
The control arm assembly includes a control arm body and a socket assembly for connecting the control arm body with a vehicle frame. The socket assembly includes a housing with an inner bore which extends along a vertical axis between opposite open ends. A stud extends past the open ends and has an axially extending through passage. The stud has a pair of end portions on opposite sides of a ball portion that has a curved outer surface which is in sliding contact with a bearing surface for allowing the control arm body to pivot relative to the stud and the vehicle frame. The through passage is eccentrically located in a radial direction on the stud for translating the control arm body relative to the vehicle frame in response to rotation of the stud relative to the housing to adjust a camber angle of the wheel assembly.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
A method and apparatus for a camber adjustment system for a control arm of the subject matter of the present disclosure which allows the quick change of camber settings of a vehicle by utilizing a pill adjustment component containing several camber settings including a track and street setting.
SPINDLE SYSTEM FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CORRECTION WITH BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
A spindle sleeve and washer for adjusting the camber, toe, or thrust angle of a vehicle wheel to a desired predetermined angle which allows for use of existing hub and spindle assembly without permanent modification to the vehicle.
Motor vehicle rear axle with elastic mounting
A rear axle arrangement for a motor vehicle is disclosed having two independent wheel suspension systems with in each case at least two links and a wheel support. The links producing a connection between the vehicle body and the wheel support and being coupled at their ends in a relatively movable manner via elastic bearings. In the case of static wheel loading, the wheels of the rear axle exhibiting toe-in, which rear axle arrangement is distinguished by at least one elastic bearing of a link having a frequency-dependent bearing stiffness in such a way that, in the case of driving straight ahead and high-frequency dynamic wheel loading, a change into toe-out takes place on account of an increasing bearing stiffness of the bearing and the wheel is pressed into negative camber as a result of the change into toe-out.
SPINDLE SYSTEM FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CORRECTION
A spindle sleeve and washer for adjusting the camber, toe, or thrust angle of a vehicle wheel to a desired predetermined angle which allows for use of existing hub and spindle assembly without permanent modification to the vehicle.
Camber adjusting assembly
An apparatus and a method are provided for a camber adjustment assembly, comprising: first and second end plates coupled to a substantially planar center portion, wherein the first and second end plates comprise a generally triangular configuration; a chassis element coupled to a trailing arm and the camber adjustment assembly, and wherein a force may be applied to the camber adjustment assembly so as to desirably induce a positive or negative camber condition.
Crane comprising a steering system
A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame, for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels having two steering wheels; and a steering system. The steering system includes a linear steering actuator, which is hinged, on one side, to the base frame and, on the other side, to a bar having two ends. Each end of the bar is hinged to a respective rotary element around a respective hinging axis. Each rotary element rotates around a respective rotation axis and is constrained in rotation to the respective steering wheel to steer it.
Riding mower trailing arm suspension system
Provided is a trailing arm riding mower suspension system that includes trailing arms adapted to support hydraulic motor units and having leading ends pivotally coupled to a mower frame by way of leading end spherical joints and trailing ends having hydraulic drive unit mounts, where the trailing arms are adapted to pivot about leading end pivot locations defined by the leading end spherical joints.
