A device for supplying hydraulic energy in a chassis system of a vehicle, including a first and a second motor-pump unit which are mechanically firmly connected to each other, the two motor-pump units preferably being designed identical in structure.

A coolant pump assembly includes an electric coolant pump for a motor vehicle. The electric coolant pump includes a multi-part pump housing and an electric drive unit arranged in the multi-part pump housing. The multi-pat housing includes a coolant inlet, a coolant outlet, and a fastening assembly via which the electric coolant pump is detachably connected in an engine compartment to an engine component and/or to a body part. The fastening assembly includes at least one screw connection and at least one interlocking connection.

The invention relates to structural components of vehicles, and more particularly to the suspension of both conventional and special vehicles, such as ambulances, baby carriages and wheelchairs. The suspension comprises a quadrangular frame with a pair of arms attached thereto, where the ends of said arms are configured to be connected to the hubs of the respective wheels, and the suspension of the present invention comprises two pairs of armsa pair of identical transverse arms and a pair of identical longitudinal arms with the ends of the longitudinal arms configured to be connected to the hubs of the respective wheels, wherein each arm is rotatably attached by its central zone to the central portion of the corresponding side of a quadrangular frame through rubber-metal joint, wherein the arms contact surfaces are cylindrical, they are adapted for mechanical coupling of arms to each other and are oriented as follows: longitudinal left and right arms have their contact surfaces oriented upwards, while transverse front and back arms have their contact surfaces oriented downwards, contact surfaces of each arm are tangent to the plane extending through the axis of rotation of the arm and are located on one side of it, while each side of the quadrangular frame rests upon the hubs of two wheels through the corresponding arm. Each transverse and longitudinal arm is made as a pair of arms spaced apart and connected by at least one connecting rod, and each such spaced arm has the form of a parallelogram. The invention is based on the objective to provide the suspension, which is more reliable due to lower level of mechanical stresses in the suspension mechanisms, which results from creation of the conditions where the function of the mechanism for changing the direction of rotation is performed by a transverse arm having a length equal to the width of the suspension.

Air spring strut for a motor vehicle including an air spring with a shock absorber for spring-cushioning and damping oscillations of a motor vehicle running gear assembly. The air spring includes an air spring cover and an air spring piston. An air spring bellows made of elastomeric material is clamped air-tightly between the air spring cover and the air spring piston partially delimits a working space filled with compressed air and, while forming a rolling fold, rolls on the air spring cover and/or the air spring piston. The air spring cover is embodied in two parts with a first cover part for receiving an absorber bearing and with a second cover part for fastening the air spring bellows. The first cover part is manufactured from metal and the second cover part is manufactured from plastic.

Methods and systems are provided for a fuel tank and suspension system. In one example, a system may include arranged a dampener between the fuel tank and the suspension system. The dampener may be configured to couple to the fuel tank or suspension system such that a threshold distance between a spud of the fuel tank and a stability bar of the suspension system may be maintained.

An aerodynamic cover of a suspension device of a vehicle includes an upper horizontal portion that is located on an upper side of the arm member and extends in a horizontal direction, a lower horizontal portion that is located under the arm member and extends in the horizontal direction, an engaging portion that is provided on one of the upper and lower horizontal portions and engaged with the arm member, and a bolt receiving portion that is provided on the other horizontal portion and bolted to the arm member. The engaging portion includes an arm portion extending in the horizontal direction, and a claw portion provided on a distal side of the arm portion and engaged with the arm member. A rib provided on the arm portion extends in a direction of extension of the arm portion, and protrudes in a vertical direction with respect to the arm portion.

A vehicle comprising: a vehicle body having an underside and defining a wheel arch, the wheel arch forming an opening in the underside of the vehicle body; a wheel assembly having a rotation axis and being positioned in the wheel arch and extending through the opening to the underside of the vehicle; a suspension linkage running within the wheel arch, the suspension linkage coupling the wheel assembly to the vehicle body to permit motion of the rotation axis of the wheel assembly relative to the vehicle body, the suspension linkage comprising a first suspension link coupled between the vehicle body and the wheel assembly; and a cover panel coupled to the first suspension link so that the cover panel moves with the first suspension link, the cover panel extending across part of the opening so that in forward motion the cover panel directs a rearward moving airflow across the opening.

The first cover part is manufactured from metal and the second cover part is manufactured from plastic.

A shock absorber for a vehicle, the shock absorber having an absorber body with an outer surface, and a movable piston having a first end configured to couple with the vehicle, and a second end disposed within the absorber body. There is a magnet assembly disposed around and external of the movable piston at the second end. The absorber has a sensor assembly having a sensor body coupled with the outer surface. An inner sensor body has a sensor disposed therein configured to detect a change in a linear position of the magnet assembly.

A reciprocating compressor includes a cylinder (5) including a cylindrical cylinder portion (6) and a cylinder head portion (7) provided on one side of the cylinder portion, and a piston mechanism (8) reciprocably fittedly inserted on an inner peripheral side of the cylinder portion and including a piston (9) defining an inside of the cylinder portion into a compression chamber (10) and a non-compression chamber (11). A bottomed hole-shaped valve body housing portion (7B) is formed at the cylinder head portion. The valve body housing portion is opened to a piston side facing the piston in an axial direction of the cylinder portion. Further, a discharge valve unit (18) and a valve holding member (21) are provided in the valve body housing portion. The discharge valve unit is inserted in the valve body housing portion. The valve holding member holds the discharge valve unit in the valve body housing portion.
