CHASSIS SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A chassis arrangement (10), in particular for utility vehicles (1), with at least one axle (3) that extends transverse to the travel direction and carries wheels (4). Movement of the axle (3) is damped by vibration dampers (11) provided with end sections (15), and with at least one stabilizer assembly (12) that has two longitudinally extending sections (13) and a transverse section (14) that connects the longitudinally extending sections. An end section (15) of the vibration damper (11) is held directly on and is connected to the stabilizer assembly (12) on an extension (16, 17) of the transversely orientated section (14) beyond the longitudinal section (13).
Subframe for a motor vehicle
The invention relates to a subframe for a motor vehicle, comprising two front node elements (1) for connecting to a vehicle body, which node elements are spaced from each other in a vehicle transverse direction (y) and are connected to each other by means of a front subframe cross member (3), and comprising at least one functional part (28), in particular a rotary actuator, which extends adjacently to the subframe cross member (3) in a vehicle transverse direction (y), by means of which functional part a torsion can be applied to torsion springs that act on the vehicle wheel suspension. According to the invention, the subframe cross member (3) has an opening, which provides an additional installation space, in which the functional part (28) at least partially protrudes.
STABILIZER BUSHING
A stabilizer bushing including a bushing body formed of a tubular rubber elastic body and including a sliding liner disposed on an inner surface of its inner hole. A stabilizer bar is inserted through the inner hole without being bonded thereto and a bracket is mounted onto an outer surface of the bushing body to attach the bushing body to a vehicle body via the bracket. Two rigid intermediate members are fastened to the bushing body on opposite sides of the inner hole to face each other, and include respective first and second facing plate parts protruding radially outward from opposite ends. A slit circumferentially dividing the bushing body is formed between the first facing plate parts. A cut extending radially outward from the inner hole to a radially middle part of the bushing body is formed between the second facing plate parts.
Motor vehicle series and motor pump unit assembly
A motor vehicle series includes two different motor vehicle variants. The two motor vehicle variants include an identically designed chassis component fastening device, to which a stabilizer is fastened in the first motor vehicle variant and a motor-pump unit assembly with a motor-pump unit of a hydraulic damping system is fastened in the second motor vehicle variant. The motor-pump unit assembly includes a motor-pump unit for a hydraulic damping system. A holding tube is fastened to the motor-pump unit. A holding element, which is configured to be mounted on a chassis component fastening device of a motor vehicle, is fastened to the end of the holding tube facing away from the motor-pump unit.
A SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A suspension system for a pair of wheels of a vehicle is disclosed. The suspension system comprises an inner member and a sleeve member that are coaxially arranged and rotatable relative to each other about the axis and a resilient element that rotatably biases the inner member relative to the sleeve member. The suspension system further comprises first and second arms that are secured to one or other of the inner member and the sleeve member and are configured to be rotatably coupled to respective wheels of the pair of wheels. In use, displacing at least one of the wheels relative to a chassis of the vehicle transfers a force to a respective arm and applies a torque to one of the members relative to the other member resulting in a biasing force which resists the torque and acts to return the displaced wheel back to the ground surface.
