A shock absorber for damping movement of a wheel suspension system of a vehicle can include a damper tube, a piston, a damping adjustment assembly, and a protective cover. The damper tube can contain a fluid. The piston can be located in the damper tube so as to accommodate relative movement between the damper tube and the piston. The damping adjustment assembly can be connected to the damper tube, and can include a reservoir, a solenoid valve, and a wire harness connection. The solenoid valve can be in fluid communication with each of the reservoir and the damper tube and configured to selectively open and close fluid communication between the reservoir and the damper tube. The wire harness connection can be in electrical communication with the solenoid valve. The protective cover can contain the wire harness connection.

A chassis component (1) for a wheel suspension having at least two pivot points (3, 4), at least one connecting structure (7) which interconnects the pivot points (3, 4) with one another, and at least one sensor (9). The at least one sensor (9) is embodied as a piezoresistive thin film (19) arranged on a section of a surface (8) of the connecting structure (7). A thin film interconnects contact points (15, 16), of at least two conductive sections (13, 14) which are integrated in the connecting structure (7), to one another.

A string-shaped-object binder that binds together a plurality of string-shaped objects, each routed in a slackened state between two vehicle components that move relative to each other, at a predetermined position between the two vehicle components. The string-shaped-object binder includes a fixing retainer that fixedly retains one of the string-shaped objects, and a movement-allowing retainer that retains another one of the string-shaped objects so as to allow the string-shaped object to move in a direction in which an axis of the string-shaped object extends and in directions orthogonal to the axis.

In an embodiment, the present invention provides a stop device for limiting a vertical spring deflection of a motor vehicle leaf spring that is mounted on an axle member, the stop device including: a stop which limits a vertical movement of the leaf spring; a support structure for supporting and mounting the stop on a vehicle support; and a guiding device for receiving and guiding at least one of a cable, a line, and/or a holder. The guiding device is fastened to the support structure.

An electromechanical actuating drive (1) having a servomotor (2) arranged so that the servomotor (2) can rotate about its longitudinal axis in a vehicle, and a cable harness (3) having first and second ends. A first end of the harness (3) is connected to the servomotor (2) and the harness (3) extends, in an elastically deformable arc, from the first end to the second end. The second end of the harness (3) is positionally fixed in the vehicle. The second end of the cable harness (3) is clamped in a securing and deflecting device at a transfer point (5).

An active roll stabilizer of a motor vehicle including an actuator (8) in the form of a swivel motor arranged so as to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The swivel motor has an essentially cylindrical housing (12) with a cover, first and second stabilizer halves (18, 19) are connected to respective ends of the actuator for the transmission of torque, and a wiring harness (1) has a first end and a second end. The harness includes cables (3, 4, 5) for the transmission of electric power and signals. The first end is connected to the actuator, by way of a plug (2), and the second end is arranged positionally fixed in the vehicle at a cable transfer point (20). The cover forms a dry space and has a plug receiving opening, in its periphery, into which the plug can be inserted, in the radial direction, and secured.

A double wishbone suspension system for an in-wheel electric motor comprises an upper arm having a first end pivotally coupled to an upper portion of a motor mounting plate and two spaced apart second ends, the upper arm second ends are respectively coupled to first and second suspension mounting points; a lower arm having a first end pivotally coupled to a lower portion of the mounting plate and two spaced apart second ends, the lower arm second ends are respectively coupled to third and fourth suspension mounting points; a first coupling member having a first end pivotally coupled between the lower arm first second ends and a first coupling member second end is pivotally coupled to a second coupling element first end, wherein a second coupling member second end is pivotally coupled to the mounting plate between the first ends of the upper and lower arms.

A damping system of an active chassis for a vehicle wheel. The damping system includes a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and a damper having a piston, which damper is couplable to a wheel suspension system for the wheel. A hydraulic pump has a hydraulic reservoir and a hydraulic unit including valves. The hydraulic pump and the hydraulic unit cooperate with hydraulic chambers of the hydraulic cylinder such that, depending on the direction of conveyance of the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic unit, a movement of the piston in a first direction of actuation or in a second direction of actuation can be provided. The hydraulic pump and the damper are connected via the hydraulic unit and a tube-hose system including tubes and hoses. The hydraulic cylinder of the damper and the tube-hose system of the damping system feature a combined hydraulic capacity of between 9 mL/100 bar and 14 mL/100 bar.
