A first working chamber is defined on one side of the piston and a second working chamber is defined on an opposite side of the piston such that a volume of the second working chamber decreases during a compression stroke of the piston and the volume of the second working chamber increases during a rebound stroke of the piston. A bellow accumulator assembly is included and in fluid communication with the second working chamber. The bellow accumulator assembly includes a housing, a bellow accumulator disposed within the housing, a pressurized gas chamber defined between the housing and the bellow accumulator and an accumulator chamber defined between the bellow accumulator and the second working chamber.

The invention relates to a connection system for connecting a damper unit of a vehicle inside a wheel suspension of the vehicle, the connection system having: an upper attachment region for attaching the damping unit, at least part of said region surrounding a receiving area for the damping unit and the receiving area extending around a first axis acting as the damping axis of the damping unit; a lower attachment region for coupling to the wheel-side portion of the wheel suspension, said lower attachment region having, in particular, two mutually spaced lower sections with an attachment area therebetween and an intermediate region which connects the upper attachment region to the lower attachment region. The main extension of the intermediate region corresponds to the direction of the first axis and the intermediate region allows the passage of a drive shaft of the vehicle. The connection system is made of an extruded part, the extrusion direction of which is the direction in which the extruded material extends, said material thus forming the intermediate region of the connection system. The invention also relates to a connection system comprising a clamping mechanism.

Such a motor vehicle control arm (1) is optimized with respect to weight and costs.

A stabilizer is provided with a restriction ring connected to a torsion portion at a connection portion adjacent to a bush. The restriction ring has a body, a female portion, a male portion, and a welded portion. The female portion has gripping portions with a spacing therebetween decreasing in the direction away from a valley bottom portion. The male portion has a neck portion, an expansion portion, and a contraction portion. The welded portion covers at least the range of the contraction portion and the valley bottom portion and melts in the plate thickness direction from the outer peripheral surface.

A method of manufacturing a forged product includes a heating step, a first and a second forging steps, wherein the forging temperature in the heating step is 450° C. or higher and 550° C. or lower, and surface temperatures of the upper molding part of the first upper die in the first forging step and the upper molding part of the second upper die in the second forging step are 150° C. or higher and 190° C. or lower, surface temperatures of the lower molding parts of the first and the second lower dies are 190° C. or higher and 230° C. or lower, and the surface temperatures of the lower molding parts of the first and the second lower dies are higher by 5° C. or more than the surface temperatures of the upper molding parts of the first and the second upper dies.

A three-point suspension link for a chassis of a vehicle comprises two load-introducing elements, a central load-introducing element, two core profiles and a supporting winding. The three-point suspension link has two arms and a central bearing area. Each arm is connected to the central bearing area. Each arm has one of the load-introducing elements which is arranged at an end of the corresponding arm opposite the central bearing area. Each arm has a core profile which is spatially arranged between the load-introducing element and the central load-introducing element. The supporting winding surrounds the core profiles and the central load-introducing element in a subarea and is operatively connected to the core profiles, the load-introducing elements and the central load-introducing element.

A damper assembly includes a damper with a pressure tube and a piston slidably disposed within the pressure tube. A first working chamber is defined on one side of the piston and a second working chamber is defined on an opposite side of the piston such that a volume of the second working chamber decreases during a compression stroke of the piston and the volume of the second working chamber increases during a rebound stroke of the piston. A bellow accumulator assembly is included and in fluid communication with the second working chamber. The bellow accumulator assembly includes a housing, a bellow accumulator disposed within the housing, a pressurized gas chamber defined between the housing and the bellow accumulator and an accumulator chamber defined between the bellow accumulator and the second working chamber.

A composite casting system for manufacturing a heterogeneous material casting product may include a fixed mold; a movable mold for opening or closing one side of the fixed mold; a slide core pin provided inside the fixed mold or the movable mold, and capable of being protruded to a cavity side, which is formed by a combination of the fixed mold and the movable mold, from the inside of the fixed mold or the movable mold; a high-pressure casting device for injecting high-pressure casting molten metal into the cavity; and a gravity casting device for injecting gravity casting molten metal through a gravity casting hole formed on the fixed mold or the movable mold.

An aluminum alloy plastic worked article including a plastic worked portion formed of a thinned portion 22 formed by plastic working and rib portions 21 formed at two ends of this thinned portion 22 having an approximately H-shaped or U-shaped cross-section. The plastic worked portion is a plastic worked portion 2 having strain portions 23 in each of which an equivalent strain of up to 4.0 mm/mm generated by plastic working is present, and the strain portions 23 are each located in the vicinity of the surface of the plastic worked portion 2 at a boundary between the thinned portion 22 and each of the rib portions 21 and are each formed of a non-recrystalline texture N of aluminum which is not recrystallized or formed of the non-recrystalline texture N and a fine crystalline texture M which is recrystallized but has a crystal grain of 500 μm or less.

The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle control arm, like a wishbone, having an integral main body configured in a materially integral manner.
