Bushing and vehicle suspension device
The bushing includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and an elastic body therebetween. The outer cylinder has a central recess portion formed in a curved shape. The inner cylinder has a central convex portion being formed in a curved shape. A distance between a vertex of the central recess portion and the vertex of the central convex portion is smaller than a distance between a point other than the vertex of the central recess portion and a point at which a straight line extending from the point other than the vertex of the central recess portion to an intersection point of the perpendicular line and the axis of the inner cylinder intersects the central convex portion.
MOUNTING BUSHING
A mounting bushing for a vehicle satisfies durability requirements as well as performance, such as ride comfort, handling, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction. The mounting bushing includes an inner pipe, an elastic portion surrounding an external side of the inner pipe, an intermediate pipe surrounding an external side of the elastic portion and having a cutout provided in an axial direction, and an outer pipe surrounding an external side of the intermediate pipe. The elastic portion is formed of a material having a dynamic ratio lower than a dynamic ratio of a rubber material.
RUBBER-METAL BUSH BEARING
A rubber-metal bush bearing, in particular a control arm bearing for a motor vehicle wheel suspension, including a metal inner part, an elastomer body arranged radially relative to the inner part and a metal outer bush, wherein the elastomer body is fixed to the inner part and to the outer bush in material-bonded relationship and wherein the outer bush is for fixing in an associated bearing eye of an arm and the inner part has at both sides in terminal relationship a respective flat flange portion for fixing to a component. The inner part is an extruded hollow-chamber profile member which is cut to length and which at both longitudinal ends is transformed in terminal relationship into the respective flat flange portion in such a way that oppositely disposed wall portions of the hollow-chamber profile member are brought into mutual surface contact.
Isolator Assembly with Adjustable Preload for Damping Air Load Forces
An isolator assembly is configured for damping vibrations of a sensor deployed outside of an aircraft. The isolator assembly includes a platform configured for mechanically supporting the sensor, a lift mechanism configured to raise and lower the platform for stowing the sensor inside the aircraft and deploying the sensor outside the aircraft, and a plate secured inside the aircraft beneath the platform. The plate includes a through-hole for the sensor to extend through. A pin extends below the platform and an isolator mount is disposed on a top side of the plate. The isolator mount includes a slot configured to receive the pin upon deploying the sensor outside the aircraft. The platform and the plate are configured to stabilize the sensor and the isolator assembly is configured to damp vibrations imparted on the sensor by the airstream during flight.
BUSHING ASSEMBLY FOR A STABILIZER BAR OF A VEHICLE
A bushing assembly for a stabilizer bar in a vehicle includes a split ring defining a passageway engaging with an outer surface of the stabilizer bar, an outer diameter surface, a first split ring end, a second split ring end, and at least one axial retention flange disposed at either the first split ring end or the second split ring end. The bushing assembly includes an elastomer bushing defining an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first bushing end, a second bushing end, a first axial flange disposed at the first bushing end, and a second axial flange at the second bushing end. At least one of the first axial flange and the second axial flange abut against the at least one axial retention flange of the split ring to create a zero clearance condition. The bushing assembly also includes a strap clamp securing the bushing assembly to the vehicle.
BUSH-TYPE MOUNT FOR VEHICLE
The present disclosure provides a bush-type mount for a vehicle that has a high degree of freedom of setting of the properties thereof along three axes so as to increase the property thereof in the axial direction (the longitudinal direction of the vehicle) to the level of the property thereof in the radial direction (the vertical direction and the lateral direction of the vehicle) or to increase both the property thereof in the axial direction and the property thereof in the radial direction, thereby sufficiently securing the properties of an entire mount system in all directions irrespective of the direction in which the bush-type mount is disposed.
Bearing bush
A bearing bush for supporting a motor vehicle part includes an inner tube made of a metal, a sliding sleeve made of a first plastic material and mounted rotatably on the inner tube, and an elastomer bearing which surrounds the sliding sleeve and has at least a first elastomer body and an outer sleeve. A sliding layer made of a second plastic material is applied to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube, the first plastic material and the second plastic material forming a tribological pairing either of two different polymers from the groups of polyamides, polyoxymethylenes, polyketones, fluoropolymers, polyethylene terephthalates or polybutylene terephthalates, or the tribological pairing being formed from polyketone against polyketone, wherein the polymers of the tribological pairings each are present in a continuous thermoplastic polymer phase.
Bushing assembly for a stabilizer bar of a vehicle
A bushing assembly for a stabilizer bar in a vehicle includes a split ring defining a passageway engaging with an outer surface of the stabilizer bar, an outer diameter surface, a first split ring end, a second split ring end, and at least one axial retention flange disposed at either the first split ring end or the second split ring end. The bushing assembly includes an elastomer bushing defining an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first bushing end, a second bushing end, a first axial flange disposed at the first bushing end, and a second axial flange at the second bushing end. At least one of the first axial flange and the second axial flange abut against the at least one axial retention flange of the split ring to create a zero clearance condition. The bushing assembly also includes a strap clamp securing the bushing assembly to the vehicle.
Composite material bush
A composite material bush may include a center plate; and an outer foam which is arranged outside the center plate to surround the center plate and is made of different kinds of materials.
OPTIMIZED MASS CAST BAR PIN FOR BUSHING ASSEMBLY
The present disclosure provides a bushing assembly. The bushing assembly includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, an elastomer, and a bar pin. The elastomer is disposed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The bar pin includes a first end, a second end, and a central portion between the first end and the second end. The central portion extends along a longitudinal axis. The central portion has a cruciform cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The bar pin further includes a first intermediate portion between the central portion and the first end. The first intermediate portion has an uninterrupted circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The inner sleeve circumscribes the central portion of the bar pin.
