20080265540 | Guiding Element for a Track Element in a Wheel Suspension of a Vehicle - A guide element for a guideway element in a wheel suspension of a vehicle has one of the elements arranged such that it is connected essentially rigidly to the body and the other element arranged such that it is connected essentially rigidly to the wheel and a plain bearing, which makes possible a displacing motion of the guide element on the guideway element, is formed between these elements. The guide element is guided in a rotatingly movable and/or pivotingly movable manner on the guideway element via a joint arrangement, within which the plain bearing ring is arranged, which is guided with its circular passage opening, adapted to the cross section of the guideway element, on the guideway element. This joint arrangement may be designed as a rubber bushing or as a ball and socket joint. A plurality of sliding rings may be arranged in a so-called ball layer hollow body one on top of another and at least with a section facing the guideway element essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the guideway element in a slightly displaceable manner. A guideway extending in a curved shape can thus be embodied. The sliding ring may have an elastomer ring, to which a metal bushing is vulcanized on the outside and to which a plastic sliding ring, which is in contact by its inside with the guideway element, is vulcanized on the inside. | 10-30-2008 |
20090026725 | Wheel Suspension for a Motor Vehicle - A wheel suspension is provided for a motor vehicle with a vehicle wheel ( | 01-29-2009 |
20090058020 | Switchable stabilizer device - The invention relates to a switchable stabilizer device for the axle of a motor vehicle. Herein, the actuating device comprises a roll stabilizer and an actuatorically switchable coupling device ( | 03-05-2009 |
20090136288 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT WITH SENSOR DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR WEAR MEASUREMENT - A ball and socket joint is provided for a motor vehicle that has a joint housing ( | 05-28-2009 |
20090232590 | JOINT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A joint for a motor vehicle is provided with a housing ( | 09-17-2009 |
20100084834 | CONNECTOR PIECE FOR THE ARTICULATED CONNECTION OF COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE SUSPENSION OF A VEHICLE - A connecting piece for the articulated connection of components disposed in the chassis of a vehicle. The connecting piece comprises a base body ( | 04-08-2010 |
20110004374 | WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR A VEHICLE - Wheel suspension for vehicle, with support, steering knuckle connected in articulated manner with the support via interconnected joints, a vehicle wheel rotatably supported on the steering knuckle, a connecting element extending between a first joint and a second joint which is connected in an articulated manner via the first joint to the steering knuckle and via the second joint to the support, an angle detection device, for measuring the rotation angle of one of the joints and for generating an angle signal characterizing the rotation angle, an evaluation device, for evaluating the angle signal, and which is coupled with the angle detection device. The connecting element is a chassis actuator with an adjusting means, with which the length of the chassis actuator and thereby the position of the vehicle wheel is varied. The length of the chassis actuator is determined with the evaluation device by evaluating the at least one angle signal. | 01-06-2011 |
20110081194 | BALL JOINT - A ball joint comprising a housing ( | 04-07-2011 |
20110248555 | WHEEL CARRIER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A wheel carrier for a motor vehicle in which the wheel carrier is typically manufactured from aluminum. The wheel carrier comprises a recess ( | 10-13-2011 |
20120282014 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT FOR A VEHICLE - A ball and socket joint which comprises a joint ball which is enclosed and rotationally supported by a ball socket. The ball socket has two socket parts that move axially relative to one another, and the socket parts act on opposite sides of the joint ball in the axial direction. An adjusting device has a transmission and drive by which the socket parts can be moved toward one another in the axial direction and exert pressure on the joint ball. The transmission comprises a first part which has tracks that rise in the axial direction and curve around a rotational axis oriented in the axial direction and in which a ball is guided. A second part, which contacts the balls, is disposed between the transmission parts in the axial direction. The balls and the first part can be rotated relative to one another about the rotational axis by the drive. | 11-08-2012 |
20120282015 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT FOR A VEHICLE - A ball and socket joint comprises a joint ball which is enclosed and rotationally supported by a ball socket. The ball socket has two ball socket parts that move relative to one another in an axial direction. The ball socket parts acts on different sides of the joint ball that are opposite one another in the axial direction. A controllable adjusting device bias the two ball socket parts, relative to one another in the axial direction, so that pressure exerted on the joint ball by the twp ball socket parts can be varied. At least a first of the ball socket parts comprises a main body and at least one bearing section, which is elastically connected to the main body and by which the first ball socket part rests against the joint ball. | 11-08-2012 |
20140199113 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A BALL AND SOCKET JOINT AND BALL AND SOCKET JOINT MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO THE PROCESS - A process for manufacturing a ball and socket joint and a joint manufactured according to that process are provided for a simple manufacture of a completely assembled ball and socket joint with a low torque and overturning moment. The joint housing is manufactured in an injection or casting process, in which the joint ball with the bearing shell placed on it is surrounded by a metallic material or a plastic. The joint shell is provided with a bulge, which behaves elastically with respect to the pressure acting during the injection or casting process and arches slightly outwardly after the conclusion of the injection or casting process. It is achieved as a result that the joint shell does not lie over its entire area on the joint ball after the injection or casting process. | 07-17-2014 |
