Abstract:
A stabilizer link in which weight reduction can be achieved and the circumferential position and the distance between both housings can be adjusted, and a method for manufacturing same, are provided. A solid bar made of a light weight metal or a fiber reinforced plastic is used for a support bar 60. An end portion 61 of the support bar is inserted into a mold as a core, and a housing 50 is formed at the end portion 61 of the support bar 60 by injection molding. In this case, the resin is mold-shrunk, whereby a boss portion 52 of the housing 50 covers and adheres to the whole circumference of the end portion 61 of the support bar 60 thereof. Therefore, the boss portion 52 is rigidly fixed to the end portion 61.
Abstract:
A stabilizer link and a production method therefor, which can obtain desired pull-out strength even when a reinforced resin is used for a fixing portion of a ball seat, are provided. In the formation of the subassembly 100A, the space S is formed between the bottom portion side of the side surface portion of the main body portion 201 of the ball seat 200 and the bottom portion side of the inner surface of the housing 300. The die 600 is provided to the outer surface of the bottom portion side of the housing 300 in the subassembly 100A, and the cavity C is thereby formed. Injection molding is performed such that the reinforced resin R is injected into the cavity C and the space S. The fixing portion 202 shown in Fig. 3 is formed at the bottom portion side of the side surface portion of the main body portion 201 by the injection molding. In this case, the fixing protrusion stripe portion 231, which is fitted to the fixing groove portion 221 of the main body portion201, is formed at the fixing portion 202. The projection portion 232 projecting from the hole portion 320 of the housing to an external portion is formed at the bottom portion of the fixing portion 202, and the projection portion 232 is formed to have the shape engaging with the outer surface of the bottom portion of the housing 300.
Abstract:
A ball joint includes a housing (11) with an opening (20), a ball stud (12) with a shaft portion (30) and a ball portion (31), a ball seat (13) accommodated in the housing (11) and including a recessed spherical surface (50) into which the ball portion (31) is inserted, a projecting portion (51) having an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the ball portion (31) so as to inhibit the ball portion (31) from being dislodged from the recessed spherical surface (50), and a slope portion (52) formed at a hole portion (21) through which the shaft portion (30) is inserted, the slope portion (52) being shaped to have an inner diameter increasing from the projecting portion (51) toward the opening (20), and a caulking portion (80) including a projecting edge (25) formed at an end wall of the opening (20) in the housing (11) and folded toward an end surface of the ball seat (13), the projecting edge being arranged so as to overlap the end surface of the ball seat (13) and extending toward the projecting portion (51) and opposite the slope portion (52). The ball joint reliably prevents the ball seat (13) from being dislodged from the housing (11) and reliably positions the ball seat (13) vertically and radially with respect to the housing (11).
Abstract:
A ball joint (J1) according to the present invention includes: a ball stud (10) including a stud portion (10s) having one end portion connected to a structural member and another end portion, to which a ball portion (10b) is integrally joined; a housing (11) made of metal and configured to support the ball portion (10b) of the ball stud (10) to allow swinging and rotating movement of the ball portion (10b), the housing (11) having a space that opens to one side thereof; and a ball seat (12A) made of plastic and interposed between the housing (11) and the ball portion (10b). The ball seat (12A) includes a plurality of protrusions (12e) jutting out from the ball seat (12A) and inserted into a plurality of through holes (11b) formed in a bottom portion of the housing (11). The protrusions (12e) having pierced through the through holes (11b) are staked at their distal portions (e2). The protrusion (12e) of the ball seat (12A) has a large diameter portion (e1), whose diameter is larger than an inner diameter of the through hole (11b) of the housing (11), at its proximal portion proximal from the distal portion (e2) thereof.

Abstract:
A stabilizer bar with rubber bush includes a stabilizer bar (2), and at least one rubber bush (6) adhesively fixed to at least a portion of the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar (2) and the rubber bush (6) are adhesively fixed to each other with an adhesive agent layer (3). The adhesive agent layer (3) includes a primer agent layer (4) formed on a surface of the stabilizer bar (2) and having a dry film thickness of 5 µm or more and 10 µm or less; and a first top coat agent layer (5) formed on the primer agent layer (4) and having a dry film thickness of 5 µm or more and less than 13 µm.
