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.

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.
Abstract:
A bush for a stabilizer is configured so that surface pressure at an adhered surface of a hole of the bush is uniform in adhering the bush to a bar of the stabilizer, whereby necessary adhesive strength is obtained. A bush 100 has a body part 110 that includes a rectangular part 101 with a rectangular shape and a curving part 102 having a curved shape at an outer circumferential part thereof. The body part 110 has a side surface part on which a protruding part 103 is formed so as to protrude outwardly. When contained in a U-shaped part 41 of a bracket 40 shown in Fig. 3B , the rectangular part 101 is arranged at a straight line part 41A of the U-shaped part 41, the curving part 102 is arranged at a circular arc part 41B of the U-shaped part 41, and the protruding part 103 is pressed toward the body part 110 by an inner surface of the U-shaped part 41.
Abstract:
A method for producing a stabilizer and a heating device allows the entirety of a hollow member to be uniformly heated to a temperature necessary for heat treatment, even in a case in which a cross section varying hollow member is used as the starting material. In a preliminary heating process, energizing heating is performed between electrodes 211A and 211B, which are arranged at cross section varying parts 114A and 115A at both ends of large cross sectional area part 113A. The large cross sectional area part 113A between the electrodes 211A and 211B can be heated. In an entire heating process, by performing energizing heating between electrodes 212 and 212, which are arranged at both ends of the cross section varying hollow member 100A, the entirety of the cross section varying hollow member 100A between the electrodes 212 and 212 can be heated. In the preliminary heating process, it is desirable to perform energization heating at a part having a cross sectional area ratio of 90 % or more with respect to the part having a large cross sectional area in the cross section varying part.

A stabilizer link and a manufacturing method therefor which can ensure strength required in wing plates and a center supporting plate and in a support bar, and which can ensure strength required in ribs. The support bar has a top wing plate, a bottom wing plate, a center supporting plate, and a plurality of ribs. In the wing plates and the center supporting plate, reinforcing fiber is orientated to a longitudinal direction of the support bar. In the rib, the reinforcing fiber is orientated to a perpendicular direction of the support bar. A longitudinal orientation ratio D1 at a longitudinal center portion of the top wing plate and the bottom wing plate, a perpendicular orientation ratio D2 at a perpendicular center portion of the ribs, and a perpendicular orientation ratio D3 at a perpendicular end portion of the ribs satisfy Equation 1.
