    摘要: A spring seat body for connection to a rigid axle of a motor vehicle, including an upper spring seat surface, a lower seat surface, lateral edge surfaces which lie between the spring seat surface and the lower seat surface, and holding means for holding tensioning means for fastening at least one spring to the spring seat body. The lateral edge surfaces include a first edge surface and a second edge surface which face away from one another and, in the mounted state of the spring seat body on the rigid axle, run transversely with respect to the rigid axle, the first edge surface, in the mounted state of the spring seat body on the rigid axle, lying closer to an end of the rigid axle which bears a vehicle wheel than the second edge surface, and the first edge surface having an edge course which, in the mounted state of the spring seat body on the rigid axle, lies in overlap with the rigid axle. In order for the spring seat body to offer improved robustness, in particular increased fatigue strength in its connection to a generic rigid axle and thereby enable a reduction in the overall weight of the rigid axle, the invention provides that said edge course, viewed from above, is at least partially formed as an outwardly projecting, preferably convex edge course, the apex or vertex lies in a region of the first edge surface which runs along a central length range of the upper spring seat surface running transversely to the rigid axle, said central length range being less than one third, preferably less than one quarter, particularly preferably less than one fifth of the length of the upper spring seat surface. In particular, the invention relates to a rigid axle for a motor vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, with such a spring seat body.

    摘要: A suspension for a two-wheeled vehicle includes first and second fork legs. Each fork leg includes a dropout. Each dropout has an opening therethrough. At least a portion of one of the openings is threaded. Each of the dropouts includes a split-damp pinch bearing defining the opening and operable between an open position and a locked position, and a hand operable actuator pivoted to the bearing for operation thereof. The suspension further includes a one-piece axle. The axle is disposed through the openings. The axle has a threaded first end engaged with the threaded portion. The axle has an ergonomic grip formed at a second end. The bearing tightly engages an outer surface of the axle in the locked position, thereby rotationally coupling the axle to the dropout.

    摘要: Bearing for at least one supporting roller of a carriage, which supporting roller is supported on at least one bearing surface, comprising at least one axle device which can be rotated about at least one rotational axis, at least one rocker which is connected to the axle device such that it is reliably driven, wherein, at an end which lies opposite the axle device, the rocker has at least one first connecting device for connecting the rocker to the supporting roller, at least one spring device which is arranged mechanically between the axle device and/or the rocker on one side and at least one holding device on the other side, wherein a force which forces the supporting roller onto the bearing surface can be built up on the axle device and the rocker by means of the spring device, and at least one damping device, by means of which a rotational movement of the axle device about the rotational axis can be damped, characterized in that the spring device and the damping device are configured in one piece at least in regions by way of at least one torsion spring element which is of rubber-elastic configuration at least in regions.

    摘要: An axle alignment system for a multi-axle trailer includes a mounting bracket, a mounting pin, at least one original equipment spacer, and at least one adjustable spacer. When the mounting bracket is utilized with the mounting pin and the original equipment spacer, the axle alignment system will only exclusively assume a nonadjustable, standard configuration. In contrast, when the mounting bracket is utilized with the mounting pin and the adjustable spacer, the axle alignment system will be activated and assume one of multiple possible adjusted configurations allowing one to align an axle of a multi-axle trailer.

    摘要: A drive axle for industrial trucks is, by fastening mechanisms, on the one hand able to be connected to the vehicle frame and, on the other hand, connected to the axle housing. Flexible elements that take effect in the main directions of force in such a manner that they are mainly subject to pressure are arranged between the fastening mechanisms and the axle housing.

    摘要: A torsion beam which is used in a suspension system of an automobile which is provided with a pair of arm members which extend in a front-rear direction of the automobile and are designed to be connected to a chassis of the automobile so as to be able to swing and to have wheels attached rotably to them is disclosed. The torsion beam is formed with a recess which extends in the longitudinal direction whereby that torsion beam has first and second leg parts in a plane vertical to the longitudinal direction and exhibits a substantially V-shaped or substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The torsion beam is provided with connection parts which are provided at the two ends of that torsion beam and are connected to the arm members, a fixed shape part which is provided at a center part in the longitudinal direction of that torsion beam, and asymmetric shape parts which are provided between that fixed shape part and the connection parts. At the asymmetric shape parts, the depth of the recess becomes gradually deeper from the connection parts toward the fixed shape part and the first leg part has a larger width dimension than the width dimension of the second leg part.
