    摘要: A unitized seal for use in a gas spring seal assembly. The unitized seal includes a rigid thermoplastic insert having an elastomeric sealing layer surrounding the insert and bonded to the insert. The insert provides rigidity to the seal and includes a central, axial opening that receives and guides a rod slidably engaged with the insert. The sealing layer engages the interior surface of the gas spring cylinder to prevent the pressurized gas contained within the gas spring from escaping around the seal. The sealing layer also includes a central, axial opening aligned with the passage in the insert that slidably engages the rod and further prevent gas from escaping the gas spring cylinder. The unitized seal may be formed in a single or two-step process. In the single step process, the insert and sealing layer are formed by injection molding processes in a single mold and are bonded to one another by a subsequent covulcanization process. In the two-step process, the insert is formed in a first injection molding step, and has an adhesion promoter applied to the exterior of the insert. The coated insert is then placed within a second mold that is used to form the sealing layer about the insert in a subsequent injection molding process. The adhesion promoter intimately bonds the sealing layer to the insert forming the unitized seal.

    摘要: A method of forming a stabilizer bar is provided that includes the steps of roll forming sheet metal coil into a continuous tube. Next, a first portion of the continuous tube is flattened. The first portion of the continuous tube is sheared to define a first end. Next, a second portion of the continuous tube is flattened. The continuous tube is sheared at the second portion to define a final unit length with a second end opposite the first end. That is, the length is sheared from the rest of the continuous tube. The final length is the length is needed to form a single stabilizer bar. Finally, the final unit length is deformed into the desired stabilizer bar shape.
