Abstract:
A stabilizer arrangement in a wheel suspension for a motor vehicle includes a rotatably supported center part oriented in the vehicle transverse direction, and at least one leg projecting from the center part in the vehicle longitudinal direction and articulated via a substantially vertically extending rod with a control arm of the wheel suspension. A joint connection is arranged between the rod and the control arm outside a vehicle longitudinal member by a transverse clearance in the vehicle transverse direction, when the vehicle is in the compressed state. The rod is articulated to the control arm such that its force vector extending through the joint connections of the rod extends through the center axis defined by the control arm bearings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wheel suspension for a motor vehicle, said wheel suspension having a multi-link assembly (21) of links that are hinged to the vehicle body, in particular to a subframe (1) of the vehicle body, and to a hub carrier (23), and having a rotary actuator (27) for active chassis control, said rotary actuator having a motor-gear unit (29) with which torques can be transmitted, via at least one torsion bar (31), as adjusting forces to said multi-link assembly (21). According to the invention, at least one of the links (14, 16) of the multi-link assembly (21) limits, in the longitudinal direction (x) of the vehicle towards the front or towards the back, a free space (39) in which said motor-gear unit (29) of the rotary actuator (27) is at least partially arranged.
Abstract:
A wheel suspension for a rear wheel of a two-track motor vehicle, includes a five-link assembly which has five individual links which are coupled to the vehicle body via body-side bearings and to the wheel carrier of the rear wheel via wheel-carrier-side bearings, which five-link assembly, as viewed in the direction of travel, has a front pair of links and a rear pair of links, wherein the front pair of links has a lower, front link, with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel, and an upper, front link, and the rear pair of links has a lower, rear link, in particular track rod, and an upper, rear link. A lower spring link, on which a spring arrangement having a vibration damper and a supporting spring is supported, is arranged in the direction of travel between the front and rear pairs of links. The front pair of links with respect to the spring link is of softer design in the transverse direction of the vehicle than the rear pair of links. As a result, a change in the toe-in at the rear wheel takes place under exertion of a lateral force or a longitudinal force.
Abstract:
A wheel suspension for a vehicle axle, in particular a front axle, of a two-track vehicle includes a wheel carrier configured to support a vehicle wheel, and a link assembly configured to articulate the wheel carrier to a vehicle body. The link assembly includes at least one two-point link articulated on a side of the wheel carrier to the wheel carrier at a first mounting point and on a side of the vehicle body to the vehicle body at a second mounting point. The two-point link executes a pivotal movement in the event of a head-on collision to enable a collision-proximal vehicle wheel to move backwards. The two-point link includes a stop member to limit the pivotal movement in the event of the head-on collision, by impacting a body-side counterpiece, thereby forming a body-side third mounting point to block and counteract the pivotal movement of the two-point link.
Abstract:
A wheel suspension for a vehicle axle includes a wheel carrier carrying a wheel which is displaceable rearward in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle in case of a frontal collision; a steering link, articulately connecting the wheel carrier to a vehicle superstructure, the steering link including at least two control arms articulately connected to the wheel carrier via respective support sites on the wheel carrier and to the vehicle superstructure via respective support sites on the vehicle superstructure; and an actuating element coupled with a first one of the two control arms and impinging the first control arm with a torsional force in response to a collision force resulting from the rearward displacement of the wheel caused by the frontal collision so as to cause detachment of the first control arm from the support site on the superstructure and/or on the wheel carrier.
Abstract:
A torsion spring system for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle includes an actuator that is provided on the vehicle body and variably maintains the torsion spring system under tension, and which acts, via a torsion bar and an output lever, with a biasing force on a wheel suspension element of the wheel suspension. The torsion bar is configured in two parts between the actuator and the output lever and has a first bar part and a second bar part coupled thereto with a spring element connected in between the first and second bar parts.
Abstract:
A torsion bar spring arrangement for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle includes an actuator arranged on a vehicle body or on a subframe and constructed to variably pre-tension the torsion bar spring arrangement, a coaxial first torsion bar spring having an output side that is connected by way of an output lever to a wheel suspension element of the wheel suspension, and a housing of the actuator supported on the vehicle body in at least one bearing location for movement in a circumferential direction and resiliently yieldingly supported on the vehicle body in the direction of torsional moments acting on the torsion bar spring by way of at least one spring element.
