Abstract: The present invention relates to an axle carrier 1 and to a method for the production of the axle carrier 1. The axle carrier 1 has an upper shell 2 from an aluminum die-casting and a lower shell 3 from a fiber composite material. On a ribbed structure of the lower shell 3, an upper end 14 of the reinforcing ribs 9 is preferably configured so as to be widened such that the bearing face between the reinforcing rib 9 and the upper shell 2 is enlarged and, on account thereof, the strength of the axle carrier 1 produced is increased.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a downholding press for producing a semi-finished product from sheet-metal material having thickness-reduced regions, wherein the semi-finished product after forming has regions with mutually dissimilar wall thicknesses and the downholding press has an upper tool and a lower tool as well as a downholding element, and a convexity on the sheet-metal material is generated between the upper tool and the lower tool such that the sheet-metal material is reduced in thickness in regions by elongation, wherein a blocking cam is configured on the downholding element in such a manner that a follow-on of the sheet-metal material is impeded.

Abstract: A method for producing a shaped sheet metal component having wall thicknesses differing from each other is disclosed including providing a sheet metal material having a constant wall thickness, pre-shaping the sheet metal material into a preform by means of a hold-down press, producing at least one bulge in an inner region such that the material is stretched and has a reduced wall thickness, flattening and/or extending the produced preform, cutting the sheet metal material in order to form a blank before, during, or after the pre-shaping, and shaping the blank into the shaped sheet metal component.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing a shaped sheet metal part from a billet by UO forming. First, a preform is created by the U-forming. Then, final forming to give a final form is carried out by the O-forming. The preform has in cross section a maximum width that is smaller than the maximum width of the final form produced after the O-forming.

Abstract: An axle or chassis component for an axle of a motor vehicle is disclosed. At least a part of the axle or chassis component is provided by a one-piece and single-material formed component. The formed component has at least three regions, wherein one region has a smaller wall thickness in relation to the other two regions, and the region with a smaller wall thickness is arranged between the two regions with a greater wall thickness.

Abstract: A body connection and a method of manufacturing the body connection is disclosed. A body connecting sleeve is formed in two parts from a spacer sleeve arranged in an axle auxiliary frame and from a body connecting sleeve which is coupled only to the upper shell of the axle auxiliary frame and substantially corresponds to the length of the centering extension. The body connecting sleeve is coupled exclusively in a form-fitting manner to the upper shell.
