A trailer towing device for a tractor vehicle (1) which comprises a coupling ball (11), having a hollow space (21) for coupling a trailer vehicle (2), and a ball support (17) which engages with an end area in the hollow space (21) through an opening (22) provided in the coupling ball (11) and supports the coupling ball (11), such that the end area of the ball support (17) comprises a joint ball (15) on which the coupling ball (11) is fitted and can rotate so that, together with the coupling ball (11), the joint ball forms a ball joint (28).
摘要:
A twist beam axle for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle. The twist beam axle has two trailing arms and a torsional profile having prismatic-shaped end sections with a noncircular cross-section. One trailing arm is connected to one torsional profile end section in each case. The trailing arms have a receiving recess having a shape corresponding to that of the outer surface of the torsional profile end section. An inwardly pressed plug is disposed in the interior of each torsional profile end section. The twist beam axle ensures permanent transfers high bending moments and torques between the trailing arms and the torsional profile without a welded joint. Different classes of materials can be used for the torsional profile and trailing arms, or can be connected to one another. The twist beam axle generally makes it possible to use large-volume, thin-walled and, therefore, weight-saving torsional profiles.

A connecting assembly for a vehicle, with a structural component (11) having a connection area (14), a joint (7) having a bearing element (4) and an inner joint component (3) fitted and able to move in the latter and which extends outward the assembly, in an axial direction (5). The bearing element (4) together with the connection area (14) form an insert, and a cast element (9) is produced by casting around and enclosing the insert. The structural component (11) and the inner joint component (3) extend out of the cast element (9). The insert has a closing component (12) that engages with a mutual interlock with the structural component (11) to form, together with the structural component (11), a joint holder (8) that secures the bearing element (4) with an interlock, in the axial direction (5).

A ball and socket joint has a sealing bellows (4) that is in contact with the surface (17) of the ball pivot (3) by means of a circumferential closing collar (11) in the shaft area (7) of the ball pivot (3). The ball and socket joint has an element (14), which is elastic in the axial direction of the pivot and may be designed as a compression spring element, arranged in the neck area (8) of the ball pivot (3). The compression spring element is supported with one end in the area of the transition between the neck area (8) and the ball (9) of the ball pivot (3) and with the other end indirectly or directly at the pivot-side closing collar (11) of the sealing bellows (4). The sealing bellows is permanently and reliably prevented from slipping off from the neck of the ball pivot even under extreme climatic conditions or in case of extraordinary mechanical stresses, for example, in case of exposure to the water jet of a high-pressure cleaner. In addition, the pivot-side seal of the sealing bellows as well as the control of the seal in terms of design and the dimensionability of the seal are improved.

摘要:
A ball and socket joint, for example, for an axle system of a motor vehicle, as well as to a process for manufacturing a joint housing for a ball and socket joint. The ball and socket joint has an essentially annular joint housing (3), in the cylindrical interior space of which a ball shell (1) can be arranged. The ball (2) of a ball pivot can be accommodated in the ball shell (1) in a slidingly movable manner, and the joint housing (3) has elevations (10) and/or depressions (15) arranged in the area of its inner jacket surface (13, 14) for engagement with the surface of the ball shell (1).The ball and socket joint is characterized according to the present invention in that the inner jacket surface (13, 14) of the joint housing (3) is split into at least two separate functional sections (13, 14) in the axial direction of the joint housing, the inner jacket surface of the joint housing being of a smooth cylindrical design in the area of a housing cover-side functional section (14), while the elevations (10) and/or depressions (15) are arranged in the area of a ball pivot-side functional section (13) of the inner jacket surface of the joint housing.The ball and socket joint according to the present invention offers firm anchoring of the plastic ball shell in the joint housing while the tightness of the gap between the joint housing and the ball shell is improved at the same time. Furthermore, the prestress of the joint and the moments of friction between the joint ball and the ball shell are better reproducible.

A vehicle component with at least two connection points, a structural component that extends between the connection points and rigidly connects them with one another. The structural component comprises at least one insert made of a ductile material and at least two connection zones that support or form the two connection points, at least one of the zones comprises plastic. The structural component comprises at least one intermediate section that connects the two connection zones rigidly to one another and comprises the insert or is formed by the insert, this section is more ductile than at least one of the two connection zones and, in relation to a mechanical overload of the structural component, forms a locally delimited weak-point or region.
摘要:
A ball joint with a ball pin and a steel ball pin with a joint ball. The ball joint and ball pin are suitable for use when, for example, solid-on-solid friction predominates under high static pre-loading or high operational loads and with small joint movements. A portion of the surface of the ball pin has surface layer hardening in order to increase a fatigue strength of the ball pin. The ball pin and the ball joint, on portion of the ball pin without the any surface layer hardened, includes a nitrided layer as wear protection. The ball pin and the ball joint provide an advantageous combination of high fatigue strength, good corrosion protection and high wear-resistance. The nitrided layer of ball joints, previously only regarded as improving corrosion protection, also functions as a wear protection. Thus, these ball pins overcome the mutual exclusion between surface layer hardening and nitriding.
