Abstract:
The invention is directed to a spring strut support mount, including a damper element and a mount housing having a first and a second housing member, wherein the housing members can be threadably engaged by a thread so as to encompass the damping element. The housing members have a detent arrangement which permits a screwing action but prevents a loosening of the thread connection. The invention provides for improving a spring strut support mount such that the housing members cannot loosen from one another during operation. The housing members have a detent arrangement which permits a screwing action but prevents a loosening of the thread connection.
Abstract:
A spring rubber seat provided between a spring formed by winding a wire rod to elastically support a chassis and a spring seat where the spring is placed. The spring rubber seat includes an arc seat portion having a seat surface where the spring is seated; and a link portion that links one circumferential end with the other circumferential end of the seat portion to make the spring rubber seat in an annular shape.
Abstract:
A vehicle wheel suspension system that achieves increased width in the passenger and/or luggage compartment is provided. The suspension system utilizes a (i) a wheel support member that is positioned between the inner and outer tire planes; (ii) a plurality of linkage arms rotatably coupled to the wheel support member; (iii) a nonlinearly-shaped damper-spring support member that is attached to either an upper or lower linkage arm, where the support member includes a damper-spring mounting platform that is positioned above, and at least partially overlaps, the tire; and (iv) a damper-spring assembly mounted to the damper-spring mounting platform and coupled to a vehicle body structure.
Abstract:
The axial thrust bearing device, in particular for the suspension strut of a motor vehicle, comprises a bottom support cover, a top bearing cover, a rolling bearing axially disposed between said covers, and at least a sealing ring axially bearing against the bottom support cover and adapted to reduce any ingress of foreign matter between said covers.The sealing ring comprises at least one friction lip in contact with the top bearing cover and tending to keep said sealing ring in axial contact with the bottom support cover.
Abstract:
With a motor vehicle having a front axle and rear axle, underbody and shock absorbers, each of which extend between an upper point of action on the underbody and a control arm on the rear axle extending adjacent to a rear wheel, and at least one back seat the upper point of action of one of the shock absorbers is located vertically below the back seat.
Abstract:
A reinforcement is installed in a mounting portion of a shock absorber of a vehicle to improve strength of a vehicle body. The reinforcement realizes a new type of a reinforcement which covers a mounting portion affected most by an excitation force from a shock absorber and is simultaneously coupled to a mounting cover, which is a peripheral member, and a front side upper member, such that road noise can be improved by improvement of Z-direction input point strength. (vehicle body strength) of a shock absorber housing portion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a suspension bearing device, comprising at least one rolling bearing, a bottom cup and a top cup made of plastic, each in contact with the rolling bearing, and at least one seal suitable for protecting the rolling bearing from ingress of water or of polluting particles. The method is characterized in that it comprises at least one step of positioning a seal made of thermosetting elastomer on a supporting element made of plastic between the bottom cup and the top cup and, for the or each seal made of thermosetting elastomer, a step of curing this seal on its supporting element. The invention also relates to a suspension bearing device and a strut of a motor vehicle.
Abstract:
A suspension system may be provided. The suspension system may comprise a wheel support idler and a strut. A top end of the strut may be attached to a bottom of the wheel support idler. The suspension system may further comprise a spring configured to absorb shock from the strut. A bottom of the spring may be attached to a top of the wheel support idler. The suspension system may further comprise a first tower and a second tower. The wheel support idler may be configured to slide up and down on the second tower and the wheel support idler may not contact the first tower.
Abstract:
A damper mass damper assembly includes a rod, and a casing disposed annularly about the rod and defining a primary fluid chamber therebetween. The rod includes an annular wall that defines a first and a second expansion chamber disposed at a first and a second end of the rod respectively. The rod further defines a first and a second expansion port connecting the first and the second expansion chambers respectively with the primary fluid chamber in fluid communication. As fluid within the primary fluid chamber expands from heating, the fluid may weep into the first and/or second expansion chambers through the first and/or second expansion ports respectively to maintain the integrity of a first and second cap bearing seal, which seal the fluid within the primary fluid chamber.
Abstract:
A bump stopper for a suspension system that has at least a parting line along a longitudinal direction of the bumper stopper, may include at least two convex portions coaxially connected each other in the longitudinal direction of the bump stopper and contacting each other in a compressed state, a first array including first reinforcing blocks integrally formed on the respective convex portions along the parting line, each abutting first reinforcing block having a first contact angle therebetween in the longitudinal direction of the bumper stopper, and a second array including second reinforcing blocks integrally formed on the respective convex portions, each abutting second reinforcing block having a second contact angle therebetween in the longitudinal direction of the bumper stopper, wherein the first array is disposed with a predetermined angle from the first array along a circumferential direction of the bumper stopper.
