Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a shaped sheet metal component from a billet by means of U O forming, wherein firstly a preform is created by the U-forming and then a final shaping is performed by the O forming to give a final form.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chassis component having a base face which extends in a base face plane and an aperture for the introduction of a fixing means and two retention elements which are arranged at opposite sides of the aperture for retaining an eccentric element, wherein the retention elements are formed integrally and in a materially engaging manner from the base face of the chassis component, wherein the retention elements are displaced out of the base face by mechanical processing. The chassis component affords a simple ability to be produced and an increased service life during operation.

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: The disclosure relates to a connecting arrangement comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part, which are mechanically connectable to one another, wherein the first connecting part has a first clamping surface, wherein the first clamping surface has a first embossed pattern, the second connecting part has a second clamping surface, wherein the second clamping surface has a second embossed pattern, wherein the second embossed pattern is at least partially a negative pattern of the first embossed pattern, and wherein, when bringing together the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface, the first embossed pattern engages positively into the second embossed pattern.

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: In a transverse leaf spring 2 and an axle assembly 1 for a motor vehicle, transverse leaf spring 2 is curved about the longitudinal direction X of the motor vehicle in the end regions 11 and is curved about the vertical direction Z of the motor vehicle in a central region 10. As a result, optimum potential spring rates and the associated installation space requirement is achieved.

Abstract: A transverse leaf spring assembly for a motor vehicle includes a transverse leaf spring which is arranged transversely to the motor vehicle. A bearing unit connects the transverse leaf spring to a body of the motor vehicle and has a holder and elastic dampers. Accommodated in the holder is an adapter which has an interior space suited to a cross sectional geometry of the transverse leaf spring, with the transverse leaf spring being received in the adapter between the elastic dampers.
