Patent number: 9050874Abstract: A spring damper unit configured for arrangement between a first vehicle part and a second vehicle part of a motor vehicle. The spring damper unit includes a first fastening device for fastening the spring damper unit to the first vehicle part and a second fastening device for fastening the spring damper unit to the second vehicle part. In addition, the spring damper unit includes an elastic element and a vibration damper having two damper parts that move relatively with respect to each other and are arranged between the fastening devices in order to damp relative movements between the vehicle parts and to control a spaced disposition between the vehicle parts. The pre-stressing of the elastic elements are variably adjusted via a first adjusting device and one of the damper parts is adjustable relative to one of the fastening devices via a second adjusting device.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KGInventors: Matthias Kohlhauser, Hansjörg Pöhler

Patent number: 8807574Abstract: A spring shock absorber unit for adjusting the elevation of a vehicle, including an oscillation absorber, a support spring to absorb shocks impacting the vehicle, an upper spring seat at which the support spring is supported, an adjustment device for adjusting the height of the upper spring seat with an actuator and an adjustment mechanism configured to convert the rotary motion generated by the actuator into a translational motion of the upper spring seat, an axial bearing for supporting the spring shock absorber unit, particularly the upper spring seat and/or a piston rod at a body of a vehicle, optimal utilization of the space available shall be possible in spite of a plurality of functional elements. The adjustment mechanism can additionally serve the function of an axial bearing.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KGInventors: Matthias Kohlhauser, Hansjörg Pöhler

Patent number: 8371588Abstract: An actuator, which can be actuated along a longitudinal axis, in particular for a spring carrier, includes a stationary part, a first rotor, which can be driven so as to perform a rotary motion, a rotatable second rotor, which is supported against the stationary part in the axial direction in an axial rest position, a coupling device, by which the second rotor is coupled to the first rotor, and an output element, which is connected to the second rotor and can be moved axially by means of a rotary motion of the second rotor. The coupling device interacts with the first rotor and the second rotor in such a way that, starting from the rest position, an axial movement of the second rotor can be produced by means of a first rotary motion of the first rotor in order to release the second rotor from the stationary part and thereby bring it into a working position.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co.
