Abstract: The invention relates to a leaf spring (1) for motor vehicles, which is made of a fiber-reinforced synthetic material and can absorb potentially occurring lateral forces and transfer them to a leaf spring receiving device, comprises a first end (2) and a second end (3), which can each be fixed in a leaf spring receiving device in a torsion-proof and non-displaceable manner, and a bending joint section (11), which can compensate for a change in length of a resilient section (8) of the leaf spring (1) during a load-induced deformation of the resilient section (8). The leaf spring (1) comprises a first spring limb (5) and a second spring limb (6) which are connected to each other via a transition section (7). In a non-loaded state, both the first spring limb (5) and the second spring limb (6) are approximately planar and disposed at an angle relative to each other. The first spring limb (5) forms the resilient section (8). The bending joint section (11) contains the second spring limb (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to an axle guide consisting of a fiber-synthetic material composite for guiding an axle in the running gear of a rail vehicle, in particular a high-speed rail vehicle. Said guide has two end sections (11, 11?) for connecting the guide (1) both to the axle and to the chassis (2) of the running gear in a manner resistant to torsion and a central section (12) located therebetween, which has a longitudinal axis (13) aligned with the direction of travel (X) and across-section that is at least partially flat in the vertical direction (Z). The guide (1) has at least one integrated flexural joint (14) with a vertical flexural axis (15) and enables a rotational degree of freedom, which protects the wheel beating from damaging flexural stresses, to be achieved simply without the need for an additional joint component.

Abstract: The pasty damping medium is used to damp mechanical and/or acoustic oscillations. The agent contains as a minimum compound a solid finely divided substance or a mixture of solid finely divided substances, as a liquid phase, a silicone oil, a polyglycol, a mineral oil and/or a saturated aliphatic or aromatic aliphatic carboxylic acid ester, an agent for increasing the interfacial surface activity or a surfactant, a finely divided magnesium and/or aluminium silicate and/or a silicon dioxide finely divided as a viscosity stabilizer and possibly a small quantity of an antioxidant. The invention concerns also a method for producing the pasty damping medium and the use of the pasty damping medium in different hydraulic damping devices or for industrial shock absorber or industrial vibration damper.
