  • Patent number: 10330188
    Abstract: Gears, for example, for a gear train are disclosed. The gear may be divided into two axially adjacent spur gears and have a torsion spring in the form of a circular ring segment. Between two peripherally mutually opposing spring ends, a slot may be formed in which two cams engage which are each assigned to one of the two spur gears. One of the cams may be assigned to one of the two spring ends and the other cam may be assigned to the other spring end. The two cams may be arranged at least substantially overlap-free in an axial direction, wherein contact faces for the cams formed at both spring ends of the torsion spring are arranged on a radially outer end of the spring ends. The contact faces may be delimited radially inwardly by clearances on the spring ends.

  • Publication number: 20180086172
    Abstract: A roll stabilizer, e.g., for a multitrack motor vehicle, with a divided torsion bar, between the mutually facing ends of which an actuator is arranged for transmission of a torsion moment. The actuator may have a housing which is connected to the one torsion bar part and houses a motor and a planetary gear mechanism connected to the motor, the gear output of which is connected to the other torsion bar part. and the planet wheels of which intermesh with a mating gear. A multistage planetary gear mechanism is provided, whose final planetary gear stage on the gear output side is equipped with planet wheels, wherein at least one of said planet wheels is divided into two axially adjacent spur gears which are rotatable relative to each other and between which a torsion spring is actively arranged. The divided planet wheel may be in play-free engagement with the mating gear.

  • Patent number: 9835451
    Abstract: A method for determining a ride height of a body of a motor vehicle and includes the steps of determining wheel heights at at least four different wheels of the motor vehicle, forming different selections of in each case three of the determined wheel heights, determining a ride height of the body for each selection, comparing the determined ride heights, and determining that at least one measurement value for a wheel height is implausible if the determined ride heights differ from one another by more than a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 9333830
    Abstract: A method for operating a stabilizer arrangement which has two stabilizer modules and an actuator, wherein the stabilizer modules are arranged along an axle of a motor vehicle and are acted on by the actuator, wherein at least one kinematic variable of each wheel which is oriented in the vertical direction of the axle is determined, wherein by using a value of the at least one kinematic variable a value for at least one pilot control parameter is determined by a pilot control arrangement, which value is made available to a control cascade which includes an angle control module, a rotational speed control module and a power control module, wherein a value for a power control for operating the actuator is made available by the control cascade from the value for the pilot control parameter, which is dependent on the value of the kinematic variable.

  • Patent number: 9283824
    Abstract: A method for controlling a torque of a roll stabilizing system which acts on a wheel suspension system of a chassis for a vehicle in order to correct a rolling inclination of the bodywork of a vehicle, wherein a spring travel value of at least two wheels of the vehicle is detected. The torque is determined as a function of a difference between the spring travel values of the two wheels, and the determined torque is applied to the wheel suspension system. An actual torque which acts on the wheel suspension system is preferably determined on the basis of the differences between the spring travel values. The actual torque is used to calculate a setpoint torque for a roll stabilizing system.
