Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for producing motor vehicle chassis parts which can be subjected to tensile stress, compressive stress and torsion and the mechanical strength of which can be adjusted over the respective cross-section, and which furthermore have high ductility and temperature stability and are made of an AlSiZnMg alloy by means of permanent mould casting.

Abstract: A front-axle bracket for motor vehicles has two accommodations spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal vehicle direction in each instance for the bearing locations for pivoting mounting of one or two wheel guide elements, in each instance, such as transverse control arms or A-arms, accommodations for attachment of the front-axle bracket as a pre-finished unit, together with pre-assembled assemblies, on the vehicle body, and at least individual ones of accommodations for attachment of the steering gear mechanism, for attachment of the stabilizer, and for mounting of a pendulum support. The front-axle bracket is produced as a component that is in one piece with these accommodations and connects them with one another. At least individual ones of the accommodations are integrated into the front-axle bracket by way of rod-shaped connecting elements, in framework-like manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to an axle module for a motor vehicle, the axle module being composed of two control arms which can be fixed to the body structure via a pivotal bearing, support the wheels of the axle and are connected to each other by an axle body. According to the invention, each control arm comprises a receiving element for a drive, particularly an electric motor, particularly a wheel hub motor. The receiving device is designed such that it forms the carrier for the stator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum die-casting system and a method for operating a vacuum die-casting system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for casting components preferably made of light metal, according to the tilt-casting principle, having a casting mold that can be tilted about its longitudinal axis, a casting channel that is disposed on the casting mold, in the longitudinal direction of the latter, the longitudinal side of which, facing the casting mold, has at least two outlets to the mold cavity, or at least one outlet, in each instance, to at least two mold cavities that are disposed next to one another and do not stand in a flow connection with one another. The casting channel has a subdivision device that is configured in such a manner that when the casting mold, together with the casting channel, is tilted, predetermined volumes of the casting melt flow through the outlets.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for casting in which an upper casting mold half can be pivoted out of a horizontal position into an approximately vertical position, in such a manner that the inside surface of the casting mold half can be treated in work-facilitating and time-saving manner, preferably by a person.

Abstract: The invention relates to a monolithically cast axle support (12) for motor vehicles. A steering box (10) is provided which is monolithically produced as a whole or in part along with the axle support or which is integrally bonded to the axle support as a whole or in part.

Abstract: A front-axle bracket for motor vehicles has two accommodations spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal vehicle direction in each instance for the bearing locations for pivoting mounting of one of two wheel guide elements, in each instance, such as transverse control arms or A-arms, accommodations for attachment of the front-axle bracket as a pre-finished unit, together with pre-assembled assemblies, on the vehicle body, and at least individual ones of accommodations for attachment of the steering gear mechanism, for attachment of the stabilizer, and for mounting of a pendulum support. The front-axle bracket is produced as a component that is in one piece with these accommodations and connects them with one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to an axle bracket for the rear axle of a motor vehicle, as an assembled structural unit comprising a single profiled transversal carrier (1) and consoles (2, 3) fixed to the end regions of the structural unit. Said consoles are each provided with molded binding positions (A, B; C, D; E; F; G, H) for at least three of the following units—the upper transverse links (6), the lower transverse links (4), the track rods (5), and the spring or damping unit (7)—and each comprise at least two molded binding positions (G, H) for attaching the axle bracket to the bodywork.
