  • Publication number: 20180244120
    Abstract: A vehicle axle arrangement of a vehicle wheel suspension system which has a spring arrangement which runs in the vehicle transverse direction in the installed position, steers wheels, and has bearings at the ends which are directed toward the wheels. The bearings are connected via respective bearing arrangements to transverse links which are in turn connected to wheel supports. The transverse links are coupled to a vehicle body. The spring arrangement have two leaf springs of identical configuration which are connected to one another via a coupling member.

  • Publication number: 20170284490
    Abstract: A brake disc having a friction ring and a hub produced as a separate element and arranged inside the friction ring according. Recesses are configured in the friction ring on the inside to connect the hub to the friction ring and corresponding projections are formed on the hub, which projections engage in the recesses of the friction ring in order to be able to transfer torque from the friction ring to the hub. The recesses have an undercut at least partially in a radial direction, as viewed looking inward from the outside. The disc is simple and cost-effective to manufacture and has an acoustically advantageous operating performance, in particular in the case of thermal expansion.

  • Publication number: 20150258864
    Abstract: The wheel for a motor vehicle is composed essentially of a fiber composite material, wherein the spokes of the wheel are each formed with a longitudinally extending cavity and said cavity is fluidically connected to a rim well or to a tire-rim space formed by the rim well and a mounted tire via an air passage opening, with the result that both monitoring of the hollow spokes for damage and in the case of tire damage is possible by a tire pressure monitoring device arranged in the wheel.
