  • Patent number: 8851490
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stabilizer arrangement for a motor vehicle, composed of a first stabilizer half, a second stabilizer half, and an actuator which couples the two stabilizer halves, wherein a first connecting section of the actuator is connected to the first stabilizer half, and a second connecting section of the actuator is connected to the second stabilizer half, in a rotationally fixed fashion and so as to be nondisplaceable in the axial direction. In this context, at least one connecting element is present which connects the stabilizer halves by their end sides to the connecting sections, and wherein the at least one connecting element is embodied as a pin connection, bolt connection or screw connection.

  • Patent number: 8562008
    Abstract: A stabilizer coupling for use in a roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle has at least one actuator, with the actuator being formed by an outer profile element and an inner profile element. An elastically deformable body is arranged between the outer profile element and the inner profile element. The outer profile element is formed as a hollow profile component, in particular a hollow profile component constructed as an extruded profile and made from a light metal alloy.

  • Publication number: 20110198820
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilizer (1, 26) which has at least two stabilizer components which are coupled with one another materially by thermal joining, characterized in that a heat-affected zone (7) produced by the thermal joining is at least partially heat treated after coupling. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a stabilizer (1, 26), wherein at least two stabilizer components are connected with one another by thermal joining, characterized in that the heat-affected zone (7) produced by the thermal joining is heat-treated.
