Abstract: A twist beam axle has two side arms and a torsion profile. The torsion profile is connected to a side arm by a weld seam in each case. At least in the area of the welded connection, the torsion profile has a wall having a wall thickness that is greater than the wall thickness of a wall of a side arm. The torsion profile has a joining surface at each end section and the side arms each have a joining surface, wherein the torsion profile and the side arms are each connected at mutually facing joining surfaces by a weld seam. The joining surface at the end section of the torsion profile has a bevel. The joining gap formed between the mutually facing joining surfaces of the end section and the side arm is configured as V-shaped.

Abstract: A twist beam axle has two side arms and a twist profile. The twist profile is joined to a side arm by a weld. At least in the area of the welded joint, the twist profile has a wall with a wall thickness that is greater than the wall thickness of a wall of one side arm. The twist profile has a joining surface at each end section and the side arms each have a joining surface, wherein the twist profile and the side arms are each joined at mutually facing joining surfaces by a weld. The joining surface on the end section of the twist profile has a bevel manufactured without cutting. The joining gap formed between the mutually facing joining surfaces of the end section and the side arm is configured in a V-shape.

Abstract: The damper force in vehicles having a ride level control system is controlled by, when the leveling system is activated, a signal that is generated and transmitted to a damper force control device (5). When the level control system is activated, the damper force is adapted, and especially reduced for a rapid control.

Abstract: The damper force in vehicles having a ride level control system is controlled by means of a method, according to which, when the leveling system is activated, a signal is generated and transmitted to a damper force control device (5). When the level control system is activated, the damper force is adapted, and especially reduced for a rapid control.

Abstract: A noise-burdened signal is filtered in accordance with a method of digitally filtering to filter out the noise component. The method includes inputting a signal into a digital filter of a filter length (K+1) wherein the filter length is less than the period of the fundamental frequency of the signal. A signal component of an order (m) is filtered from the signal based on earlier scanning values of the signal within the filter length. A filtered signal value is then outputted.
