  • Publication number: 20250116312
    Abstract: A control arrangement for a frequency-dependent damping valve of a vibration damper having a control pot with a cylindrical pot wall and a pot base adjoining the pot wall, a control piston arranged axially displaceable in the control pot between first and second end positions. The pot base has a deformation portion produced by plastic deformation that defines the first end position. The control piston is slidingly guided at a guide bush. The deformation portion defines a trough in which the guide bush is received by a first axial end and a spring unit supported at the control piston acts on the control piston with a spring force. The guide bush has a cutout at the first axial end arranged in the trough and in which a base material of the control base is displaced by plastic deformation to form a positive engagement connection.

  • Publication number: 20170008558
    Abstract: An arrangement for connecting chassis parts, in particular a screw connection, between a structure made of a fiber-plastic composite and a metallic load-introducing element, designed as a traction member. The structure is double-walled having a first wall and at least a second wall spaced from the first wall. The first and second walls have each coaxially positioned recesses and a spacer, having a through hole, is positioned between the first and second walls. The load-introducing element extends through at least one recess and the hole of the spacer. The load-introducing element has a holding part assigned to it, and the load-introducing element and the holding part are connected to one another by a connecting segment. The connecting segment and/or the holding part essentially pass through the first and/or the second wall.
