  • Patent number: 7213799
    Abstract: A pneumatic suspension and damping arrangement (100) is fixedly mounted on the chassis at the upper region and to the wheel mount at the lower region thereof. The arrangement includes two hermetically closed air springs (101, 102) filled with pressurized gas, whose volumes can be changed and which are connected via an air connection (134) to a pressurized gas source. The air springs are each enclosed by a movable wall formed by a flexible member (116, 124) and each roll off on a roll-off contour and are connected to each other via a throttle element (108) through which the gas can flow in two directions. The air springs are arranged one above the other and the roll-off contour of the first air spring (101) is defined in such a way by the second air spring (102) that the first air spring (101) rolls off on the second air spring (102). A connecting element of the upper cover (104) ) with the roll-off piston (128) of the second air spring (102) runs outside of the two air springs (101, 102).

  • Publication number: 20060220448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a chassis bearing (1), in particular for the rear axle of a motor vehicle. The bearing includes an outer bearing sleeve (2), an inner bearing sleeve (3), an elastomer body (4) that is situated between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and two chambers (5, 6), which are located between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and are delimited at least partially by the elastomer body. The chambers are separated from one another and are positioned symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis (7) of the inner bearing sleeve. Each chamber has a stop (8, 9), which is located on a common transverse axis (10) of the inner bearing sleeve and is positioned at a distance from a corresponding counterstop surface (11, 12) inside the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20030173723
    Abstract: A pneumatic suspension and damping arrangement (100) is especially for vehicles and can be fixedly mounted on the chassis at the upper region and to the wheel mount at the lower region thereof. The pneumatic suspension and damping arrangement includes at least two hermetically closed air springs (101, 102) filled with pressurized gas, whose volumes can be changed and which are connected via an air connection (134) to a pressurized gas source. The air springs are each enclosed by a movable wall formed by a flexible member (116, 124) and each roll off on a roll-off contour and are connected to each other via a throttle element (108) through which the gas can flow in two directions.
