  • Patent number: 10919571
    Abstract: An independent suspension for vehicles, in particular for heavy vehicles, includes a steering knuckle developing between an outer portion, defining the axis of rotation of a wheel hub, and an inner portion, having a receiving seat extending transversely to the outer portion along a steering axis and a knuckle-carrier assembly rotatably coupled to the inner portion of the knuckle to allow a relative rotation around the steering axis, and including at least a first and a second supporting portion defining each a substantially horizontal hinge point for one end of a respective cross arm. The knuckle-carrier assembly includes a first and a second body, separate to each other, in which the first body includes a steering pin developing along the steering axis and the first supporting portion, and the second body is partially fitted around the steering pin and includes the second supporting portion.

  • Patent number: 10124639
    Abstract: A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle, particularly for a steerable drive wheel, includes a steering knuckle support and at least one transverse arm, which, at a first end thereof, is swivel-mounted about a horizontal axis, and, at the second end thereof, opposite the first end, forming a resting point for the steering knuckle support, is hinged onto the steering knuckle support. The steering knuckle support has a wheel hub with an outer rest surface for receiving a vehicle wheel that turns via the wheel hub. The wheel hub has, radially within the outer rest surface, a through opening for receiving a flange shaft that turns with the vehicle wheel.
