  • Publication number: 20220111693
    Abstract: A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle includes a torsion bar and a vibration damper located on the torsion bar. The vibration damper is configured to vibrate relative to the torsion bar. The vibration damper includes two half-shells formed together about the torsion bar. Damper elements are disposed between the half-shells. The damper elements can be adjusted via an adjustment component to alter the rigidity of the damper elements.

  • Patent number: 10330188
    Abstract: Gears, for example, for a gear train are disclosed. The gear may be divided into two axially adjacent spur gears and have a torsion spring in the form of a circular ring segment. Between two peripherally mutually opposing spring ends, a slot may be formed in which two cams engage which are each assigned to one of the two spur gears. One of the cams may be assigned to one of the two spring ends and the other cam may be assigned to the other spring end. The two cams may be arranged at least substantially overlap-free in an axial direction, wherein contact faces for the cams formed at both spring ends of the torsion spring are arranged on a radially outer end of the spring ends. The contact faces may be delimited radially inwardly by clearances on the spring ends.

  • Publication number: 20180086172
    Abstract: A roll stabilizer, e.g., for a multitrack motor vehicle, with a divided torsion bar, between the mutually facing ends of which an actuator is arranged for transmission of a torsion moment. The actuator may have a housing which is connected to the one torsion bar part and houses a motor and a planetary gear mechanism connected to the motor, the gear output of which is connected to the other torsion bar part. and the planet wheels of which intermesh with a mating gear. A multistage planetary gear mechanism is provided, whose final planetary gear stage on the gear output side is equipped with planet wheels, wherein at least one of said planet wheels is divided into two axially adjacent spur gears which are rotatable relative to each other and between which a torsion spring is actively arranged. The divided planet wheel may be in play-free engagement with the mating gear.
