  • Publication number: 20220161623
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air spring module having an air spring and a shock absorber for the suspension and damping of vibrations of a motor vehicle chassis. The air spring has a rolling bellows which is fastened to an air spring cover and a rolling piston. The rolling bellows at least partially delimits a first working space filled with compressed air. At least two working spaces are provided in the rolling piston, which are separated from one another by a partition and connectable to the first working space via switchable valves arranged in the rolling piston. In order to achieve simple production and installation as well as a low overall height, the rolling piston has at least two working spaces which are arranged adjacent to one another.

  • Publication number: 20220146005
    Abstract: A pressure retaining valve including: a first valve body for an opening of an air spring, the first valve body having an access opening; a second valve body connected to the first valve body and having a chamber fluidly communicating with the access opening and having a side outlet opening; and a return member disposed outside the access opening in the chamber for providing a bias toward the access opening; a closure part disposed in the chamber and movable from a closed condition against the bias to an open condition; and an actuator part having a head portion, a shaft section, and a flow channel, the head portion disposed outside the access opening and having a larger diameter than the access opening, wherein the stem portion is movably disposed through the access opening into the chamber, and the actuator member can move the closure member out of the closed condition.

  • Patent number: 7338036
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switchable assembly bearing that comprises at least one working chamber and one compensation chamber which are separated by a dividing wall. The working chamber and compensation chamber are hydraulically interconnected by means of a damping channel, in addition to at least one other damping channel which can be closed by means of the sealed arrangement of a shut-off body which can be displaced along a displacement path. The other damping channel is formed and arranged in relation to the axis of symmetry of the bearing in such a way that the forces acting on the shut-off body by means of the hydraulic fluid counterbalance each other.

  • Patent number: 7318582
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly bearing with hydraulic damping, especially for supporting engines and/or gearboxes in motor vehicles. Said bearing comprises a working chamber (10) and a compensation chamber (20) which respectively have partially elastically deformable walls (30, 40) and are separated by a dividing wall (50), but interconnected by means of a damping channel (60) through which a fluid is guided, in addition to another passage opening (14) which can be variably adjusted from outside. According to the invention, a decoupling device for insulating high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations is provided in the dividing wall (50), the other passage opening (14) being arranged upstream or downstream of said decoupling device.

  • Publication number: 20040026840
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a torsion spring set especially for the powertrain system of a motor vehicle, having a first internally located component (1) and a second externally located component (2) situated in such a way that it may be rotated in relation thereto, and having a spring (3) acting between the first and second component (1, 2) embodied in the form of a torsion spring, and also having a first securing device (7) for connecting a first end section (9) of the spring (3) to the first component (1) and a second securing device (8) for connecting a second end section (10) of the spring (3) to the second component (2). The spring (3) extends essentially in the direction of the periphery over at least one part of the periphery of the first component (1). At least one of the securing devices (7, 8) is embodied in such a way that the first and/or second end sections (9, 10) is/are moved in a radial direction to the second component (2) when the first component (1) is rotated.

  • Patent number: 6598864
    Abstract: A hydraulic two-chamber bearing for damping vibrations, in particular an engine mount on motor vehicles, having an engine-mount plate, a bearing spring made of rubber-elastic material, a working chamber and a compensation chamber for the liquid which are separated from each other by a partition provided with flow-through openings, and an elastic pressure diaphragm which terminates the compensation chamber, characterized in that the amount of fluid flowing through the openings (6) of the partition (5) is controlled as a function of the amplitude (A) of the vibrations.
