Abstract: A joint arrangement is proposed in a vehicle having a knuckle steering system where the steering linkage comprises one tie rod (2) flexibly connected with the steering cylinder via one joint (9), on lever element (3) flexibly connected with the tie rod (2) and the axle bridge (1) via one joint (7) provided between the tie rod (2) and the lever element (3) and one joint (8) provided between the elver element (3) and the axle bridge (1) and one coupler (5) flexibly connected with the axle head (6) and the tie rod (2) via one joint (10) provided between the coupler (5) and the tie rod (2), the lever element (3) and the coupler (5) being connected with the tie rod (2) via a double joint (6), at least one joint (7) being designed as radial joint and the other joints (8, 9, 10) as ball joints.

Abstract: A vehicle having at least one axle (1) steerable via a knuckle steering system (4) which is designed with one main steering cylinder device (6) flexibly connected with track rods (8A, 8B). The track rods are in operative connection with wheel carriers (10A, 10B). A steering kinematics of the knuckle steering system between the main steering cylinder device and one wheel carrier (10A, 10B), is in flexible operative connection with a lever element (13A, 13B) rotatable around a fixed pivot (14A, 14B) in a manner that a steering angle error corresponding to a demanded steering angle is substantially minimized by a reduction of the angle of lock of the wheel (2A or 2B) currently outside the curve in relation to an angle of lock of the wheel (2B or 2A) currently inside the curve.

Abstract: A parking brake for a motor vehicle comprises a disk packet (12) on an axle body in a brake housing (1) with at least one brake disk, one spring (8), by way of which the closure of the brake is effected by compression of the disk packet and a piston (7), superimposed on the spring. A compression space (6) of which piston can be subjected to hydraulic pressure for releasing the parking brake counter to the engaging force of the spring. The force of the piston is transferred by at least one pressure pin (4) onto a pressure transmission element (2). The element communicates with the disk packet and the pressure pin is located within the pressure space of the piston such that no connection exists between the pressure pin and an axle space (11) such that leakage of hydraulic fluid out of the compression space into the axle space is prevented.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air guide through steering and rigid axles, particularly in planetary design, in rotary hubs for tire pressure regulation. A sealing ring (1) seals and air guide in the wheel head of a planetary steering axle with sealing lips against a U-shaped annular ring (2) comprising a metal wearing plate. The sealing lips of the sealing ring (1) acting in a radial direction. The sealing ring (1) is connected with a joint housing (4) and secured with pivots against distortion relative to said housing. The U-shaped ring (2) is firmly connected with the wheel hub (3) and is centered on the outer diameter by a close fit and secured against distortion relative to the wheel hub (3) and is sealed by means of O-rings (6). Between the annular, U-shaped ring (2) and the housing remains a narrow gap, the so-called labyrinth, which protects the seal against fouling.
