  • Patent number: 9399379
    Abstract: An air spring for chassis of vehicles, which is clamped with an air spring piston and an air spring cover between the chassis and vehicle body of a motor vehicle, includes an elastomeric air spring bellows which at least partially delimits a compressed air-filled working chamber and which, forming at least one rolling fold, rolls on the air spring piston. The air spring bellows is attached by clamping elements to the air spring cover and the air spring piston, including an external guide attached to the air spring bellows and spaced apart from the air spring cover and attached to the air spring bellows such that a partial piece of the air spring bellows is formed between the air spring cover and the external guide as a cardanic fold which permits deflection of the air spring bellows produced by forces acting perpendicular to the axis of the air spring bellows.

  • Patent number: 7231865
    Abstract: A swiveling motor for a divided stabilizer in an area of a vehicle axle, in which a housing is closed off in a region of its end surfaces by lids. A differential pressure regulating valve located coaxially with the housing and having at least one electromagnet, and two springs of different spring load deflection characteristics directed opposite to one another. One of these springs has a lower spring load deflection characteristic in a region of the electromagnet.

  • Publication number: 20060163863
    Abstract: A vehicle chassis with a spring bracket supporting a helical spring braced between two spring plates. a region of a piston and a shock absorber tube is disposed within the helical spring. At least one of the spring plates is axially adjustable by a drive unit having a circular electric motor with a stator and a rotor, and a transmission having a threaded spindle and a threaded screw.

  • Publication number: 20050247053
    Abstract: An oscillating motor for a two-part stabilizer in the vicinity of a motor vehicle axis. The motor has at least one housing which is closed by covers in vicinity of its end faces and holds a rotor in addition to a valve. This valve is a pressure differential control valve positioned coaxially with the housing, and contains at least one electromagnet.

  • Publication number: 20020130452
    Abstract: A shock absorber and air spring assembly includes an air spring and a shock absorber. The air spring has a cover, a roll-off piston and a flexible member having a lower end portion attached to the roll-off piston to form a lower rolling lobe and an upper end portion attached to the cover so as to form an upper rolling lobe. The flexible member encloses a volume of air and deflects over a spring path during operation of the assembly. The shock absorber is interposed between the cover and the roll-off piston. At least a region of the upper rolling lobe is in contact engagement with the cover over at least a portion of the spring path so as to cause the upper rolling lobe to define an elastic element facilitating a pivoting of the air spring relative to the shock absorber over the portion of the spring path.
