  • Patent number: 11059338
    Abstract: A strut bearing may help bear a strut on a vehicle body and set and adjust camber at the strut of a wheel suspension. The strut bearing may include a fixing means, a releasable clamping connection between the strut bearing and the vehicle body, a strut receiver, and an adjustment device. The adjustment device may comprise a sliding block with a guide element, a bearing plate with a guide element receiver forming a linear guide of the sliding block with the guide element together with the guide element receiver, and a clamping plate. The bearing and clamping plates and the sliding block may be arranged such that the sliding block is clamped between the bearing and clamping plates. The strut receiver may be arranged on the sliding block such that a position of the sliding block in the linear guide correlates with the setting of the camber at the strut.

  • Patent number: 10696116
    Abstract: An air spring connecting device for mounting an air spring strut on a vehicle may include an air spring support bearing having a head bearing receiver, a head bearing having at least one cylindrical outer surface, and a piston rod that is axially guided through the head bearing and is sealed in an airtight manner relative to the head bearing. The head bearing may be positioned in the head bearing receiver of the air spring support bearing positioned coaxially relative to the piston rod. An airtight connection may be formed between the head bearing receiver and the head bearing. A press connection element may be positioned in direct contact with the head bearing receiver and the head bearing. A sealing element may be positioned in a region of the head bearing receiver between the air spring support bearing and the head bearing.
