Patent number: 9073402Abstract: A torsion beam axle for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle. The torsion beam axle has a torsionally compliant transverse section. A trailing arm is fixed at each opposed end of the transverse section. Each trailing arm supports a wheel carrier that pivots about a respective steering axis. The wheel carriers are connected to one another via ball joints and a tie rod, and couple an actuating mechanism for producing steering movement of the wheel carriers about their respective steering axes. A kinematic coupling system is connected to the tie rod and designed to regulate the degree of freedom of rotational movement of the tie rod. A torsion beam axle in which —to minimizing track angle differences or unsymmetrical bouncing behavior—the tie rod and actuating mechanism maintain optimum kinematic conditions in all operating situations.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Christoph Elbers, Simon Aramah, Jens Vortmeyer, Marc Wiesenthal

Patent number: 7878511Abstract: A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle is described, in which at least a first and at least a second control arm (1, 2) are coupled in an articulated manner to a wheel carrier (4) carrying a vehicle wheel (3). The wheel suspension has a compensating device (5, 6) for correcting wheel positions, and each control arm (1, 2) has a portion of the compensating device (5, 6) or is connected to a portion of the compensating device (5, 6). The compensating device portions (5, 6) of one wheel are connected to one another by at least one coupling member (7, 8).Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Felix Haeusler, Christoph Elbers, Knut Heidsieck, Simon Aramah

Publication number: 20100090431Abstract: A wheel suspension of a motor vehicle with a two-part wheel carrier (2) that supports a vehicle wheel (1) is proposed, whose first part (3) is articulated to a second part (4), at least one compensation means (5, 6) being provided for connecting the first part (3) of the wheel carrier (2) to the second part (4) of the wheel carrier (2). According to the invention, the vehicle wheel (1) is actively connected by a stabilizer (7) to a vehicle wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle as viewed in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle. The stabilizer (7) is articulated to the compensation means (5, 6).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2007Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Simon Aramah, Knut Heidsieck, Felix Haeusler

Publication number: 20100044979Abstract: An independent wheel suspension for a motor vehicle in which at least a first and at least a second link arm are respectively articulated to a wheel carrier supporting a vehicle wheel. The independent wheel suspension includes a compensation unit for the correcting the wheel positions. The first and the second link arms either include or are connected to compensation units and at least two compensation units, of each wheel, are connected to one another by at least one coupling element. The wheel position of at least one of the vehicle wheels, that deviates from a neutral position, can be sensed by a sensor unit having a measured-value transmitter and receiver that are arranged on at least one of the compensation units of the vehicle wheel concerned, or associated with at least one of the compensation units.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2007Publication date: February 25, 2010Applicant: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Felix Haeusler, Simon Aramah, Knut Heidsieck

Publication number: 20100013176Abstract: A wheel suspension assembly with a two-part wheel carrier (2) that supports a vehicle wheel (1). A first part (3) of the wheel carrier (2) is articulated to a second part (4) of the wheel carrier (2). Pivoting links (5, 6, 7) connect the first part (3) of the wheel carrier (2) to the second part (4) of the wheel carrier (2) and provide camber and/or tracking adjustment of the vehicle wheel (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2007Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Simon Aramah, Knut Heidsieck, Felix Haeusler
