A connection bridge device is suggested for connecting a multipoint link to a vehicle axle, particularly a multipart vehicle axle. The connection bridge device comprises at least one base body for receiving and dissipating forces and/or torques transmitted between the vehicle axle and the multipoint link, at least one axle fastening unit for fastening the base body to the vehicle axle, and at least one link coupling unit for coupling the base body to the multipoint link, which link coupling unit is intersected by a main extension plane of the base body.

Connection bridge device

A cabin suspension arrangement for a utility vehicle, having a plurality of trailing arms that extend in a longitudinal direction, by which a driver's cabin is mounted and can pivoted relative to a vehicle frame. Two of the trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction that extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, are connected to one another by a torsion bar spring that extends in the transverse direction, and are arranged at the same height in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the transverse direction, thereby forming a first trailing arm pair. Two other trailing arms are arranged spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction, are arranged at the same height in the vertical direction, and thereby form a second trailing arm pair, which is spaced apart, in the vertical direction, from the first trailing arm pair.

Cab support arrangement for a utility vehicle

A chassis arrangement (), in particular for utility vehicles (), with at least one axle () that extends transverse to the travel direction and carries wheels (). Movement of the axle () is damped by vibration dampers () provided with end sections (), and with at least one stabilizer assembly () that has two longitudinally extending sections () and a transverse section () that connects the longitudinally extending sections. An end section () of the vibration damper () is held directly on and is connected to the stabilizer assembly () on an extension () of the transversely orientated section () beyond the longitudinal section ().

Chassis system for a motor vehicle

A four-point link for the suspension of a rigid axle which has four bearing seats. Two bearing seats can be articulated on the axle and two can be articulated on the vehicle frame. The link has a single-piece link body which is inscribed by the trapezoid formed by the bearing seats. The link body is formed of a fiber-composite arrangement that comprises at least one longitudinal fiber arrangement. The longitudinal fiber arrangement encases the bearing seat, at least along half circumference thereof and extends along at least a portion of the link body in order to optimize loading, reduce mass and increase its application. Torsional compliance makes it possible to use relatively small and/or hard rubber bearings for articulating the four-point link or the vehicle axle.

Four-point link

A suspension system for the resilient/damped suspension of a driver's cab of a motor vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. The suspension system has a spring/damper arrangement and a hydraulic arrangement with hydraulic cylinders on the right and left sides, relative to the driving direction. The hydraulic cylinders are connected in a cross-over manner to form a roll stabilizing device. The suspension system has an upper cross-bridge that is arranged on the driver's cab and a lower cross-bridge that is arranged on the vehicle chassis. The spring/damper arrangement and the hydraulic arrangement are positioned between and connected to the upper and lower cross-bridges.

Driver's cab suspension device with roll stabilizing means

A rigid axle with direct air suspension, preferably for a commercial vehicle. The rigid axle includes an axle body, trailing arms, air springs and vibration dampers. The rigid axle is characterized in that a contact point of the vibration damper, on the axle side, is arranged on the trailing arm. The arrangement of the vibration damper parallel to the direction in which the axle is deflected provides both space and weight savings, without the necessity of arranging elaborately constructed and weight-increasing additional devices in the area of the axle body or the chassis and allows light and slim vibration dampers to be used, and eliminates undesirable horizontally-acting force components of the damping force.
