In a vehicle axle for a motor vehicle, two electric drives are arranged in a frame construction for driving the wheels of an axle. The frame construction is provided with at least one transverse carrier, which is at its ends connected to longitudinal carriers. The two electric drives are arranged approximately axially parallel next to each other with their axes of rotation arranged transversely to the direction of travel. The at least one transverse carrier extends between the two electric drives.

Vehicle axle for a motor vehicle

A vehicle structure for a two-track vehicle provided with an auxiliary frame for a vehicle axle, in particular a rear axle, which is provided with a wheel suspension on the articulation points for wheel link on the superstructure side, which are connected to articulation points on the wheel carrier side, connected to a wheel carrier carrying a vehicle wheel, and which is equipped with a spring and/or damper unit, which is supported between a vehicle superstructure and the wheel suspension, wherein the wheel frame is connected to at least one auxiliary frame bearing in a manner that is decoupled from oscillations at the vehicle superstructure, and wherein the wheel and/or damping unit is equipped with a rotational damper. According to the invention, the auxiliary frame bearing is provided with a connection point at which is connected the rotational damper.

Vehicle body structure for a two-track vehicle

A wheel suspension for a wheel of an axle of a motor vehicle. A wheel hub, which is rotatably mounted in a wheel carrier, can be driven by an electric drive engine. The wheel carrier is rotatably mounted by at least one link about a pivot axis on the vehicle body. The electric drive engine and the link are rigidly connected to one another.

A method for operating a rotation damper for a motor vehicle which has an electric generator with a stator and a rotor includes detecting with a direction of rotation detection module a change of a direction of rotation of the rotor relative to the stator between a first direction of rotation and a second direction of rotation which is opposite to the first direction of rotation; generating with the direction of rotation detection module a signal indicative of an actual direction of rotation of the rotor relative to the stator; and as a function of the signal conducting an electrical current converted by the electric generator to a first electrical load having a first resistance value when the rotor rotates in the first direction of rotation, or to a second load having a second resistance value when the rotor rotates in the second direction of rotation.

A cover is disclosed for a chassis control arm which includes at least one bearing mount for a control arm bearing. The cover is formed separately from the chassis control arm and covers in the installed state at least part of the underside of the chassis control arm. Arranged on the cover is an extension which is intended as buffer and extends from the cover in the direction of the control arm bearing.

Cover for a chassis control arm

A motor vehicle includes a body, which body has at least two rear longitudinal members each forming a primary load path for collision forces, wherein the motor vehicle has a rear-end module that can be pre-assembled as a sub-assembly, which rear-end module can be connected to the body as part of the vehicle assembly after the completion of the body-in-white and has at least a supporting structure for fastening chassis components of a rear wheel suspension and a beam structure extending from the supporting structure toward the motor-vehicle rear for absorbing collision forces, wherein the supporting structure and the beam structure form at least one second load path for collision forces.

Motor vehicle and rear-end module therefor

A wheel suspension for a rear wheel of a two-track motor vehicle, includes a five-link assembly which has five individual links which are coupled to the vehicle body via body-side bearings and to the wheel carrier of the rear wheel via wheel-carrier-side bearings, which five-link assembly, as viewed in the direction of travel, has a front pair of links and a rear pair of links, wherein the front pair of links has a lower, front link, with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel, and an upper, front link, and the rear pair of links has a lower, rear link, in particular track rod, and an upper, rear link. A lower spring link, on which a spring arrangement having a vibration damper and a supporting spring is supported, is arranged in the direction of travel between the front and rear pairs of links. The front pair of links with respect to the spring link is of softer design in the transverse direction of the vehicle than the rear pair of links. As a result, a change in the toe-in at the rear wheel takes place under exertion of a lateral force or a longitudinal force.

Wheel suspension for a rear wheel of a two-track motor vehicle

A wheel suspension for the rear axle of a vehicle includes a wheel carrier that is steerable in a pivoting range for mounting a wheel, and a plurality of control arms for articulating the wheel carrier to the body of the vehicle, and further a damping device for damping a movement of the wheel carrier relative to the vehicle body. The damping device is connected to the wheel carrier by way of a wheel carrier connection, wherein the wheel carrier connection is arranged in an attachment area of the wheel space of the wheel defined by the pivoting range of the wheel carrier, which, of all areas of the wheel space facing the vehicle body, has the greatest direct distance to the vehicle body.

A stabilizer arrangement in a wheel suspension for a motor vehicle includes a rotatably supported center part oriented in the vehicle transverse direction, and at least one leg projecting from the center part in the vehicle longitudinal direction and articulated via a substantially vertically extending rod with a control arm of the wheel suspension. A joint connection is arranged between the rod and the control arm outside a vehicle longitudinal member by a transverse clearance in the vehicle transverse direction, when the vehicle is in the compressed state. The rod is articulated to the control arm such that its force vector extending through the joint connections of the rod extends through the center axis defined by the control arm bearings.

Stabilizer arrangement for a wheel suspension of motor vehicles

The invention relates to a wheel suspension for motor vehicles, with at least one upper transverse arm and two lower separated transverse arms per wheel, which are each arranged at a defined angle to one another and are articulated to the body of the vehicle and also to a wheel carrier, furthermore with a track rod which acts on the steering lever of the wheel carrier and with a McPherson strut unit which, aligned at a defined angle to the vertical, is coupled to the body of the vehicle and to the forward lower transverse arm via a rubber-metal sleeve bearing. To achieve improved driving comfort of the motor vehicle it is suggested that at least the forward lower transverse arm () is arranged such that the coupling point () of the McPherson strut unit () on the transverse arm () when the wheel is deflected viewed in the transverse direction of the vehicle () runs parallel to the longitudinal axis () of the McPherson strut unit ().

Method for producing an air guide for a suspension arm and suspension arm with an air guide

A wheel suspension for a rear wheel of a motor vehicle includes a wheel carrier, a lower control arm and a track rod connected to the wheel carrier at first and second points of articulation and supported on a vehicle body by first and second bearings. A rotation movement by the control arm and the track rod in response to longitudinal and/or lateral forces causes a toe-in change to thereby adjust the first point of articulation of the control arm by a first transverse offset in a vehicle transverse direction and adjust the second point of articulation of the track rod by a second transverse offset in the vehicle transverse direction. The first bearing is configured elastokinematically such that the first transverse offset of the first point of articulation is greater than the second transverse offset of the second point of articulation in response to the longitudinal and/or lateral forces.
