A gear mechanism for an anti-roll stabilizer of a vehicle, having at least one planetary gear mechanism stage with a sun gear, an internal gear and at least two planetary clears, at least one planetary gear having a first planetary part and a second planetary part which are mounted coaxially and are connected to one another via a spring apparatus. The spring apparatus loads the two planetary parts with a prestressing force in an opposed manner in the circumferential direction.

Gear mechanism for an anti-roll stabilization means of a vehicle

Gears, for example, for a gear train are disclosed. The gear may be divided into two axially adjacent spur gears and have a torsion spring in the form of a circular ring segment. Between two peripherally mutually opposing spring ends, a slot may be formed in which two cams engage which are each assigned to one of the two spur gears. One of the cams may be assigned to one of the two spring ends and the other cam may be assigned to the other spring end. The two cams may be arranged at least substantially overlap-free in an axial direction, wherein contact faces for the cams formed at both spring ends of the torsion spring are arranged on a radially outer end of the spring ends. The contact faces may be delimited radially inwardly by clearances on the spring ends.

Gear for a gear train

A method for determining a ride height of a body of a motor vehicle and includes the steps of determining wheel heights at at least four different wheels of the motor vehicle, forming different selections of in each case three of the determined wheel heights, determining a ride height of the body for each selection, comparing the determined ride heights, and determining that at least one measurement value for a wheel height is implausible if the determined ride heights differ from one another by more than a predetermined amount.

System and method for determining a ride height of a motor vehicle

A method for operating a stabilizer arrangement which has two stabilizer modules and an actuator, wherein the stabilizer modules are arranged along an axle of a motor vehicle and are acted on by the actuator, wherein at least one kinematic variable of each wheel which is oriented in the vertical direction of the axle is determined, wherein by using a value of the at least one kinematic variable a value for at least one pilot control parameter is determined by a pilot control arrangement, which value is made available to a control cascade which includes an angle control module, a rotational speed control module and a power control module, wherein a value for a power control for operating the actuator is made available by the control cascade from the value for the pilot control parameter, which is dependent on the value of the kinematic variable.

Method for operating a stabilizer arrangement

A method for controlling a torque of a roll stabilizing system which acts on a wheel suspension system of a chassis for a vehicle in order to correct a rolling inclination of the bodywork of a vehicle, wherein a spring travel value of at least two wheels of the vehicle is detected. The torque is determined as a function of a difference between the spring travel values of the two wheels, and the determined torque is applied to the wheel suspension system. An actual torque which acts on the wheel suspension system is preferably determined on the basis of the differences between the spring travel values. The actual torque is used to calculate a setpoint torque for a roll stabilizing system.

Method for controlling a torque of a roll stabilizing system

A stabilizer coupling for use in a roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle has at least one actuator, with the actuator being formed by an outer profile element and an inner profile element. An elastically deformable body is arranged between the outer profile element and the inner profile element. The outer profile element is formed as a hollow profile component, in particular a hollow profile component constructed as an extruded profile and made from a light metal alloy.
