The invention relates to an axle unit comprising an axle tube and a link element, wherein the axle tube substantially extends along a tube axis, wherein the link element has a joining portion with a first welding portion and a second welding portion, wherein the link element is arranged with its joining portion adjacent to the axle tube and substantially transversely with respect to the tube axis, wherein, in the first welding portion and in the second welding portion, a welded joint can be produced between the link element and the axle tube.

Axle unit

Relates to a link element, in particular for use in utility vehicles, comprising a first wall region, a second wall region and a third wall region, wherein the link element has a pivot region for pivotable support about a pivot axis, wherein the first wall region and the second wall region extend substantially parallel with a transverse plane, wherein the transverse plane is orthogonal to the pivot axis, wherein the third wall region protrudes along a lateral plane from the first wall region and/or from the second wall region, wherein the lateral plane is orientated perpendicularly to the transverse plane, wherein the third wall region is arranged parallel with the transverse plane eccentrically with respect to the extent of the first wall region and/or the second wall region.

Suspension link element

A link assembly for a vehicle, comprising a longitudinal link which has an upper link element and a lower link element, and at least one bushing receptacle for receiving a bearing bushing, wherein the bushing receptacle is at least partially integrated in at least one of the link elements, or is connectable as a separate part to the upper link element and the lower link element.

Link assembly

An axle unit comprising a first suspension arm element and a second suspension arm element, wherein the first suspension arm element and the second suspension arm element can be mounted on a vehicle frame so as to be pivotable about a common pivot axis, wherein the first suspension arm element has a first joining region configured as a recess, and the second suspension arm element has a second joining region configured as a recess, wherein the first joining region and the second joining region are arranged on two opposing sides of an axle tube extending substantially along a tube axis, and wherein the axle tube can be secured by substance bonding in the first and second joining regions to the first and second suspension arm elements.
