Abstract
A device for suspension and level adjustment in motor vehicles has a first connection element for connecting to at least one vehicle wheel, a second connection element for connecting to the body of the motor vehicle, at least one chassis spring, and an adjusting device. The adjusting device has two bearing points which are adjustable in their distance to one another via a gear driven by a motor. A first bearing point is connected to one connection element. A second bearing point is supported against the other connection element via the chassis spring. The gear has a coiled spring and at least one engagement element which engages between at least two coils of the spring adjacent to one another. The gear spring is assigned to the one bearing point and the engagement element is assigned to the other bearing point. The gear spring and the engagement element are pivotably mounted relative to one another and, for adjusting the distance of the bearing points, are able to be rotationally driven using a drive motor.
