A tandem axle (TA) has identical right and left halves, each having a walking beam ( 9 ) for suspending the respective half from a chassis frame. A front axle (FA) is at a front of the walking beam and a rear axle (RA) at the rear. Each axle has a carrier carrying a direct wheel drive mechanism having a direct drive motor ( 6 ) that drives inboard and outboard wheel hubs ( 3 ). A front steering motor ( 14 ) mounted on the walking beam has a shaft ( 14 S) coupled to the front axle carrier for steering the front axle, and a rear steering motor ( 13 ) steers the rear axle. Each carrier carries its direct wheel drive mechanism in a manner that allows the inboard wheel hub to swing upward along an arc while the outboard wheel hub swings downward along an arc, and the outboard wheel hub to swing upward along an arc while the inboard wheel hub swings downward along an arc.

In a method of producing a stabilizer for installation in a bearing unit of a motor vehicle, each end portion of a strip-shaped metal element is provided with a closing contour. The metal element is shaped to assume an undulating configuration having a wave portion. After being placed in a tool, a stabilizer bar is pressed against a circumference of the wave portion of the undulating metal element and the wave portion is formed onto the stabilizer bar such that the wave portion has at least one section which is ironed and the ironed section is urged into forced contact with the stabilizer bar. The metal element is then bent to embrace the stabilizer bar, and the end portions of the metal element are connected by engaging the closing contours of the end portions with a defined incline to thereby form a closed limiter ring fixed to the stabilizer bar.

The ECU of the stabilizer control apparatus determines, based on a high frequency component of a wheel acceleration and a low frequency component of a wheel speed difference, whether a road surface state is a rough road state or a smooth road state. When the road surface state is determined to be the rough road state, the ECU sets a turning determination threshold to a rough road threshold. When the road surface state is determined to be the smooth road state, the ECU sets the threshold to a smooth road threshold. When a turning determination parameter is greater than the threshold, the ECU sets each of first, second, and third cylinders to a lock state to increase rigidity of stabilizers. When the turning determination parameter is smaller than the turning determination threshold, the ECU sets each of the cylinders to a free state to decrease the rigidity of the stabilizers. 1. A stabilizer control apparatus applied to a vehicle having a stabilizer comprising:a first sensor generating a first signal that varies depending on a roughness state of a road surface on which said vehicle is running;a second sensor generating a second signal that varies depending on a degree of turning of said vehicle;a variable rigidity device configured to vary a torsional rigidity of said stabilizer; and obtain a turning determination parameter indicative of a degree of turning of said vehicle based on said second signal;', 'compare said turning determination parameter with a turning determination threshold;', 'let said variable rigidity device set said torsional rigidity of said stabilizer at a first rigidity, when said turning determination parameter is greater than said turning determination threshold; and', 'let said variable rigidity device set said torsional rigidity of said stabilizer at a second rigidity lower than said first rigidity, when said turning determination parameter is equal to or smaller than said turning determination threshold,, 'a control unit configured towherein ...

A suspension system is provided for a movable, supported vehicle axle. The suspension system includes a pair of hydraulic suspension cylinders, which are placed between the vehicle axle and a supporting vehicle structure. Each hydraulic suspension cylinder includes a first work chamber connected to a first pressure accumulator, and a second work chamber connected to a second pressure accumulator. A pressure-limiting valve is exposed to pressure in the first work chamber and has an outlet connected to the second pressure accumulator.

Suspension for Mountain Bicycles

Номер: US20150001829A1
Автор: Brian David Berthold
Принадлежит: Individual

Unique suspension apparatuses, systems and methods useful for mountain bicycles among other applications are disclosed. In certain exemplary embodiments the suspension is self adjusting to meet different performance objectives. The suspension may utilize pedaling force to substantially stiffen or lock out movement of the suspension, for example, during climbing. The suspension may change its performance under reduced pedaling force to provide performance characteristics desired when a rider is descending. Certain exemplary embodiments include a rocker arm connected to a first frame portion at a first rocker arm pivot, connected to a seatstay at a second rocker arm pivot, and connected to a second link at a third rocker arm pivot. The first link is connected to the first frame portion at a first link pivot, connected to the chainstay at a second link pivot, and connected to the shock and the second link at a third link pivot.
