Abstract:
The invention relates to a support (2) for supporting and compensating a shift in the position of a parked semi-trailer (1), which support consists of an outer support tube (21) and an inner support (22), which can be telescopically slid into the outer support tube (21) and consists of a support upper part (221) and a support lower part (222), said parts being hinged together by a pivot bearing (23), wherein the lower end of the support lower part (222) is rigidly connected to a rolling segment (24) and the outer surface of the outer support tube (21) is fully closed at least along the edge facing the inner support (22), and wherein the rolling segment (24) has a dished shape and in the retracted state of the support (2) the outer support tube (21) protrudes into the rolling segment (24).
Abstract:
A frame arrangement for a vehicle comprises a first frame element extending a substantially lengthwise direction of a vehicle, a fastening element having sidewalls and operably coupled to the first frame element and configured to hold an axle guide, a second frame element extending substantially at right angles to the first frame element fastened to the fastening element such that the second frame element surrounds at least some region of the fastening element, and wherein the second frame element is substantially U-shaped and includes at least a pair of fastening segments forming legs of the U-shaped fastening segment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wheel hub arrangement (1) having at least one wheel hub (2) which is mounted rotatably via at least one wheel bearing (3) on a bearing journal (4) of an axle body (5) which is mounted on a vehicle chassis. Furthermore, the wheel hub arrangement (1) can have a brake system (6). The bearing journal (4) is assigned a display device for displaying critical temperature loading of the wheel bearing (3) and/or the brake system (6), wherein this display device has a display element which responds when critical temperature loading is exceeded.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for mounting a wheel on an axle housing in the form of an axle tube (1) for vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles, whereby the wheel is fixed e.g. with wheel bolts to a wheel hub, pivoting on the axle stub (2) of the axle tube (1) and the axle stub (2) is clamped on to an end section (3) of the axle tube (1) as a separate component. For simplicity of manufacture and assembly combined with functional durability it is proposed that the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is cylindrical on the inside and has at least one longitudinal slit (4), that the axle stub (2) fits into the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) with an externally corresponding cylindrical connecting section (5) and that the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is radially clamped on to the connecting section (5) of the axle stub (2) by means of at least one longitudinally continuously split clamping ring (6) positioned on the end section (3) of the axle tube (1).
Abstract:
The invention concerns an axle assembly with a vehicle axle having a rigid axle body, e.g., one formed as an axle tube (8), with a radius arm (6, 7) on either side of the vehicle's longitudinal midplane, which can be linked at a first front end (9, 10) to a bearing point fixed to the chassis and is joined rigidly to the axle body (8) at a distance away from that point, and which forms the lower support of a spring element in the region of its rear end (17, 18), opposite the front end (9, 10), on top of which the vehicle chassis rests. The axle body (8) and the two radius arms (6, 7) are formed jointly from two shaped part halves (2, 3) which are essentially single-piece and joined together, particularly by welding, along a joint (4) running in the essentially horizontal plane, for example, so that the axle body (8) rigidly joins together the two radius arms (6, 7). The axle body (8) is stiffened by at least one extra stiffening element (15, 16; 17; 18; 19, 20) at least in the junction regions of the axle body (8) with the two radius arms (6, 7).
Abstract:
A shaft bearing assembly for a brake assembly includes a cam shaft having a bearing section and a cam, a brake anchor plate having a bearing eye which receives the cam shaft at the bearing section, a slack adjuster assembly operably coupled to the cam shaft, and an elastic bearing element radially prestressed and operably coupled to the bearing section of the cam shaft in a torsion-elastic manner such that after a predetermined twist angle of the cam shaft is attained, the cam shaft slips through relative the bearing element during a braking action.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wheel hub arrangement (1) having at least one wheel hub (2) which is mounted rotatably via at least one wheel bearing (3) on a bearing journal (4) of an axle body (5) which is mounted on a vehicle chassis. Furthermore, the wheel hub arrangement (1) can have a brake system (6). The bearing journal (4) is assigned a display device for displaying critical temperature loading of the wheel bearing (3) and/or the brake system (6), wherein this display device has a display element which responds when critical temperature loading is exceeded.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a swivel bearing that is characterized by at least one elastic, radially prestressed bearing element (5), which closely encircles a rotation axis (14) completely or at least in areas, is inserted into a bearing opening (17) of a first bearing part (3, 10), preferably pressed therein, and which is axially tensioned against at least one face of a second bearing part (2, 10) by means of a screw connection (6) acting coaxial to the rotation axis (14). The invention also relates to a steering axle that is equipped with a swivel bearing of the aforementioned type.
Abstract:
Vertical elongate support (2) for supporting a parked vehicle trailer (1), consisting of a top prop tube (21), an inner prop member (22) which can telescopically slide into the prop tube (21), and a threaded spindle (3) for moving the inner prop member (22) in relation to the prop tube (21), whereby the threaded spindle (3) meshes with a threaded bearing (31) that is secured to the upper end of the inner prop member (22). The upper end of the threaded spindle (3) is connected to a crown wheel (32), the upward-facing surface of which is part of a thrust bearing (33) or is designed to accommodate a thrust bearing (33). The thrust bearing (33) supports the vehicle trailer (1), either directly or via a cover (23) that is connected to the prop tube (21).
