    摘要: A vibration damper for a chassis of a vehicle including a damper tube which is filled at least partially with damping liquid and in which a piston rod can be moved to and fro. A working piston is movable with the piston rod, by way of which working piston the interior space of the damper tube is divided into a piston rod-side working space and a working space which is remote from the piston rod. At least one additional attachment unit is connected to the damper tube in a fluid-tight manner by way of a throughflow element. The throughflow element is arranged on the damper tube in a direction which differs from the radial direction of the damper tube.

    摘要: A vibration damper with an adjustable damping force may comprise an inner cylinder having at least one working chamber, an outer cylinder that surrounds the inner cylinder, and at least one damping valve element that in terms of flow is connected via a flow connection to the working chamber. An adapter sleeve may guide the flow connection, with the adapter sleeve being inserted in the inner cylinder on an internal circumference of the inner cylinder. The flow connection may be guided into the damping valve element by way of a flow opening that is configured in a wall of the inner cylinder.

    摘要: A shock absorber having a shock absorber tube (10) is disclosed and has an external module tube (11) which is arranged retentively on the outside of the shock absorber tube (10) by a flange (12), wherein the flange (12) has one or more fluid ducts (13, 14) which fluidically couple the module tube (11) to the shock absorber tube (10). The flange (12) has a plastics body (15) in which the fluid ducts (13, 14) are formed, and the flange (12) furthermore has metallic connecting elements (16, 17) which extend between the shock absorber tube (10) and the module tube (11) and by which the mechanically retentive connection between the shock absorber tube (10) and the module tube (11) is formed.

    摘要: A shock absorber having a shock absorber tube (10) is disclosed and has an external module tube (11) which is connected to the shock absorber tube (10) via a flange (12), wherein the flange (12) has one or more fluid ducts (13, 14) which fluidly couple the module tube (11) to the shock absorber tube (10). The flange (12) has at least one metallic support cage (15) which forms a retentive connection between the shock absorber tube (10) and the module tube (11), and the flange (12) has a plastics body (16) in which the fluid duct (13, 14) for the fluidic coupling of the module tube (11) to the shock absorber tube (10) is formed.

    摘要: A flange for connecting a vibration damper tube to a module tube of a vibration damper may include one or more fluid ducts, by which the module tube is fluidically coupled to the vibration damper tube. The flange may further include a plastic body in which the fluid duct for the fluidic coupling is formed and wherein connection elements are provided that extend between the vibration damper tube and the module tube. The connection elements may form a retaining connection between the vibration damper tube and the module tube. The plastic body may comprise two opposite side walls, and the connection elements may be formed by metal plates arranged on the side walls. The plastic body may also comprise retaining means for the retaining of the plates.”

    摘要: A stilt part may be utilized for a suspension damper strut of the wheel suspension of a vehicle. The stilt part may comprise a shank portion extending along a longitudinal axis of the stilt part and a connecting portion adjoining an end of the shank portion. The connecting portion may be configured to connect a lower link of the wheel suspension. The shank portion may include a convex region that is bent away from the longitudinal axis. The convex region may provide clearance for a drive shaft of a wheel. The shank portion may be formed from at least two shell elements that are connected, in some cases welded, together along at least one longitudinal seam.

    摘要: A controllable vibration damper may include a cylinder tube with hydraulic fluid, a piston movable axially within the cylinder tube along an axis and that divides the cylinder tube into two working spaces, a piston rod parallel to the cylinder tube axis and connected at one end to the piston, fluid passages from one working space into another working space, a first valve subassembly on a first fluid passage for damping piston movement in a first direction, and a second valve subassembly on a second fluid passage for damping piston movement in a second direction. Each valve subassembly may include a valve disk seated on a valve seat in a closed position and spaced apart from the valve seat in an open position, as well as a pilot chamber containing an adjustable pressure that pushes the valve disk into the closed position. One of the pilot chambers may be delimited by a base, a cylindrical side wall fixed relative to the base and arranged coaxially with the cylinder tube axis, and a dimensionally stable cover that is held radially within the cylindrical side wall and can be moved parallel to the cylinder tube axis.
