Example Embodiment

[0031] in figure 1 Here, the suspension stopper 10 constituting the upper part of the suspension strut is represented, which is located at the interface between the suspension strut and the vehicle upper structure (actually a member of the vehicle body or the vehicle chassis). The suspension stopper 10 includes a roller bearing 12 composed of an upper washer 14 and a lower washer 16. The upper washer 14 and the lower washer 16 respectively form a higher raceway 141 and a lower raceway 161, and a rolling element composed of balls 18 rolls on the higher race 141 and the lower race 161. The support 20 is interposed between the lower washer 16 and the upper winding portion of the coil spring 22 of the suspension strut. Alternatively, a ring 24 made of an elastic material may be placed between the support and the coil spring.

[0032] The interface for fixing the suspension stopper to the vehicle upper structure (in this example, the vehicle body) is constituted by a metal plate 26 p...

Abstract

The stop has a bearing (12) comprising an upper washer (14) and a lower washer (16) defining a rolling path on which rolling bodies (18) are rolled, where the lower washer integrates a support interface against an upper end of a helical spring (22). A rigid fixing element (26) fixes a MacPherson strut to a superstructure of a vehicle. An impact stop (30) comprises an annular strip (36) placed in an annular volume (38) delimited axially by a lower bearing (40) integrated to the upper washer and an upper bearing integrated to a rigid element. An independent claim is also included for a MacPherson strut comprising a telescopic shock absorber.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a suspension stop (suspension stop) for a Macpherson strut including a telescoping damper and a coil spring, and more particularly to a suspension stop comprising a Suspension stoppers for roller bearings between the coil springs and the vehicle superstructure, and deformable bumpers that act as damping bumpers for the retracted end of the telescoping damper travel. The invention also relates to a suspension strut comprising such a suspension stop. Background technique [0002] The bumper can be fixed to the lower washer of the roller bearing or to a member fixed relative to this washer, as described, for example, in documents FR 2 859 513 or FR 2 779 096 . In this case, the relatively high forces exerted by the damper cylinder on the damper block are transmitted to the body via the bearing, which is not advantageous here. [0003] It is also possible to fix the bumper to the upper gasket or to a rigid or non-rigid co...
