Stabilizer for vehicle and wheel suspension with same

Abstract

The wheel suspension has two wheel carriers (5) for rotatably supporting each wheel (6) of a vehicle and a stabilizer (1), which has an undivided torsion bar (2) and angled lever arms (3). A torque tube (11) is arranged coaxial to the torsion bar. A centrally arranged connecting portion (12) is rotatably connected to the torsion bar corresponding to its longitudinal extent and for rotatably connecting to a vehicle body (8) at the free ends of the bearings (13). The free ends of the angled lever arms are connected with the wheel carrier by connecting joints (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a stabilizer for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, and a wheel suspension with the stabilizer. Background technique [0002] A motor vehicle in road traffic has a tendency to roll about its roll or longitudinal axis, pitch about its transverse axis, and yaw about its vertical axis. Rolling and pitching motions are generally unwanted and are caused by loads acting on the motor vehicle from the outside. Such loads occur, for example, at bends in uneven road sections, on uneven terrain or with side wind loads and during braking and acceleration. [0003] In order to prevent or reduce rolling movements, it is known in principle to connect each axle of a motor vehicle with a stabilizer operating according to the torsion bar principle. Such a stabilizer essentially comprises a torsion bar aligned perpendicular to the direction of travel and two lever arms adjoining the sides of the torsion bar and extending substantially in...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, stabilizers do not prevent or reduce pitching motion about the transverse axis of the motor vehicle, i.e. the parallel load of both wheels of the same vehicle axle
