Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a single-wall torsion beam for a torsion beam axle according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique
[0002] EP 2 098 391 B1 discloses a torsion beam axle and a method for manufacturing a torsion beam axle in which the torsion beam of the generic type has a cross-section that varies over its length and an omega-shaped center and end part, the cross-section of the Ω-shaped center part is open and has an undercut, the cross-section of the end part is U-shaped and the end part is on the longitudinal tie rod side. Closing plates are inserted into the ends to form closed cross-sections in each section. This end serves as the connection interface with respect to the longitudinal tie rods of the torsion beam axle. Such torsion beams are complex to manufacture and can have partially unfavorable tension peaks when loaded according to regulations.
