Abstract
A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle includes a torsion bar and a vibration damper located on the torsion bar. The vibration damper is configured to vibrate relative to the torsion bar. The vibration damper includes two half-shells formed together about the torsion bar. Damper elements are disposed between the half-shells. The damper elements can be adjusted via an adjustment component to alter the rigidity of the damper elements.
Claims10
A roll stabilizer for a vehicle, comprising:
- a torsion bar;
- and
- a vibration damper located on the torsion bar, the vibration damper configured to vibrate relative to the torsion bar, the vibration damper including:
- first and second half-shell components forming an annular clamp about the torsion bar, wherein the first half-shell component ends in first planar end surfaces, and the second half-shell component ends in second planar end surfaces,
- first and second damper elements, each located between and directly contacting one of the first planar end surfaces and one of the second planar end surfaces, and
- an adjustment component configured to adjust a rigidity of the damper elements.
3 more elements
A vibration damper comprising:
- first and second half-shell components, wherein the first half-shell component ends in first planar end surfaces, and the second half-shell component ends in second planar end surfaces each facing respective first planar end surfaces,
- first and second damper elements, each located between and directly contacting one of the first planar end surfaces and the respective second planar end surface,
- an adjustment component configured to adjust a rigidity of the damper elements;
- and
- a retaining clamp between the first and second half-shell components, wherein the first and second damper elements are attached to the retaining clamp via an adhesive or via vulcanization.
2 more elements
A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a torsion bar;
- a vibration damper having a damper element configured to vibrate in relation to the torsion bar, wherein the damper element includes first and second of half-shell components collectively forming an annular clamp, wherein a first planar end surface for the first half-shell component faces a second planar end surface of the second half-shell component;
- and
- a damper spring functionally disposed between the torsion bar and the damper element, wherein the damper spring is located and clamped directly between the first and second planar end surfaces;
- wherein the damper spring is made of an elastomer component which is retained at a first side on the roll stabilizer, and on a second side on the damper element;
- and
- further wherein the elastomer component is plate-shaped and is attached at a longitudinal edge to a retention device, and is clamped between the half-shell components on both sides thereof, wherein there is an exposed spring section of the plate-shaped elastomer component disposed between the longitudinal edge and the clamping section.
