US 11,358,198 B2 · Method for producing spring strut forks

Abstract

An efficient method for producing spring strut forks for motor vehicles is presented. In each case two spring strut forks are produced from a metallic extruded profile as a starting product. The extruded profile has a central, middle main chamber and four longitudinal chambers which are arranged offset with respect to one another over the circumference of the main chamber. Wall portions of the main chamber which are situated between the longitudinal chambers are removed, and the extruded profile is severed into two semifinished parts. Each semifinished part has one cylinder portion and two oppositely situated arm portions which project relative to the cylinder portions. The semifinished parts are subsequently mechanically machined, and one spring strut fork is produced from each semifinished part.

Method for producing spring strut forks for motor vehicles, wherein a spring strut fork has a spring strut receptacle and fork arms and is produced from a metallic extruded profile which has a central, middle main chamber and longitudinal chambers on an outside of the extruded profile, the method comprising:

providing an extruded profile having at least four longitudinal chambers which are arranged offset with respect to one another over the circumference of the main chamber;
removing wall portions of the main chamber which are situated between the longitudinal chambers, and severing the extruded profile into two semifinished parts which have in each case one cylinder portion and two oppositely situated arm portions which project relative to the cylinder portion;
and
mechanically machining the semifinished parts to form in each case one spring strut fork.
