Abstract
A front axle of a motor vehicle with steerable, driven or not driven wheels on steering knuckles, which have been pivotably hinged at a wheel-guiding element with an upper and a lower bearing position, each of which with a pot-shaped sleeve with a sealed lubricant reservoir, accommodating a radial bearing for mounting a steering knuckle bolt and forming a bearing bushing, a stop disk, which absorbs axial forces and at which the roll bodies of the radial bearing are supported with the supporting surfaces, being disposed at the bottom of the sleeve.
Claims21
A front axle of a motor vehicle with steerable, driven or not driven wheels on steering knuckles, which have been pivotably hinged at a wheel-guiding element with an upper and a lower bearing position, each of which with a pot-shaped sleeve with a sealed lubricant reservoir, accommodating a radial bearing for mounting a steering knuckle bolt and forming a bearing bushing, wherein a stop disk (3) which absorbs axial forces and at which the roll bodies (7) of the radial bearing are supported with the supporting surfaces (8), are disposed at the bottom of the sleeve (2).
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein the lubricant reservoir (27) can be filled with grease or oil.
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein a preferably pre-stressed disk spring (12) is placed on supporting surfaces (11) of the roll body (7).
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein the bushing (1) has a sealing unit, which seals the mounting.
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein the axle is maintenance-free.
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein the radial bearing is constructed in one or two rows.
The front axle of one of the preceding claims, wherein the upper and lower bearing sites (34, 35) are identical.
The bearing bushing for a steering knuckle mounting with a pot-shaped sleeve, accommodating a radial bearing and with a sealed lubricant reservoir, wherein, at the bottom of the sleeve (2), a stop disk (3) is disposed, which absorbs axial forces and at which the roll bodies (7) of the radial bearing are supported with their supporting surfaces (8).
