Axle adjustment for axles of utility vehicles

Axle adjustment for axles of utility vehicles, comprising:

• a frame unit;
• an eccentric element;
• and
• an adjustment unit;
• wherein the eccentric element has a first contour engaged by a select one of the frame unit and the adjustment unit;
• wherein the eccentric element has a second contour engaged by the other of the frame unit and the adjustment unit;
• wherein the first contour is arranged eccentric to the second contour;
• wherein the eccentric element is adapted to be friction-locked to a select one of the frame unit and the adjustment unit by a first fastening structure;
• wherein the frame unit and the adjustment unit are secured in a predeterminable position along an adjustment direction and supported pivotably relative to each other by setting a certain angle of twist of the eccentric element;
• wherein the center of the first contour is spaced apart from the center of the second contour by an eccentricity E;
• and
• wherein the first contour has a mean radius R1, and the second contour has a mean radius R2, and wherein the relationship of (R2−R1−E) to (R2) is in a range of about 0.1 to about 0.6.
