Abstract
A chassis system for commercial vehicles includes an axle stub element and a linkage element, wherein the linkage element has a recess and the axle stub element has a first mounting section, wherein the first mounting section is arranged in the recess of the linkage element and is force-locked at the recess due to a shaping process, and wherein an adhesive layer, via which a material band is formed between the first mounting section of the axle stub element and the recess of the linkage element, is provided between the first mounting section and the recess.
Claims24
A chassis system for commercial vehicles, comprising:
- an axle stub element, wherein the axle stub element comprises a hollow body;
- and
- a linkage element;
- wherein the linkage element includes a recess and the axle stub element includes a first mounting section;
- wherein the first mounting section is arranged in the recess of the linkage element and is force-fitted to the recess by a high-pressure deformation process;
- wherein an adhesive layer is provided between the first mounting section and the recess, and a material bond is formed between the first mounting section of the axle stub element and the recess of the linkage element;
- and
- wherein an axle tube element is fixed at the linkage element to increase a stability of the chassis system.
A chassis system for commercial vehicles, comprising:
- an axle stub element, wherein the axle stub element comprises a hollow body;
- and
- a linkage element;
- wherein the linkage element includes a recess and the axle stub element includes a first mounting section;
- wherein the first mounting section of the axle stub element includes an adhesive layer and is insertable into the recess of the linkage element at a first state;
- wherein the first mounting section is formed by a high-pressure deformation process such that the first mounting section and the recess are force-fit connected at a second state;
- wherein, in the second state, the first mounting section and the recess are material bonded by the adhesive layer;
- and
- wherein an axle tube element is provided that is fixed to the linkage element to increase a stability of the chassis system.
A method of manufacturing a chassis system for commercial vehicles, comprising:
- providing an axle stub element and a linkage element, wherein the axle stub element includes a first mounting section, and wherein the linkage element includes a recess in which the first mounting section is insertable;
- applying an adhesive layer onto the first mounting section of the axle stub element;
- inserting the first mounting section into the recess of the linkage element;
- transforming the first mounting section to provide a force-locked connection between the first mounting section and the recess and to provide a material bond of the first mounting section, the adhesive layer and the recess of the linkage element;
- and
- fixing an axle tube element over the first mounting section in the recess of the linkage element.
