底盘和制动器的加工解决方案
由于电池系统导致车辆重量增加,底盘和制动组件中铝的比例不断增加。因为铝确保了高稳定性和减轻的重量。与此同时,由于“线控转向”、“线控制动”以及自动驾驶等创新技术,这些组件不断得到进一步发展。此外,诸如一体化压铸或巨型铸造之类的新制造方法开辟了新的发展机会,例如更大的组件尺寸,使得车身的各个部分可以单件制造。
后轴上的轮架和前轴上的回转轴承负责支撑车轮,为汽车底盘结构中的重要部件,对于驾驶舒适性和安全性至关重要。它们用作轮毂、制动盘、制动钳和横向控制臂的装夹点。它们的设计根据车轴方案的不同而有所不同,以满足特定的车辆要求。这些部件必须能够承受高车轮负载,因此由坚固、耐腐蚀的材料制成,例如锻压铝材或球墨铸铁。其坚固的结构确保了车辆的性能和安全性,并有助于提高整体质量。

Wishbones are an essential component of independent wheel suspensions on passenger cars and are responsible for wheel guidance. They absorb the lateral forces between the wheel and the vehicle body. Depending on the axle concept, there are a variety of geometric solutions. Wishbones must be able to withstand high wheel loads and should be corrosion-resistant and high-strength. They play a central role in driving mechanics and make a significant contribution to safety and comfort.
Key Features:
The subframe is a load-bearing element of the vehicle body and serves as a pivot point for the wheel suspension. The engine and gearbox are also mounted on the front axle. Thanks to its design, the chassis frame facilitates assembly during vehicle production. It also contributes to increased driving comfort by minimizing vibration and noise while driving.
Key Features:
一体化压铸或巨型铸造等新制造技术正在彻底改变汽车行业。现在,复杂的支承结构部件不再是多个单独的零件,而是从一个铸件中制造。铝合金用于生产更大、更轻但更耐用的组件。这些工艺有望减轻未来的车辆重量,提高功率和安全性。
关键特征:
转向器通过转向横拉杆将转向轮的旋转运动传递至车辆的前轴。转向扭矩通过位于转向器外壳内的小齿轮和齿条传递。“线控转向”系统的趋势可以改善驾驶和转向特性。该技术还通过实现更直接、更精确的控制为自动驾驶奠定了基础。总体而言,转向器对车辆的转向能力和安全性起到核心作用。
关键特征:
The brake caliper is a safety-relevant component in the vehicle that is exposed to high thermal and mechanical loads. When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is fed to the brake caliper piston, which presses the brake pads against the disk. Depending on the vehicle type and engine, there are different designs and the number of pistons varies.
Key Features:
Aluminium
Cast iron
The combination of ABS/ESP housing and master brake cylinder enables brake actuation and control in the smallest of spaces. This unit is an indispensable element for Level 5 autonomous driving and brake-by-wire systems. It reduces the braking distance compared to older systems and enables greater recuperation in electric vehicles. The integration of these functions in one component significantly increases efficiency and safety in modern vehicle construction.
