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。
关键特征:
铝
铸铁
横向控制臂是汽车独立悬吊系统的重要组成部分,负责车轮的悬掛系统。它们吸收车轮和 车身之间的侧向力。根据具体的轴方案,有多种几何解决方案。横向控制臂必须承受高车 轮负载,应该是耐腐蚀且具有高强度。它们在驾驶机械中发挥核心作用,并对安全性和舒 适性做出了重大贡献。
关键特征:
发动机支架是车身的承载元件,并充当悬掛系统的枢轴点。电机和变速器也安装在前轴上。发动机支架的设计使得车辆生产过程中的组装更加容易。它还可以最大限度地减少驾驶时的振动和噪音,从而提高驾驶舒适度。
关键特征:
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:
The steering gear transmits the rotary movement of the steering wheel to the front axle of the vehicle via the tie rod. The steering torque is transmitted by means of a pinion and rack, which are located in the steering housing. The trend towards steer-by-wire systems enables improved driving and steering characteristics. This technology also lays the foundation for autonomous driving by enabling more direct and precise steering. Overall, the steering gear plays a central role in the steering capability and safety of the vehicle.
Key Features:
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.
