LATERAL STABILIZATION ASSEMBLY

摘要

A lateral stabilization assembly includes a chassis and a stabilizer bar coupled to the chassis. The stabilizer bar includes a central bar portion extending along a bar axis. The lateral stabilization assembly also includes first and second bearings coupled to the chassis. The lateral stabilization assembly also includes a first and second flanges fixed to the central bar portion. The first flange and the second flange are configured to allow a transfer of lateral loads between the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the chassis through the first bearing, the stabilizer bar, and the second bearing.

主权项

1. A lateral stabilization assembly for a vehicle chassis, comprising:
a chassis having a first lateral side and a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side; a first bearing and a second bearing coupled to the chassis; a stabilizer bar engaging the first and second bearings, wherein the stabilizer bar includes a central bar portion extending along a bar axis; the first bearing and the second bearing being coupled to the chassis such that the first and second bearings remain stationary relative to the chassis and the stabilizer bar extends through the first bearing and the second bearing such that the first and bearings couple the stabilizer bar to the chassis while allowing the stabilizer bar to rotate relative to the chassis about the bar axis with the central bar portion disposed between the first bearing and the second bearing; wherein a first flange and a second flange fixed to the central bar portion, wherein the first flange is proximal to the first bearing and the second flange is proximal to the second bearing; and the first flange and the second flange are configured to transfer lateral loads between the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the chassis through the first bearing, the stabilizer bar, and the second bearing.
