STEERING KNUCKLE COMPRISING FIBRE REINFORCEMENT

摘要

The present invention resides in a steering knuckle (100) comprising a bearing connection point (110) for connecting a bearing to the knuckle and comprising a further connection (130, 140) point for connecting the knuckle to a further component. The bearing connection point is formed by a first insert (110) and the further connection point is formed by a second insert (130, 140), which are joined via a composite body (120) comprising a fibre-reinforced material that is overmoulded to the first and second inserts. The bearing connection point and the further connection point are additionally joined by one or more continuous fibre tows that are wound around part of a radially outer surface of the first insert and of the second insert.
