Telescopic axle for motor vehicle, has wedge shaped ball race clamped against wedge unit in direction of outer axle

摘要

The ball race is wedge-shaped on the side facing the inner axle. A clamping mechanism presses the race against a wedge unit in the axial and radial directions towards the outer axle. This pressure is released once the change in length of the axle exceeds a predetermined distance. Two or more rows of ball bearings are provided between the inner and outer axles.
