McPherson strut unit with height-adjustable spring plate has cylinder chamber filled with formable material in contact with a sleeve section, to transmit support force from cylinder to spring plate

摘要

The strut unit has a cylinder and an adjustable spring plate with sleeve section for connection to the cylinder. A chamber (13) on the cylinder side is at least partially filled with a formable material. The sleeve section is in contact with the material, which when solid transmits a support force from the cylinder (1) to the spring plate (3). The chamber has at least one insulation sleeve (16) of plastic, which is positioned with a radial guide face (18) on the sleeve section (15) of the spring plate. The chamber is formed by a support ring (5), fastened to the cylinder, with sleeve (11) and base (9), and a connection aperture (17) for the formable material.
