Control arm arrangement for individual wheel suspension of unsteered axles, preferably for vehicle trailers

摘要

The invention relates to a control arm arrangement for individual wheel suspension of unsteered axles, preferably for vehicle trailers with a pivotable transverse control arm provided with a wheel carrier and capable of swivelling via the flexible control arm bearings about an essentially horizontal axis. The aim is to produce a simple design solution, which when cornering deflects the control arms in the direction of the curve with the same steering angle ( beta ). This meets the object of increasing the travelling stability and preventing the risk of swerving. The object is achieved according to the invention in that the rear control arm bearings lying opposite one another on an axle are firmly connected to the vehicle frame, the bearing bushes permitting axle tilting, whilst the front control arm bearings are rigidly connected to one another by way of tension/compression elements but elastically supported in relation to the frame, the elastic profiles being designed to be soft in an axial direction and hard in a radial direction. <IMAGE>
