Axle for vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles

1. An axle for a vehicle, comprising:

an axle body;

at least one of (a) an axle guidance device and (b) an axle support device; and

an arrangement located on both sides of an axle transverse mid-plane, the arrangement including mounting parts connected releasably to the axle body and a stop corresponding positionally to at least one of (a) the axle guidance device and (b) the axle support device and offset to a fastening plane of the mounting parts;

wherein each of the mounting parts is arranged with respect to the axle body such that the mounting parts can be selectively mounted with the offset of the stop in either one of: a direction towards the axle transverse mid-plane, or a direction away from the axle transverse mid-plane, with the stop arrangeable at different distances from the axle transverse mid-plane.

2. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include a flanged plate.

3. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include flanged plates configured to be braced against the axle body.

4. The axle according to claim 3 , wherein the flanged plates are braced against the axle body by screw connectors that define the fastening plane.

5. The axle according to claim 4 , wherein axes of the screw connections define a respective fastening plane.

6. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include flanged plates fastenable in positions in relation to the axle body offset at 180° to one another in relation to the fastening plane.

7. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include flanged plates located opposite one another with respect to the axle transverse mid-plane with maintained alignment with the axle body transposable between mutually opposite axle sides of the axle body so that, starting from a position of a respective stop between the fastening plane and the axle transverse mid-plane on one axle side, a position of the stop on a side of the fastening plane remote from the axle transverse mid-plane is obtained on another axle side.

8. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include a flanged plate, the flanged plate including a stop surface configured to limit a spring excursion of the axle body relative to a body.

9. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include a flanged plate, the flanged plate configured as a clamping part for the at least one of (a) the axle-support device and (b) the axle-guidance device.

10. The axle according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one of (a) the axle-support device and (b) the axle-guidance device includes a leaf spring.

11. The axle according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one of (a) the axle-support device and (b) the axle-guidance device includes a spring carrier.

12. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include a first flanged plate that forms the stop, the axle further comprising opposite the first flanged plate a second flanged plate connected unreleasably to the axle body, the second flanged plate arranged as a clamping partner of the first flanged plate to the axle body.

13. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting parts include a first flanged plate including the stop, the axle further comprising opposite the first flanged plate a second flanged plate connected releasably to the axle body, the second flanged plate arranged as a clamping partner of the first flanged plate to the axle body.

14. The axle according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening plane is defined by a screw connection between flanged plates and forms a plane of symmetry of a fastening screw connection of one of an axle guide and an axle support to the axle body.

15. The axle according to claim 14 , wherein reciprocal screw connections start from opposite sides of the axle body.

16. The axle according to claim 15 , wherein screw elements of the screw connections include screw bolts.

17. The axle according to claim 16 , wherein the screw bolts of the one of the axle-support and axle-guidance fastening screw connection arranged on an underside in relation to the axle body are screwed into blind-hole bores of an associated flanged plate.

18. The axle according to claim 2 , wherein the flanged plate is connected to the axle body in an integral manner.

19. The axle according to claim 2 , wherein the flanged plate is welded to the axle body.

20. The axle according to claim 2 , wherein the flanged plate is configured to perform at least one of a longitudinally and rotationally secure form-fitting fixing of the mounting parts in relation to a longitudinal center line of the axle body.
