Bearing element for a motor vehicle stabilizer
A bearing element for a motor-vehicle stabilizer, in particular of a vehicle suspension and shock-absorbing system. The bearing element includes two half shells, each of which comprises an inner shell and an outer shell that are connected to one another via an elastic intermediate layer disposed between the respective inner shell and the corresponding outer shell permits a twisting of the inner shell with respect to the outer shells and simultaneously reduces vibration transmission.
1 . Bearing element for a motor vehicle stabilizer such as is used in a suspension and shock-absorbing system, comprising two half shells, each of which half shell comprises an inner shell and an outer shell operatively connected via an elastic intermediate layer disposed therebetween.
2 . Bearing element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner shells in a mounted state are connected in at least one of form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the stabilizer and the outer shells in the mounted state are connected in at least one of a form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the motor vehicle.
3 . Bearing element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the elastic intermediate layer is plastic or rubber, the elastic intermediate layer is one of vulcanized, glued, welded, and sprayed onto the respective outer shell on one side and the respective inner shell on the other side, and at least one of the inner shells and the outer shells are aluminum.
4 . Bearing element according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the inner shells in a mounted state are connected in at least one of form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the stabilizer and the outer shells in the mounted state are connected in at least one of a form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the motor vehicle.
5 . Bearing element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of each of the inner shells comprises a recess open towards the stabilizer, said recess being formed so as to be complementary to a collar disposed, to project out on the stabilizer and the recesses in a mounted state form an inner polygon, and the collar is formed as an outer polygon complementary to the inner polygon.
6 . Bearing element according to claim 5 , wherein the recesses and collar have complementary hexagonal shapes, said recesses formed as inner hexagons and outer hexagons and said collar being an outer hexagon.
7 . Bearing element according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the elastic intermediate layer extends only partially over an axial extension of the bearing element, the recess open towards the stabilizer is disposed on the respective inner shell so as to be adjacent, in an axial direction thereof, to the intermediate layer, and the respective outer shell has essentially the same axial extension as the corresponding elastic intermediate layer.
8 . Bearing element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a clamping element encloses the two inner shells of the bearing element and is configured to clamp the two inner shells against the stabilizer, the respective inner shells comprise, on the outside in the area of the recess open towards the stabilizer, a groove, the clamping element is disposed on the respective inner shell on the outside in the area of the recess open towards the stabilizer, or in the groove, and the clamping element is a clip.
9 . Bearing element according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the inner shells in a mounted state are connected in at least one of form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the stabilizer and the outer shells in the mounted state are connected in at least one of a form-lockingly and force-lockingly to the motor vehicle.
10 . Bearing element according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of the elastic intermediate layer is plastic or rubber, the elastic intermediate layer is one of vulcanized, glued, welded, and sprayed onto the respective outer shell on one side and the respective inner shell on the other side, and at least one of the inner shells and the outer shells are aluminum.
11 . Bearing element according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of each of the inner shells comprises a recess open towards the stabilizer, said recess being formed so as to be complementary to a collar disposed, to project out on the stabilizer and the recesses in a mounted state form an inner polygon, and the collar is formed as an outer polygon complementary to the inner polygon.
12 . Bearing element according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the elastic intermediate layer extends only partially over an axial extension of the bearing element, the recess open towards the stabilizer is disposed on the respective inner shell so as to be adjacent, in an axial direction thereof, to the intermediate layer, and the respective outer shell has essentially the same axial extension as the corresponding elastic intermediate layer.
