Abstract

A chassis system for a motor vehicle has a device for roll stabilization and a device for wheel camber adjustment. The device for roll stabilization and the device for wheel camber adjustment have one or more hydraulic actuating devices. The device for roll stabilization and the device for wheel camber adjustment are coupled to one another by a common hydraulic system. Accordingly, a link is provided between the roll stabilization arrangement and the camber adjustment arrangement in the motor vehicle. An active camber adjustment arrangement is realized by using the hydraulic power supply and the valves of the roll stabilization arrangement.

Claims (13)

1. A chassis system for a motor vehicle, the chassis system comprising:

a device for roll stabilization;

a device for wheel camber adjustment, said device for roll stabilization and said device for wheel camber adjustment each have at least one hydraulic actuating device;

a common hydraulic system coupling said device for roll stabilization to said device for wheel camber adjustment; and

a stabilizer, said at least one hydraulic actuating device of said device for roll stabilization is coupled to said stabilizer.

2. The chassis system according to claim 1 , wherein said hydraulic actuating device of said device for roll stabilization is a pivoting actuating device for said stabilizer.

3. The chassis system according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one hydraulic actuating device for said device for wheel camber adjustment has one hydraulic cylinder per wheel and is a linear actuating device.

4. The chassis system according to claim 1 ,

wherein said common hydraulic system has a pressure supply device and lines connected to said at least one hydraulic actuating device of said device for roll stabilization and of said device for wheel camber adjustment; and

further comprising at least one valve device disposed between said pressure supply device and said at least one hydraulic actuating device.

5. The chassis system according to claim 4 , wherein said pressure supply device is configured such that a nominal pressure in said common hydraulic system is set in dependence on a vehicle state, wherein at least one signal is used to determine the vehicle state selected from the group consisting of lateral acceleration, steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, and roll angle.

6. The chassis system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one device for adapting at least one of a hydraulic pressure and a hydraulic flow for said device for wheel camber adjustment.

7. The chassis system according to claim 1 , wherein the chassis system is configured for at least one vehicle axle.
