Abstract

A stabilizer system with a rotary actuator has a first stabilizer part which is non-rotationally connected to a rotary actuator vane assembly. A second stabilizer part is non-rotationally connected to a rotary actuator housing. The rotary actuator housing has hydraulic connections for hydraulic lines which form a flow connection to a hydraulic system, whereby the two stabilizer parts can be rotated with respect to one another by way of the rotary actuator. The segments of the hydraulic lines which are connected to the rotary actuator and are subject to possible deformation are located in a plane which lies essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary actuator. A line fastener can be optionally fastened to the rotary actuator housing or to the stabilizer part which is stationary relative to the rotary actuator housing. The line fastener divides the hydraulic lines, by way of a mounting, into a stationary line segment and a movable line segment, whereby the movable line segment is oriented in a plane which is essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary actuator.
