Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical steering and drive system for a vehicle with wheel-based steering with at least two electrically driven axles, a mechanical coupling between the drive sides being provided on at least one driven axle in order to transmit power from one drive side to the other, and a purely electrical transmission of drive power being provided on the other driven axles.

Abstract: A marine vessel propulsion assembly has an elastically suspended gearbox with an output drive shaft guided in an axial bearing with a rigidly suspended bearing housing. Free space is provided in the axial bearing for allowing movement of the output drive shaft in the radial direction, wherein the output drive shaft is freely movable radially within the free space. A supporting ring with sliding elements for axial guidance of the output drive shaft is arranged in the axial bearing. The supporting ring is hydraulically supported by a large number of pistons so that the supporting ring can match itself to angular displacements of the output drive shaft and can always completely and uniformly support the sliding elements on the bearing circumference.

Abstract: A device for simulating slip on vehicle test benches wherein a vehicle wheel which rolls on a movable testing surface of a test device such as a test roller or flat belt and performs the object of changing the frictional force between the wheel and the testing surface without necessarily having to change the coefficient of friction, A lifting/lowering device changes the contact force FA of the wheel in a predeterminable way from the tire to an apparatus as the wheel rotates.

Abstract: A control unit has a signal input from at least one sensor and a signal output for electrically actuating at least one valve in order to hydraulically activate a gear-changing element. An emergency gear change slide can switch off the electrical actuation of the valves so that hydraulic modulation can be carried out.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant electromechanical actuating device for converting an electrical actuating signal into a mechanical output actuating value for use in vehicles, having two mutually independent control loops. Each loop has at least one controller and at least one electric motor which is driven by this controller and which, in each case via a self-locking transmission, drives the input to a summing transmission, which superimposes the actuating values of the actuating motors to form the output actuating value. The fault tolerance or reliability of the actuating device is ensured by a comparator controller, which monitors the functions of the other controllers. Interfaces between the controllers and between the subsystems ensure stringent isolation of electrical potential.

Abstract: A generator drive for matching the rotation speed of a gas turbine to an electricity generator, The drive from the gas turbine is introduced by a sun wheel into planet gears of a first epicyclic gear stage and is driven via further planet gears of a second epicylic gear stage, which are each arranged on a common planet gear shaft with the planet gears of the first gear stage, by an annular gear to the generator. The planet gear shafts are mounted in bushes which can each be inserted complete with the planet gears into openings on a supporting wall of the drive. With respect to their distances from the bearing, the planet gears are arranged on the planet gear shaft such that the moments which result from the circumferential forces about the bearing essentially cancel one another out.

Abstract: A drive system includes a drive shaft with first and second shaft sections connected by a diaphragm clutch having a diaphragm assembly. The radially outer end of the diaphragm assembly is connected to a disk having a first toothing arranged on one face of the disk. The first toothing engages in corresponding second toothing on a flange connected to the first shaft section when the diaphragm assembly is subjected to an axial preload. A contact-pressure device that is controllable by remote control in the stationary condition acts against the disk to produce the preload.

Abstract: A compact drive which has a high transmission ratio for driving generators by wind force and permits simple assembly and maintenance. The gearing is a slip-on gearing having a multi-stage epicyclic gearing arrangement and a spur-gear stage for the drive output to a generator. The force is introduced into the epicyclic gearing arrangement via a ring gear, which drives planet gears, on whose shafts fixed to the housing in each case further planet gears are arranged. The planet gears mesh with a sun gear, from which the drive output to the spur-gear stage is effected.
