Abstract: The fastening element connects two parts in a chassis of a vehicle. The fastening element has a central axle on which two opposing paired support elements of damping material are arranged at an axial distance from one another. In order to achieve an improved performance at least one of the support elements is composed of two different components and/or of different material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising at least a first (1) and a second (2) machine part, wherein the machine parts (1, 2) are movable, especially pivotable, relatively to another, wherein a sealing boot (3) is arranged for sealing the first machine part (1) against the second machine part (2), wherein the sealing boot (3) has a first ring groove (4), in which a first spring element (5) is inserted, by which spring element (5) the sealing boot (3) is pressed against the first machine part (1) in the region of the first ring groove (4), and/or wherein the sealing boot (3) has a second ring groove (6), in which a second spring element (7) is inserted, by which spring element (7) the sealing boot (3) is pressed against the second machine part (2) in the region of the second ring groove (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening element (1), in particular for connecting two parts (2, 3) in a chassis, which fastening element has a central axle (4) on which at least two support elements (5, 6, 7, 8) of damping material are arranged at an axial distance from one another. In order to achieve an improved performance of the vehicle which has the chassis, the invention provides that at least one of the support elements (5, 6, 7, 8) is composed of at least two different components (9, 10) and/or of different materials.

Abstract: A joint assembly comprising a seal provided with a first retaining surface and a second retaining surface, a ball stud provided with a ball portion and a socket, wherein the socket is provided with a seal acceptor and a ball cooperating surface, wherein the ball portion of the ball stud is within the ball cooperating surface and a portion of the seal is within the seal acceptor, and a first and a second constricting element, wherein the first constricting element is held in place by the first retaining surface on the seal and the second constricting element is held in place by the second retaining surface on the seal.

Abstract: A transport and assembly device for assembling a shaft seal, particularly one with a seal lip directed radially toward the inside, into a camshaft arrangement for an internal combustion engine is designed to simplify the assembly of the shaft seal. The device includes a first intake area for the shaft seal, a second intake area for a signal generator wheel, and an installation area for installation onto the camshaft arrangement during assembly.

Abstract: A mounting unit for a sensor system includes a sensor wheel adapted to be mounted on a shaft, a sensor device adapted to be disposed on a sealing flange which seals the shaft, and a removable calibration aid fixing the sensor device in a precalibrated position on the sensor wheel. A process for mounting a sensor system involves aligning a sensor wheel and a sensor device in an aligned position relative to one another in a precalibration process, bringing together the sensor wheel and the sensor device in the aligned position with a calibration aid to form a mounting unit, positioning the mounting unit in a precise position on a shaft, fastening the sensor device to a sealing flange, and removing the calibration aid from the sensor wheel and the sensor device. The sealing flange can also be added to form a part of the mounting unit.
