  • Publication number: 20200300161
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a housing and a stator. The housing and/or the stator has an inner and an outer housing component. An inner section of the housing component lies directly against and covers a lateral section of the housing component. The lateral section and the inner section are formed such that they form a positive-locking connection, which fixes the inner housing component and the outer housing component against positional change along a longitudinal axis of the turbocharger and/or against a rotation about this longitudinal axis. The inner housing component and/or the outer housing component is at least partly produced by additive manufacturing.

  • Patent number: 10605306
    Abstract: A turbocharger, with a turbine a turbine housing and a turbine rotor, with a compressor with a compressor housing and a compressor rotor that is coupled to the turbine rotor via a shaft, with a bearing housing arranged between the turbine housing and the compressor housing, wherein both the turbine housing and also the compressor housing are connected to the bearing housing, with at least one bearing, via which the shaft is mounted in the bearing housing, wherein the respective bearing comprises a bearing bush arranged in the bearing housing, wherein between the bearing bush and the bearing housing a radially outer lubricating gap and between the bearing bush and the shaft a radially inner lubricating gap are formed, wherein the radially outer lubricating gap and the radially inner lubricating gap are suppliable with lubricating oil emanating from an oil supply main line independently of one another.

  • Patent number: 10598043
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a turbine with a turbine rotor, a compressor with a compressor rotor that is coupled to the turbine rotor via a shaft. A bearing housing arranged between the turbine housing and the compressor housing, wherein both the turbine housing and also the compressor housing are connected to the bearing housing, with at least one bearing, via which the shaft is mounted in the bearing housing, wherein the respective bearing includes a bearing bush that is mounted on the bearing housing in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein between the bearing bush and the bearing housing a radially outer lubricating cap and between the bearing bush and the shaft a radially inner lubricating gap is formed, and wherein axial ends of the respective bearing bush, at a radially outer section of the same have a greater axial extent than on a radially inner section of the same.

  • Publication number: 20090050006
    Abstract: A transfer plate, particularly a blanket plate, for a transfer cylinder, with a plate-like support, where a blanket being used for ink transfer is applied to a first side of the plate-like support, and where a film is applied to a second side of the plate-like support that is opposite from the first side, via which film a packing height of the transfer plate on a transfer cylinder can be predetermined. The film is applied to the second side of the plate-like support in such a way that a surface of the support covered by the film on the second side is smaller than a surface of the support covered by the blanket on the first side.
