  • Patent number: 11466789
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve housing, a piston, a support element, and a spring. The piston and the valve housing are arranged coaxially to each other on an imaginary valve axis. The piston is received in the valve housing in an axially movable manner against the spring force of the spring. The spring is supported on the support element and on the piston. The valve housing is provided with a first opening through which a fluid can flow and which can be closed by a piston base of the piston. The valve housing is provided with a second opening which can be at least partly closed by a piston casing of the piston and through which the fluid can flow. The piston casing extends outwards from the piston base in the axial direction of the support element and surrounds the valve axis.

  • Patent number: 9784392
    Abstract: A device for transferring fluids between two elements arranged concentrically within one another, wherein there is a sleeve-shaped hollow-cylindrical first component arranged between the two elements having at least one through-hole for the fluid, wherein the first component is made of steel and sits in a first element, wherein the first component is prevented from turning around a symmetry axis of the first component by at least one safety element engaging form-fittingly in the first element, wherein the first element is at least partially made of a material having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the steel material, characterized by the fact that between the first component and the first element, a second hollow-cylindrical component is arranged concentric to the first component and that the second component is secured from turning around the symmetry axis by a safety element on the first element and the first component.

  • Patent number: 8425123
    Abstract: A radial needle bearing unit for supporting a shaft, which has an outer sleeve with at least one radially inwardly directed rim, and a cage guiding hearing needles. For sealing purposes, a sealing element is disposed in an annular space delimited by the rim and the cage. The sealing element is an outwardly expanding sealing ring made of a polymer material resting radially outwardly against the inner lateral surface of the outer sleeve and radially inwardly against the lateral surface of the shaft, so that a radial/radial seal is formed. The outer sleeve has, at least in one peripheral location, a holding lug which is formed by stamping or cutting and protrudes the lateral surface of the outer sleeve in a spring-loaded manner.

  • Patent number: 8235597
    Abstract: A combined radial-axial rolling bearing for rotatably mounting a rotary body in the region of a diameter step. The rolling bearing has a radial bearing unit which is assigned to a circumferential surface of the rotary body and which at least has a radial bearing ring, and an axial bearing unit which is assigned to an axial surface of the rotary body and which at least has an axial bearing ring. To mount the rotary body radially in the region of the larger diameter, the radial bearing unit is assigned to a circumferential surface which has the larger diameter. The radially outer rim of the axial bearing ring is latched to a rim of the radial bearing ring which faces toward the radially outer rim, such that the two bearing rings form a structural unit which can be assembled in one work step, but otherwise remain functionally separate.

  • Publication number: 20100027928
    Abstract: A radial bearing (1) made from at least three assemblies (10, 20, 30). The first assembly (10) is a first needle bearing (11), the second assembly (20) is a radial sealing element (21), and the third assembly (30) is a second needle bearing (31). The radial sealing element (21) sits on an inner sleeve (22) that has rims (23) on the end (221) facing the first needle bearing (11) and on the end (222) facing the second needle bearing (31). The rim (23) has radially distributed holding elements (24), wherein each of the holding elements (24) and each counter-holding element (13) interact such that the inner sleeve (22) and the corresponding needle bearing (11, 31) can be connected to each other by a clip mechanism.
