Publication number: 20240178733Abstract: A wheel side comprises: an electric motor that comprises a stator and a rotor; a drive shaft that is connected to the rotor for a common rotation about an input axis so that a drive power generated by the electric motor can be output to further components of the wheel side via the drive shaft; and a resolver for detecting the angular position of the rotor, wherein the resolver comprises a stationary part and a rotary part and the rotary part of the resolver is connected to the rotor of the electric motor for a common rotation about the input axis. In this respect, the resolver is formed separately from the electric motor. Provision is furthermore made that the wheel side has a form-fitting element that is arranged eccentrically with respect to the input axis and that engages in a form-fitting manner into a hole formed at the rotary part, on the one hand, and into a hole formed at the rotor, on the other hand, to ensure a defined angular position of the rotary part relative to the rotor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventor: Günter BITTLINGMAIER

Publication number: 20240066980Abstract: A wheel side comprises: an offset gear that has an input coaxial to an input axis for receiving drive power and an output coaxial to an output axis, which is offset with respect to the input axis, for outputting the drive power; a hub carrier; a wheel hub that is supported at the hub carrier by means of a wheel support; and a driven shaft that extends along the output axis through the hub carrier and that connects the offset gear to the wheel hub in order to transmit the drive power from the offset gear to the wheel hub. In this respect, provision is made that the wheel side has a first lubrication space, in which the offset gear is arranged, and a second lubrication space, in which the wheel support is arranged, with the first lubrication space and the second lubrication space being separate from one another and sealed with respect to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: Günter BITTLINGMAIER

Patent number: 11428302Abstract: An axle drive for a vehicle comprising at least one drivable vehicle axle comprises a drive shaft that extends along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, starting from a first side of the axle drive, to a second side of the axle drive and that is configured to receive drive power from an electric motor arranged at the first side and to output said drive power at the second side to a driven shaft that extends at the second side of the axle drive offset from the drive shaft and that is configured to output drive power to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear facing towards the first side. The axle drive further comprises a brake, in particular a parking brake, comprising a brake disk that is arranged at the second side of the axle drive, in a manner facing away from the first side, at the drive shaft or at the driven shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: KESSLER & CO. GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Günter Bittlingmaier

Patent number: 9579974Abstract: The wheel side of a drive axle with wheel member steering having a drop center rim, preferably made of steel, is provided on the wheel hub and is combined with a disc brake, which is axially inwardly offset relative to the wheel plane and which preferably has compressed an actuation. The necessary space for the disc brake arrangement is guaranteed by the sufficiently low diameter of the wheel hub in the region of the brake disc and by a comparatively large axial space for the brake system, which is created by an axially narrow design of the wheel hub transmission and a by a new design of the steering knuckle bearing and of the pertaining axle guard.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Gunter Bittlingmaier

Patent number: 9499015Abstract: A rotary feedthrough for a motor vehicle wheel having tire pressure regulation comprises a wheel carrier and a wheel hub rotatably supported on the wheel carrier. A compressed air annular space and at least one annular lubricant space, which are sealed with respect to one another, are configured in an intermediate space between the wheel carrier and the wheel hub. In this respect, the compressed air annular space communicates with a compressed air passage of the wheel carrier and with a compressed air passage of the wheel hub, wherein the compressed air passage of the wheel hub communicates with a controllable valve in order selectively to fill a tire of the motor vehicle wheel with compressed air or to deflate the tire.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Gunter Bittlingmaier
