Abstract: A hydromount comprising a carrying mount and a support mount connected to each other by an elastomeric suspension spring. The hydromount includes a working chamber and a compensation chamber that are filled with a fluid and separated by a partition, and connected to each other via a damping channel inserted into the partition.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement including a sealing ring with a support ring extending substantially in a radial direction. The support ring is joined in the radial direction to a first sealing element that lies in contact with and is nonrotatable with respect to a first machine element to form a static seal.

Abstract: A vibration dampener adapts to different speeds of rotation. The device comprises a drive collar (1) and several inertial masses (2). The collar rotates around a central axis (3) and the inertial masses pivot around peripheral axes along the direction of rotation. Each inertial mass is secured to the collar by two bolts (5). The bolts, which extend parallel the central axis, are distributed around the circumference of the collar, and roll back and forth along arcs (6). The arcs are concave toward the central axis in the vicinity of the collar and concave in the opposite direction in the vicinity of the inertial masses. The bolts extend through a guide (7) toward the sides facing away from the associated arcs.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sealing ring. A support ring is provided, and at least one pasty, magnetizable material is applied onto a side of said support ring. The material is then hardened. First and second elastomeric sealing elements are vulcanized to the support ring, such that the ring is covered by the elastomeric material of said first sealing element. The magnetizable material is then magnetized. The magnetizable material may be a paste with at least two homogeneously distributed magnetic materials. At least two magnetic materials may be applied in succession onto said support ring; in that method, the second magnetic material is not applied until after a step of hardening the first magnetic material. After said step of hardening, the support ring may be deformed and punched out.

The cylindrical sleeve can be displaced out of the first axial position into a second axial position in which the sealing lip moves into direct contact with the machine element, and the cylindrical sleeve is at an axial distance from the conical surface.

Abstract: A pump drive apparatus comprises a housing (1) that accommodates a shaft (2) and a pump impeller (3). Both rotate around the same axis (4). The impeller rotates against the housing on at least one bearing (5). There is an eccentric journal (6) on the end of the shaft inside the impeller. The journal rotates in an orbital journal bearing (7). The orbital journal bearing moves in a circle within an eccentric bearing 14 on the impeller, driving the impeller. The orbital bearing tightly encloses the journal. A flexible component (9) prevents the orbital bearing from rotating in, and seals it off from, the housing.
