Patent number: 9322434Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing arrangement, in particular for sensor arrangements, comprising a first bearing part and a second bearing part, which are designed and arranged so as to be movable relative to each other and which touch each other at least partially in the course of said relative motion. The first bearing part is guided on at least one first running surface of the second bearing part, and the first running surface of the second bearing part has a recess, in which at least one ridge is formed, wherein the arrangement of the ridge in the recess does not influence the relative motion between the first bearing part and the second bearing part.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Manfred Goll, Thomas Krohn, Hilmar Müller

Patent number: 8032283Abstract: An angle measuring device for measuring an absolute angular position is described herein. The angle measuring device comprises a flexible pulling element guided directly or indirectly via a shaft whose angle of rotation (?) is to be detected, with different circumferential speeds (v1, v2) developing at the inner circumference of the flexible pulling element during a rotational movement of the shaft. A change in position of the flexible pulling element relative to the rotational movement occurs, and the angle of rotation (?) of the shaft is inferred from this change in position.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2006Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Hilmar Müller, Manfred Goll

Patent number: 7504160Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a sliding body made up of a base body and a slide plate with a running surface arranged on the base body, wherein the slide plate and the base body are joined to one another by capacitor discharge welding. It is preferable for sliding bodies of this type to be used as a sliding shoe for hydrostatic piston engines. The running surface of the slide plate is made of a nonferrous-metal sliding bearing material produced by spray-compacting and, in particular, is made of a copper-tin-titanium alloy produced by spray-compacting and contains 13.5 to 20% by weight of tin, 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of titanium, remainder copper and optionally one or more of the elements selected from silicon, chromium and zirconium up to a total amount of 1.0% by weight, plus inevitable impurities.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Wieland-Werke AGInventors: Hilmar Mueller, Klaus Ohla, Michael Scharf
