Abstract: A transmission device (5) for an electrically drivable vehicle axle (1) includes a transmission input shaft (7), a transmission output shaft (10) connected thereto via gear-wheel pairs (8, 9), and a parking lock device (15). The parking lock device (15) is arranged in a transmission housing (11) and includes an electric actuator (16) for actuating a locking pawl (18) engageable with a parking interlock gear (19) operatively connected to the transmission output shaft (10). The locking pawl and the parking interlock gear (19) are arranged in an interior space (14) of the transmission housing (11) that is acted upon by oil, and the electric actuator (16) is arranged in an oil-free interior space (13) of the transmission housing (11). The output shaft (21) of the electric actuator (16) extends through an intermediate wall (12) and is operatively connected to the locking pawl.

Abstract: An assembly for absorbing energy in an overload event has an energy absorber for reducing the load on an object being transported on a loading unit. The energy absorber, in the case of a one-off overload event with an energy input that is sufficiently high that damage to the object would be possible or highly likely in the absence of the energy absorber, to absorb energy in order to reduce the load on the object. Measured values relating to the current state of the loading unit are periodically acquired by a sensor device. A control device identifies an overload event from the acquired measured values. A weight of the object to be transported and a limit value for a load on the object are determined. Following identification of the overload event, damping by the energy absorber is controlled to keep the load on the object below the limit value.

Abstract: The protection system is used especially for the protection against a fatal effect of vertical accelerations triggered by a landmine on the passengers of an armored vehicle. For this, the sitting unit consisting of a seat body (7) and a backrest (8) is held movable in vertical direction and is coupled with an end area (15) of a longitudinally variable damping device (11), whose other end (13) is connected to the roof (4) of the vehicle (2) through a carrying equipment (6). In addition, the sitting unit is carried with vertical distance from the vertical guide (18) in a lower guide path (19) transversally directed so that the sitting unit executes both a downward as well as a tilting movement relative to the vehicle together with a passenger (3) during loading through vertical acceleration. In this way, an improved usage of the constructively limited effective length of the damping device (11) occurs so that the effect of the protection system is essentially improved.

Abstract: A device for float mounting a sealed housing around a rotating, deflecting shaft. A sealed housing is connected to a static part in such a way that it can yield radially as well as rotate around a shaft axis at least to a small extent.
