  • Publication number: 20130315717
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the angle of vanes of an outlet vane device of a compressor and to a method of assembling such a device is provided. The device includes multiple angularly adjustable vanes, each of which is mounted on a shaft in a housing. Each shaft has a lever which is guided using a slotted guide arranged on an adjusting ring such that the angular adjustment of the outlet vane device is coupled to an inlet vane device of the compressor, the vanes are first mounted onto the respective shaft, rollers are mounted on the respective lever, the slotted guides are mounted onto the adjusting ring, and the adjusting ring is mounted onto the inlet vane device. The shafts are mounted in the housing, and the levers are mounted onto the respective shaft. The inlet vane device is then mounted into the housing, the rollers being introduced into the respective slotted guide, whereby the angular adjustment is coupled.

  • Patent number: 8105025
    Abstract: A collecting chamber of a flow machine which expands in the direction of circumference, including at least one outer shell part and a contour insert is provided. The contour insert is provided with a groove which extends in the circumferential direction and is preferably configured as a helical spiral. The contour insert, is cut from a whole unit and is delimited at one end in the circumferential direction by a bent edge so that the flow losses are minimized during the passage from the collecting chamber into a subsequent diffuser.

  • Patent number: 8047349
    Abstract: An electromotive actuator for deflecting a motor vehicle part includes a rotatable component and a non-rotatable component. The rotatable component can be driven by an electric motor in such a way that it can be moved linearly relative to the non-rotatable component between a first position and a second position. In order to create a compact adjustment device, the two components of the actuator are configured respectively as a threaded spindle and a threaded nut, whereby the rotatable component (threaded spindle or threaded nut) is non-rotatably connected to the rotor of the electric motor and can act directly or indirectly on the vehicle part that is to be deflected.

  • Patent number: 7866226
    Abstract: An electromotive actuator for deflecting a mechanical part, comprising a rotatable component and a non-rotatable component of a deflection gear, whereby the rotatable component can be driven by an electric motor in such a way that it can be moved linearly relative to the non-rotatable component between a first position and a second position. The two components of the actuator are constituents of a ball-ramp adjustment device, whereby a rotatable component of the ball-ramp adjustment device is non-rotatably connected to the rotor of the electric motor and acts directly or indirectly on the mechanical part that is to be deflected.

  • Publication number: 20080001490
    Abstract: A device having an adjusting drive and a transfer element. The adjusting drive includes a stator and a rotor. The transfer element converts rotational motion to translational motion. The stator is axially longer than the rotor which axially slides within the stator. The difference in length approximately corresponds to the extent of desired axial movement of the rotor. Thus the rotor is provided with a constant electromagnetic torque over the length of axial movement of the rotor. The transfer element, located within the rotor, has a nut/screw connection, which converts torque into an axial adjusting force. A gap, between the stator and rotor, has a size relating to the desired electromagnetic properties of the motor and acts as a bearing during axial movement of the rotor, thus reducing the number of parts needed for the device parts, the amount of wear and favorable production costs when compared with conventional solutions.
