Abstract: In order to provide a component, in particular, a vehicle component for a motor vehicle which is producible simply and economically and which in particular is mountable reliably, it is proposed that the component comprises the following: a separating and/or covering element by means of which a first space, in particular an interior of a motor vehicle is separable from a second space, in particular the surroundings of a motor vehicle, and/or by means of which an object, in particular a supporting structure of a motor vehicle is coverable; and/or a mounting device which comprises one or more mounting elements and by means of which the component is arrangeable on and in particular fixable to an object, in particular a supporting structure of a motor vehicle, wherein the separating and/or covering element comprises one or more cover layers which comprise a plastic material or are formed therefrom and which are transparent at least in sections thereof and/or at least at times.

Abstract: A fluid delivery system formed of a first component and a second component. The first component includes a first surface and a pair of first walls extending outwardly from the first surface. The second component includes a second surface facing the first surface. The second component includes a pair of second walls and a pair of inner walls which both extend outwardly from the second surface. Each of the pair of second walls and each of the pair of first walls are vibrationally welded at a primary weld joint. The pair of inner walls extends outwardly from the second surface and sealingly contacts the first surface to define a fluid passage and a pair of cavities on either side of the fluid passage. Weld flash formed during the vibrational welding of the primary joints is contained within the pair of cavities and prevented from entering the fluid passage.

Abstract: The invention provides a seal assembly for a shaft. The seal assembly includes a seal member operable to encircle a rotatable shaft. The seal member includes an outwardly facing annular sealing surface. The seal assembly also includes a carrier having an aperture sealingly receiving the annular sealing surface. The aperture extends along an axis between a first edge to a second edge. The aperture includes a first surface portion having a first surface finish and a second surface portion having a second surface finish rougher than the first surface finish. The second surface finish cooperates with the annular sealing surface to limit movement of the seal member along the axis.

Abstract: A sealing system for a shaft, in particular for a combustion engine, with a motor casing cover having a clearance hole for take-up of a carrier is shown having at least one dynamically and at least one statically effective sealing area and is equipped with a centering area that allows centering relative to the clearance hole, when the carrier is securely connected to the motor casing cover by means of a quarter-turn fastener. The centering area is arranged on the level of the quarter-turn fastener in such a way that the dynamic sealing area is aligned with a shaft and the static sealing area with given pressure can be used in a corresponding section of the motor casing cover.

Abstract: A seal, especially for shafts movable in a translational direction, has at least one static sealing area and at least one dynamic sealing area and another sealing point outside of the dynamic sealing area. The other sealing point is formed by at least two elements functionally connected to each other, one of which at least one is stationary and at least one other is movable, following a shaft stroke.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing shaft seals, in which at least one PTFE washer equipped with hydrodynamic seals is arranged in working position with at least one stiffening member inside a die-casting machine. The stiffening member and the PTFE washer are at least partially coated with an elastomer. At least one zone that alters the cross-section of the PTFE washer is cast in the die-casting machine between the seals and the elastomer coating.
