  • Publication number: 20040095016
    Abstract: In a threaded mechanism with rolling bodies comprising a spindle rod, a spindle nut at least partially enclosing said spindle rod, and a number of interposed rolling bodies, an axial and radial mounting support is provided for the spindle nut that is adapted to receive both tilting movements of the spindle nut about its longitudinal axis as well as radial movements transversely to its longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 6470909
    Abstract: A hydraulic system for a motor vehicle has at least one pressure restricting valve with a housing that has two or more connections. At least one conduit cross-section in the housing can be closed by means of a closing body that is movable axially against the action of an energy accumulator. At least a part of the axial travel of the closing body is damped by means of a damping device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6098774
    Abstract: A friction clutch arrangement for motor vehicles to control a clutch friction disk rotationally mounted on a transmission shaft which can be locked between two components has a clutch actuating device which includes a slave device adjacent to the clutch, a master device remote from the clutch and a force transmission system between the two devices. The slave device has an annular housing having an axial extension with a radially outer part and a radially inner part which are arranged concentrically to form an annular space containing a movable piston which is engagable with the clutch friction disk. A piston sensor in the radially inner part of the axial housing extension makes it possible to determine the position of the piston in the slave cylinder independently of external influences such as vibrations or dirt or of the influence of neighboring components.

  • Patent number: 6085885
    Abstract: A friction clutch arrangement for motor vehicles to control a clutch friction disk rotationally mounted on a transmission shaft which can be locked between two components has a clutch actuating device which includes a slave device adjacent to the clutch, a master device remote from the clutch and a force transmission system between the two devices. The slave device includes a fixed cylinder containing nonferromagnetic conductive material, a movable piston and a variable inductance travel sensor extending substantially parallel to the path of the piston which makes it possible to determine the position of the piston in the slave cylinder independently of external influences such as vibrations or dirt or of the influence of neighboring components.
