  • Publication number: 20230336046
    Abstract: A coil component for an electric machine, having a carrier and a coil winding accommodated in the carrier at least in sections. The carrier has a ring region with multiple grooves distributed in a circumferential direction, and multiple winding sections of the coil winding are received in each groove. An insulation layer is arranged between the carrier and the winding sections in at least one groove and projects with two extension portions over the winding sections towards a radial opening of the at least one groove. A closure element is received in the carrier in the groove with the insulation layer towards the radial opening, and both extension portions are arranged such that the closure element is spaced apart from the carrier by the extension portions. An electric machine is provided with the coil component.

  • Publication number: 20200232518
    Abstract: A clutch device includes first frictional elements and second frictional elements connectable to the first frictional elements. The clutch device has a hub connected to a first part of the second frictional elements, a movable contact plate connected to a second part of the second frictional elements, a disengaging plate for actuating the contact plate, and a pressure disk. A first bolt extends through the pressure disk and includes a first end attached to the disengaging plate, and a second end attached to the contact plate. A compression spring is positioned between the first end and the pressure disk. A leaf spring is joined to the contact plate and to the hub. A first centrifugal unit is arranged to move the pressure disk in the axial direction against the compression spring to clamp the first and second frictional elements when a first speed of rotation is reached.

  • Publication number: 20200124114
    Abstract: A clutch device for a drivetrain of a vehicle, has a first clutch component for introducing torque and a second clutch component for transmission of torque. The second clutch component is rotationally uncouplable from the first clutch component. First frictional elements of the first clutch component and second frictional elements of the second clutch component may be connectible so that they transmit torque. The partial self-amplification of the clutch device is executable here by the leaf spring unit, while the second spring unit exerts a static clamping force. The leaf spring unit and the second spring unit are rotationally uncoupled.

  • Patent number: 10006500
    Abstract: A two-stage clutch for separable connection of an input shaft to at least one output shaft, having a clutch cover, a clutch basket and a plurality of partial clutches, the partial clutches being operated in series. A first partial clutch is a pilot clutch, which is actively operable. A second partial clutch is a main clutch, which is operable by the pilot clutch, an operating force for the main clutch being produced by a torque transmitted by a shaft. In this two-stage clutch, the clutch cover is firmly connectible to the clutch basket. With the two-stage clutch proposed here, high torques can be transmitted despite small external operating forces. At the same time, the construction and assembly are greatly simplified in spite of the considerable complexity of the two-stage clutch, and the two-stage clutch has a significantly reduced rotating mass.
