  • Publication number: 20170030445
    Abstract: A rotation/translation converter gear unit having a helical gear and a planetary gear for driving the helical gear. A spindle nut of the helical gear forms a planet carrier for planet wheels of the planetary gear. Situated between the planetary gear and the helical gear is an axial friction bearing, that at the same time forms a centering element which centers a sun wheel of the planetary gear between the planet wheels. In particular, the rotation/translation converter gear unit is used to drive a piston of a pressure generator for a brake control of a hydraulic vehicle brake system.

  • Patent number: 9517757
    Abstract: A hydraulic block for a hydraulic assembly of a slip-regulated, hydraulic vehicle brake system, comprises a first plurality of receivers aligned in a first row that are each configured to fluidly connect to a respective brake pressure, and a second plurality of receivers aligned in a parallel second row that are each configured to fluidly connect to a respective brake pressure reduction valve. The second row is spaced from the first row in a first direction. The hydraulic block further comprises a first further receiver that fluidly connects to a brake master cylinder pressure sensor. The first further receiver is located perpendicularly offset from the first row in a second direction opposite the first direction and within a plane extending between two of the first plurality of receivers and between two of the second plurality of receivers and that is outside of a center plane defined by the hydraulic block.
