Abstract: A DC machine, particularly a DC motor for use in a motor vehicle, includes a stator, a rotor that is supported rotatably in a pole housing having a commutator, and having a brush-holder support, made substantially of plastic, for fixing at least two brushes and further components. The brush-holder support has a device for improving the positioning of the components situated on or at it relative to the rest of the machine and/or for shortening the tolerance chain of the machine, in particular, a longtime stabilization of the overall equipment being also achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for the incremental control of at least one first direct-current motor (12) for the cooling fan of a motor vehicle. Said device comprises a first (14) and a second current-limiting component (16), and a first (22), a second (24) and a third switching element (28). The inventive device is characterized in that the switching elements (22, 24, 28) connect the first (14) and the second current-limiting component (16) in such a manner that the cooling capacity of the cooling fan can be varied in at least four levels different from zero.

Abstract: An electrical machine having at least four exciter poles in the stator and having a commutator rotor, which has a number of slots pole teeth on its circumference that is greater than the number of exciter poles, and having twice as large a number of commutator laminations, which via at least two carbon brushes serve to supply current to coils which are each wound on one of the pole teeth, and contact bridges each joined together diametrically opposed laminations. When there is an even number of slots, pole teeth and coils, the beginning and end of one coil of the coils disposed on adjacent pole teeth is connected directly to the laminations adjacent to one another, and the beginning and end of the other coil is connected via one of the contact bridges to the laminations adjacent to one another.

Abstract: A radiator blower, in particular for motor vehicles, is indicated that comprises a plurality of individual fans (11, 12), each having an electrical drive motor (13, 14), and a plurality of switches (S1, S2, S3), each capable of being switched over into two positions, by means of which the drive motors (13, 14) are capable of being turned on and back off individually or in a series or parallel connection. To prevent disturbing noises from developing when the individual fan (11, 12) comes to rest after being turned off, when the operating drive motor or motors (13, 14) is/are turned off, an electronic control unit (20) forces the switches (S1, S2, S3)—at least temporarily—over into switch positions that bring about a short-circuiting of the turned-off drive motor or motors (FIG. 1).
