Abstract: The oil side-flow cleaning device includes a heating unit (11) installed between the oil tank and the filter unit (10) so that, when the oil temperature is below a defined limit value, oil flows through the filter unit (10) in such a way as to bypass the filtering function and is heated; and so that, when the oil temperature is above the defined limit, oil flows through the filter unit (10) so as to be subjected to the oil filtering function. In addition or as an alternative, the oil side-flow cleaning device comprises a backflush unit including a backflush collecting tank (17) and a backflush nozzle (18), wherein, when the device is in backflush mode, oil flows through the filter medium (16) in a second, opposite direction as a function of the position of the backflush nozzle (18) relative to the filter medium (16).

Abstract: Rotational coupling is provided having: a first carrier body with a first base section and a plurality of first coupling arms extending from the first base section spaced in a circumferential direction, each having a first coupling section jointly defining a first plane running concentrically and perpendicularly to a rotational axis, a second carrier body including a second base section and a plurality of second coupling arms extending from the second base section spaced in the circumferential direction, each having a second coupling section jointly defining a second plane running concentrically and perpendicularly to the rotational axis, first and second carrier bodies arranged such that the planes coincide, the coupling arms facing one another, alternately interengaging and circumferentially spaced, base sections oriented oppositely along the rotational axis, and each of the coupling sections coupled via elastic link elements to the coupling sections respectively adjacent on both sides.

Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning lubricating oil which circulates in a lubricating oil circuit has an intake to be connected with the lubricating oil circuit, through which a part quantity of the lubricating oil circulating in the lubricating oil circuit is to be fed to the cleaning and a return to be connected with the lubricating oil circuit for the returning of the cleaned lubricating oil into the lubricating oil circuit.

Abstract: A valve control for a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine includes at least one spring element for preloading the valve in an end position and a fixing device for the releasable fixing of the valve. The spring element in a moveable insert, which by means of an actuation device is adjustable in actuation direction of the valve between an end position close to the valve disc and an end position far from the valve disc for adjusting a preload applied on the valve by the spring element.
