Abstract: An apparatus for regulating the coolant flow for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles has a valve body which can be moved in a valve apparatus (8) for opening or closing or partially opening. The valve body can be arranged in a throughflow opening to be connected to a brake system (1, 2, 3, 4; 11, 12, 13, 14; 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) to regulate the volume of the coolant flow.

Abstract: A regulator has a regulation unit (422, 622) with an adjustment unit (624), having a drive unit (414, 620) configured for adjusting the adjustment unit (624), and having a lockable and unlockable force store (412, 610-616). The regulation unit (422, 622) and the adjustment unit (624) are in contact with one another via the force store (412, 610-616), and the regulation unit (422, 622) can, in the case of a locked and charged force store (412, 610-616), be displaced by the adjustment unit (624) within an adjustment range (630) so as to drive the force store (412, 610-616). In the event of unlocking the charged force store (412, 610), a discharge of the force store (412, 610-616) causes the regulation unit (422, 622) to be moved automatically into a safety position independently of the adjustment unit (624).

Abstract: A pump (1, 101) includes a pump housing (2, 102) having an intake opening (5, 105) and a plurality of outlet openings (6, 106). A pump wheel (9, 109) is accommodated in the housing (2, 102) in a rotationally drivable manner to effect a fluid stream from the intake opening (5, 105) to the respective outlet opening (6, 106). An adjustable ring element (13, 113) is provided radially outside the pump wheel (9, 109) and inside the housing (2, 102). The adjustable ring element (13, 113) enables the fluid stream through the respective outlet opening (6, 106) to be regulated.

Abstract: An actuator, such as a pressure actuator or a vacuum actuator, has a housing and a plunger that is guided through the housing. A diaphragm is connected to the housing and to the plunger and forms a gas-tight pressure chamber with the housing. A pressure medium connector is provided on the housing and communicates with the pressure chamber to pressurize the pressure chamber. A braking element is provided on the plunger and enables a braking force can be exerted on the plunger.

Abstract: A rotary fluid regulator (1, 300) has a housing (2) with at least one inlet opening (3, 4) and at least one outlet opening (5). A valve element (7, 100) is received rotatably in the housing (2) and is a hollow fluid duct (8). A drive element (19, 301, 401, 501) is provided to rotate the valve element (7, 100) so that a fluidic connection between the at least one inlet opening (3, 4) and the at least one outlet opening (5) can be adjusted or blocked. A brake element is provided for influencing or blocking the movement of the valve element.

Abstract: A pump (1, 100) has a pump housing (2) with an intake opening (3) and an outlet opening (4). A drivable impeller (5) is arranged in the pump housing (2) and conveys a fluid from the intake opening (3) toward the outlet opening (4). A valve element (10) is provided in the pump housing (2) and can be set by an actuator (15, 115) to set the fluid flow that is conveyed by the pump (1, 100). The setting of the valve element (10) can be influenced by a magnetorheological braking element (17, 117).

Abstract: A thermostatic valve with a valve housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, with an actuator which is accommodated in the valve housing and has a housing, and with a switching element which is operatively connected to the actuator in order to control a fluid connection between fluid inlet and fluid outlet, wherein a plunger protrudes out of the housing, the plunger being connected in an axially fixed manner to the valve housing, and the housing being accommodated in an axially shiftable manner in the valve housing, wherein the housing is mounted in the region of its opposite end regions in the valve housing by plain bearings, wherein the switching element is arranged in an axially displaceable manner relative to the housing of the actuator.
