  • Patent number: 9611901
    Abstract: A freewheel arrangement having a freewheel, which comprises an inner ring, an outer ring rotatable in a first direction of rotation relative to the inner ring, and clamping elements between the inner ring and the outer ring, which prevent a rotation of the outer ring relative to the inner ring in a second direction of rotation. The outer ring and the inner ring and the clamping elements may be formed as a stamped sheet metal part.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2017
    Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.

  • Patent number: 8057311
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper includes at least one spring element and a sliding block. The sliding block includes a first surface section that operatively faces an adjacent spring element, is harder than another surface section of the sliding block, has first and/or second supporting surfaces for radial support of the spring element, and has first and/or second supporting surfaces for axial support of the spring element. A second surface section has a sliding surface for sliding support of the sliding block, and a basic body includes plastic. The first and/or second surface section(s) is/are formed by at least one first insert that is harder than the plastic. The first surface section is formed by at least two elongate second inserts that are spaced apart from one another and projected and on which the spring element can be supported in a centering manner in a radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20100323801
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper includes a primary element with at least one primary driver, a secondary element with at least one secondary driver, at least one spring device between the primary and secondary drivers for resiliently elastic coupling of the primary and secondary elements, and at least one end block arranged on an end side of the spring device. The primary element is rotatable relative to the secondary element from a neutral position into a first position, in which the primary driver is supported only on the spring device, and from the first position onward into a second position, in which the primary driver is supported on the spring device and on the end block. In the first and second positions of the primary element, torque of the torsional vibration damper can be transmitted exclusively directly between the primary driver and spring device.

  • Publication number: 20100056283
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper employs a sliding block of the present invention. The torsional vibration damper includes at least one spring element, and the sliding block has a first surface section that operatively faces an adjacent spring element and is harder than another surface section of the sliding block. The torsional-vibration damper employs a separator sheet of the present invention that includes the sliding block, and a method of the present invention produces the sliding block.
