Abstract: A two part flywheel having a torsional vibration damper with a plurality of inertial masses, for installation in the drive train of a motor vehicle. The two part flywheel comprises a first inertial mass system and a second inertial mass system. The first inertial mass system comprises a plurality of planet gears. The second inertial mass system comprises a sun gear. The planet gears solely engage with the sun gear. The first inertial mass system also comprises a first planar annular wall disposed substantially perpendicular to the common axis of rotation. The second inertial mass system also comprises a second planar annular wall disposed substantially perpendicular to the common axis of rotation. At least a portion of each planet gear of said plurality of planet gears is disposed between said first annular wall and said second annular wall.
Abstract: The cylinder is filled with damping medium. The vibration damper also includes a damping valve which is active as a function of pressure. The damping force of the damping valve can be modified by means of an actuator against a spring force on a shutoff valve body. An admission valve with its own damping action is connected hydraulically in series with the damping valve, so that the action of the admission valve is superimposed on the action of the adjustable damping valve.
Abstract: A clutch disk for a motor vehicle friction clutch is proposed of which the torsional vibration damper, designed for idle running, is arranged radially between a hub and springs of a torsional vibration damper designed for load running. The idling damper is arranged axially between a hub disk and one of the lateral disks of the load damper torsionally elastically coupled to the hub disk. The idling damper comprises an input part, produced from plastics material, which is non-rotatably connected to the hub disk coupled with rotational play but otherwise non-rotatably to the hub. The output part of the idling damper also consists of plastics material and is non-rotatably connected to the hub. Helical springs, couple the output part torsionally elastically to the input part. Pairs of projections, shaped on the input part, enclose the springs between themselves and are supported through the pockets on the hub disk.

Abstract: To enable prescribed functional values of pressure plate units of motor vehicle friction clutches to be observed with smaller tolerances than hitherto, it is proposed that a housing-spring component initially be pre-assembled from clutch housing (1) and diaphragm spring (7) and that this component be measured together with a master pressing plate. Geometry (diameter 25 and axial height 27) which is optimum for minimum tolerances of a contact bevel 15 is calculated by means of the measured result, and a pressing plate (13) with this bevel geometry is produced. The measured spring-housing component is finally assembled together with this specially produced pressing palte 913).

Abstract: An oil pump for a two-cycle internal combustion engine is mounted in a flange member which is attached to one end of the engine housing. The shaft of the oil pump is connected to the adjacent end of the crank shaft so that there is no relative rotation between the two shafts.
