  • Publication number: 20160131543
    Abstract: A torque-measuring shaft includes a measuring shaft disposed on a shaft axis of the torque-measuring shaft, loadable in torsion and having at least one rotationally symmetric surface region disposed coaxially with the shaft axis as well as a measuring device disposed on the measuring shaft for measuring a torsion of the measuring shaft, wherein the torque-measuring shaft has a material weakening disposed in radial direction inside the measuring shaft, eccentrically relative to the shaft axis.

  • Publication number: 20130305842
    Abstract: A torque-measuring device with an acceleration transducer yields more informative measured results. The acceleration transmitter may be inseparably fastened to a carrier which in turn is inseparably joined to a torsion member. The torsion member and the carrier may be formed in one piece with one another. The torsion member may be a shaft and the carrier may be a flange.

  • Publication number: 20110061493
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to be able to make transmissions, in particular dual-clutch transmissions, more stable and compact, especially in respect of a variable moment load. The aim is achieved by a transmission comprising two coaxial transmission input shafts, two countershafts on which gear wheels designed as idlers are rotatably mounted, gear wheels that are arranged in a rotationally fixed and axially successive manner on the two transmission input shafts, are designed as fixed gears, and indirectly or directly mesh with the idlers and thus define different gears, coupling devices which are mounted in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner on the two countershafts and are to be axially moved by means of adjusting mechanisms in order to connect one respective idler in a rotationally fixed manner to the respective countershaft, and one respective output gear which is mounted on the two countershafts and meshes with teeth of an output member.

  • Publication number: 20100307218
    Abstract: In order to minimize the risk of artifacts in a torque measuring device, a torque measuring flange and a torque measuring method, the invention proposes that the evaluation device has means for storing a variable which is proportional to a freewheel torque and means for compensating a measured value with the stored variable.

  • Patent number: 6845685
    Abstract: In a control mechanism with a switchable transmission path comprised of mechanism links mounted on a frame, and with a switching pinion gear, through which at least two mechanism links can be optionally incorporated in the transmission path for switching purposes, wherein the two mechanism links are moveably held on a mount of the frame via switching elements, and wherein the switching pinion gear acts through a switching path to select and/or engage or disengage one of the two mechanism links on the switching elements, the mount can encompass a bearing element that is arranged so that it can move relative to the frame, and comprises part of the switching path, and an insertion lockout can be securely fastened to the frame, and the switching elements can be secured to the mount by means of an axially divided bearing block.

  • Patent number: 6439080
    Abstract: For a crankshaft of a motor with two outputs, which are braced against each other on a common shaft section by means of an essentially axial directed bracing force, measures are suggested, which deflect the axially directed bracing force into a bracing force with a radial component, that acts on at least one output.
