Abstract: A screw compressor for a utility vehicle has at least one housing with at least one housing cover and with at least one rotor housing, at least one baffle plate and at least one seal. In the assembled state, an oil sump is present in the housing, wherein, with regard to the assembled state, the seal is arranged between housing cover and rotor housing and projects out of the oil sump. The seal at least partially separates the interior of the housing cover from the interior of the rotor housing. With regard to the assembled state, in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the screw-type compressor and in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the oil sump, the baffle plate is oriented substantially parallel to the upper level of the oil sump.

Abstract: A brake cylinder for pneumatically actuated vehicle brakes, especially for commercial vehicles, includes a housing. The housing is divided into two chambers by a piston, one of the chambers being used as a pressure chamber for actuating an operating brake section, and a cylinder spring of a spring-loaded brake section being arranged in the other chamber on the opposite side of the piston. The cylinder spring acts on another spring-loaded piston in the chamber, which can be blocked in relation to the first piston by a pneumatically actuated locking mechanism. The other spring-loaded piston is released from the first piston by a releasing action of the blocking mechanism, and is connected to a piston rod for actuating the vehicle brake. Following release of the blocking mechanism, the cylinder spring acts between the two pistons and moves them in relation to each other during a parking braking operation.

Abstract: A roller bearing, particularly for mounting the wheel of a commercial vehicle, has two angular-contact ball bearings placed in an O-arrangement relative to one another. The roller bearing is designed such that each angular-contact ball bearing is associated to a roller body row having a common inner ring with the angular contact ball bearing, wherein the two roller body rows are facing one another and form inner bearing rows.

Abstract: An axle shaft includes an electromechanically or pneumatically actuated disc brake, especially for a useful vehicle. The brake disc and the caliper can be displaced in relation to each other, and the caliper is fixed to the axle shaft on at least two fixing plates extending preferably from the axle shaft in different directions, at at least respectively one fixing point. The axle shaft is characterized by the arrangement, especially the orientation and/or embodiment, of the fixing plates, and the fixing points of the caliper or of an optional brake carrier on the fixing plates, which is selected in such a way that there is either no displacement of the fixing points on the fixing plates or a parallel displacement of the fixing points on both fixing plates perpendicularly to the brake disc.

The air suspension system has an electronic control system characterized in that the electronic control system is integrated in the electronic control of the air processing system. Similarly, an air processing system has an electronic control system characterized in that the electronic control system is integrated in the electronic control of the air suspension system.

Abstract: A brake cylinder for brakes of a motor vehicle, in particular for utility vehicles, comprising a spring loaded brake section and a service brake section is configurable in such a way that a total length is substantially shortened. In the inventive cylinder, the spring loaded brake section and the service brake section are constructed in such a way that they form a single unit. The brake cylinder comprises a pressurized piston for service braking and a spring-loaded piston for parking braking. The two pistons are connected to each other through a shift cylinder and are disconnected by the pressure relief in a second pressure chamber through the shift cylinder in such a way that the piston is displaceable by a spring-loaded spring. In order to release the brake, the piston for service braking is pressurized and reconnected to the piston. The unit is displaced to a release position by the action of a return spring through the pressure relief of the piston.

Abstract: A method and device for correcting an error caused by electromagnetic interference, in a signal of an inductive displacement sensor or angle sensor, in that when known activation of at least one component which causes electromagnetic interference occurs and there is a known error resulting therefrom in the sensor signal of the inductive displacement sensor or angle sensor the error in the measured sensor signal is corrected.

Abstract: A pressure-regulated friction clutch is provided including a cylinder-piston unit, operated by a pressure medium, which permits a frictional connection of an output shaft with a driven plate fixed thereto and an input shaft with a driving plate fixed thereto, for the transmission of a torque from the input shaft with a permanently pressurized cylinder-piston unit.

Abstract: A pole wheel is described, which can be connected to a wheel hub of a motor vehicle. The pole wheel comprises an annular-shaped wheel ring extending in a radial plane, and forming an outer edge comprising a plurality of openings arranged at substantially equal angular distances in relation to each other. The pole wheel also includes a dimensionally stable stop formed directly or indirectly on the wheel ring. The stop engages the brake disc connected to the wheel hub such that the brake disc is retained in an axial direction.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically commutated DC motor is provided, the DC motor including at least one particularly permanent magnetic rotor and a wound stator, which is a drive motor for an adjuster device on a pneumatically operated disc brake. The rotor position is determined from electrically measured parameters without sensing of the rotor position. The invention is characterized in that two determination methods for determining the rotor position from electrically measured parameters are combined with each other, whereby one is an inductive measurement and a further one of the determination methods is a measurement of the inducted voltage.

Abstract: A control process can be carried out during parking braking by way of a parking brake arrangement. The brake is applied by way of a service brake cylinder, and a position of a piston rod is fixed by rotation of a self-locking rotating spindle and application of the rotating spindle to the piston rod or an element connected in front of the piston rod. By additionally rotating the rotating spindle during parking braking, compensation can be made for shrinkages, particularly of a brake disk and/or brake linings, which occur during brake cooling.

Abstract: The invention concerns a disc-hub connection for connecting a brake disc to a hub, in particular for utility vehicle disc brakes. In its inner peripheral region the brake disc comprises support elements, the hub comprising cams in its outer peripheral region. Intermediate elements are used to transfer torque from the cams of the hub to the support elements of the disc, the cams of the hub engaging in the intermediate elements and the latter engaging in the support elements.
