  • Patent number: 11225139
    Abstract: A power take-off transmission (1), for a motor vehicle, having a power take-off shaft (5), a transmission housing (3), at least two shiftable gears and at least one actuator for engaging the at least two gears. The at least one actuator has an actuating linkage (6) for mechanical actuation from outside the transmission housing (3). The actuating linkage (6) of the power take-off transmission (1) is coupled to an electric motor (8) located outside the transmission housing (3) and by which the at least one actuator can be actuated mechanically. The power take-off transmission can be installed on an agricultural working machine.

  • Patent number: 10280983
    Abstract: A shaft-hub connection of a double gearwheel (2) on a transmission shaft (5), in which the double gearwheel (2) has a first gearwheel (3) and a second gearwheel (4), which are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner. The shaft-hub connection is in the form of a shrink fit (7) between a hub (8) of the first gearwheel (3) and the transmission shaft (5). A maximum of the torque to be transmitted can be transmitted by virtue of the shrink fit (7).

  • Patent number: 7905249
    Abstract: An electromagnetic proportional pressure-control valve of a vehicle transmission which includes a magnet part, a hydraulic part and a spring operatively connecting the magnet part to the hydraulic part. The magnet part includes a coil, an armature and an armature bar. The hydraulic part includes first and second closing elements. The first closing element forms a flat seat and the second closing element a ball seat and the closing elements are opened and/or closed via a tappet rod. When no current is applied to the valve, the second closing element is closed and an gap (ΓΌ) in the first closing element is larger than one seventh a nominal width (NW) of the valve. The second closure area (A_2) is larger than a circular area having a diameter corresponding to double the gap and the diameter (s) of the tappet rod is smaller than 0.7 times the diameter (b) of the orifice.

  • Patent number: 7703753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stop element (1) for a hydraulic bearing and a hydraulic bushing equipped therewith. The proposed hydraulic stop element (1) with a stop body (2, 2?) and a stop surface (3) is implemented as a piston-cylinder-assembly with an elastomeric bearing (12) with at least two work chambers for a fluidic damping means. The cylinder (4) of this piston-cylinder-assembly is inserted into the solid material surrounding the outer surface of a metallic element of the elastomeric support (12) which delimits the corresponding work chamber (16, 16?) of the elastomeric bearing (12) perpendicular to the main load direction (r). A piston (2, 2?) which forms the stop body with a stop surface (3) is movably guided in the cylinder (4) in the main load direction (r) of the elastomeric bearing.
