  • Publication number: 20050178991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solenoid valve. The end of valve, which points away from the magnet core towards the magnet armature, bears against an area of a valve tappet remote from the valve seat. The valve tappet is positioned so that it can be displaced in a bore of the magnet armature in order to adjust the preloading force of the spring.

  • Patent number: 6334361
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a sensor and a method of its manufacture. The sensor is used to sense position shifts, motional velocities or rotational speeds of an encoder and comprises a housing which accommodates electric components. The housing is made up of a first housing part of plastics which is at least in part enwrapped by a second injection-molded housing part that is also made of plastics. The first housing part is designed integrally with at least one positioning element molecularly interfaced with the second housing part.

  • Patent number: 4900105
    Abstract: The brake system includes a brake pressure generator with a master cylinder connected to wheel brake cylinders through master brake conduits; auxiliary pressure pumps having pump outlets in communication with the master brake conduits and pump inputs in communication with a pressure fluid reservoir through inlet conduits; wheel sensors and electronic circuits for determining the wheel rotating pattern and for generating electrical brake pressure control signals capable of controlling pressure fluid inlet and outlet valves disposed in the conduit system for slip control. The traction slip control system insures, with little effort involved, assembling and disassembling capabilities, and, in disassembled condition, complying with the control principle for a driven front axle and, in assembled condition, complying with the traction slip control mode for a driven rear axle in all speed ranges.

  • Patent number: 4721864
    Abstract: An inductive pulse generator for converting a rotary movement into a frequency proportional therewith. The pulse generator includes a measuring wheel (1) provided with poles (3) of magnetic material evenly distributed over the circumference of the measuring wheel. The pulse generator further includes a stator (4) provided with a magnetic core (6) with plate-shaped pole shoes (10) in a coil carrier (8) out of which end portions (12) of the pole shoes (10) project. The end portions (12) face the measuring wheel (1). A coil (7) surrounds the magnet core (6), at which coil (7) a pulsating voltage can be picked off with a frequency proportional to the number of revolutions of the measuring wheel (1), outside the area of the pole shoe (10) end portions (12) facing the measuring wheel (1). The thickness of the pole shoes (10) is increased by additional magnetic material (11) so as to increase the pulsating voltage which can be picked off at the coil (7).

  • Patent number: 4658168
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the circumferential speed of a toothed disc (1) capable of being rotated, with a sensor (4) arranged at a defined distance (s) from the toothed rim (2) of the toothed disc (1) and with a sensor casing (7) supported at and securable to a stationay guide member. In order to avoid the need of any additional adjustment of the distance (s) in the event of remounting the sensor (4), a bushing (9) is provided as a guide member which is adapted to be fastened to a carrier element (14) by screw means and which projects into a bore (8) of the casing (7). To arrange a threaded bore (15) in the casing (7), the bore (15) is adapted to accommodate a screw (16) into contact with the bushing (9).
