  • Patent number: 12640296
    Abstract: A permanent magnet includes a magnetic base body that has a direction of magnetization and at least two recesses formed orthogonally to the direction of magnetization. The at least two recesses are formed as cut-outs and run substantially parallel to each another. A first cut-out is formed out of a first side of the base body such that no material bridge remains between the first cut-out and the first side and a second cut-out is formed out of a second side of the base body such that no material bridge remains between the second cut-out and the second side. The first and second cut-outs extend only partially along a width of the base body resulting in a first material bridge from the first cut-out to the second side and a second material bridge from the second cut-out to the first side. The first cut-out is spaced from the second cut-out.

  • Patent number: 9534680
    Abstract: A motor vehicle differential gear has at least one housing part as a first gear part, and a crown wheel as a second gear part. The first and second gear parts are connected via respective first connection surfaces running in the axial direction by a press fit, and via respective second connection surfaces running at an angle to the axial direction, forming a welding seam. One of the gear parts is formed from a steel and the other gear part from a cast iron material, as well as such a differential gear in which the second connection surfaces connect directly to the first connection surfaces.
