Publication number: 20180266500Abstract: A freewheel device for a motor vehicle includes an inner ring and an outer ring as well as at least one clutch disk. The at least one clutch disk is arranged radially between the inner ring and the outer ring and is formed by a plurality of segments, which are each connected to one another tangentially by an elastic element. The inner ring has, on an outer circumferential surface, a multiplicity of ramps, which interact with ramps, formed in a manner corresponding thereto, on an inner circumferential surface of the at least one clutch disk in order to allow a freewheeling function between the inner ring and the outer ring during a first rotation of the inner ring and to allow a locking function between the inner ring and the outer ring during a second rotation of the inner ring, which is opposed to the first rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2016Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20180216673Abstract: An improved friction part for a frictionally operating device includes friction lining pieces, which are spaced apart from each other by grooves in order to create a friction surface in the form of a circular-ring-shaped disk, especially in respect of suitability for production and/or functionality. In an example embodiment, the friction part has friction lining pieces, which are spaced apart from each other by grooves in order to create a friction surface in the form of a circular-ring-shaped disk, if some or all of the friction lining pieces are in the shape of triangles. The triangular friction lining pieces may be arranged in a plurality of circumferential rows. The grooves between the friction lining pieces may extend as far as a carrier element. Virtually waste-free usage of the linings is thereby possible. A carrier plate can be used as a carrier element, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2016Publication date: August 2, 2018Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventor: Andreas Götz

Patent number: 9017202Abstract: A drive train for a motor vehicle, in particular a hybrid vehicle, having a drive shaft that can be connected to an internal combustion engine, and a transmission oil pump that can be coupled to the drive shaft by means of a switchable freewheel. An electrical machine for driving the transmission oil pump is also provided and is arranged in the power flow direction between the drive shaft and the transmission oil pump, and is in parallel to the freewheel in the power flow direction. A second freewheel is unnecessary and thereby reduces the construction space needed for the power train.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8500580Abstract: A torque sensor for a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission. A first ramp surface is rigidly connected to a shaft of a conical disk pair, and a second ramp surface is rigidly connected to a sensing piston surrounding the shaft and axially and rotatably movable relative to the shaft. Balls are positioned between and in contact with the ramp surfaces and with a guide surface rigidly connected with an axially movable disk. The guide surface is so configured that the contact points of a particular ball with the ramp surfaces, the contact point of that ball with the guide surface, and the center point of that ball lie in a radially oriented plane.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8100790Abstract: A sensing device integrated into a conical disk pair includes a sensing piston that is axially movable relative to the input shaft over a radially stepped guide surface that is formed on a shaft on which the sensing device is carried, and a corresponding opposing stepped surface formed on the sensing piston. The steps define a damping chamber between the guide surface and the opposing surface, whose volume changes when the sensing piston moves axially relative to the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 7909723Abstract: An adjusting device including a CVT planetary roller transmission having two axially-spaced sun wheels that are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and at different speeds of rotation. Planet wheels contact and ride against peripheral surfaces of each of the sun wheels, and an axially displaceable ring wheel lies radially outwardly of the sun wheels and engages a peripheral groove formed in the sun wheels. When the ring wheel is axially displaced relative to the sun wheels the axes of rotation of the planet wheels tilt relative to the sun wheel axis resulting in a difference in the rotational speed of the sun wheels changes. The device can be employed as an adjusting device for adjusting the rotational speed of connected units, and also as a drive line component having a variable transmission ratio and situated in a power train of a motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: LuK Lamellen und Kupplungsbau Beteiligungs KGInventors: Andreas Triller, Andreas Englisch, Andreas Götz, Lászlo Mán, Marco Grethel
