  • Publication number: 20160208908
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission drive device (10) comprising a shaft (14; 14a) which is arranged in a housing (12) in a longitudinally movable manner in the direction of the shaft axis (26) and comprising a shaft end (15; 15a) which is formed on an end face and which is supported at least indirectly on the housing (12) via at least one starting element (30). Either the shaft end (15) or the starting element (30) has a rounded design at least in some regions, a bearing point (31) being formed between the starting element (30) and the shaft end (15; 15a), and the starting element (30) being coupled to a damping element (32; 32a to 32d) which allows a movement of the starting element (30) in the event of an axial application of force (FA, FA1, FA2) by means of the shaft (14; 14a).

  • Patent number: 7768168
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical machine having a rotor, a stator, and a permanent magnet located on the rotor. The permanent magnet is embodied essentially as a hollow cylinder with axial and/or radial contact faces and is secured to the rotor at the axial and/or radial contact faces by means of retaining elements; the permanent magnet is elastically supported in the axial direction (X-X) and/or the radial direction of the rotor by means of the retaining elements.

  • Patent number: 7528564
    Abstract: An electrical machine including at least one sensor, a transducer wheel at which the sensor axially picks up a signal, an end face of the sensor being adjacent to an annular face on one face end of the transducer wheel, a shaft, on which the transducer wheel is axially displaceably secured, a fixed bearing, and a loose bearing, in which bearings the shaft is supported, and a housing. At least one stop on the machine having at least one stop face that points in the direction of the fixed bearing and has at least one stop face on the transducer wheel, the stop faces being oriented toward one another and axially facing one another. Viewed in the direction of the transducer wheel, the stop faces are designed relative to one another such that the two diametrically opposed active surfaces of the sensor and of the transducer wheel barely do not touch.
