Patent number: 10759361Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a grommet for guiding one or more cables through an opening in a component. The grommet has a first shell element made of a first form-stable plastic and at least partly surrounding the outer circumference of the cable. The grommet also has a second shell element joined to the first shell element and at least partly surrounding the outer circumference of the cable and defining together with the first shell element a guide channel sealed in the circumferential direction of the cable, to guide the cable through the opening in the component. A sealant consisting of a foamed second plastic is introduced into the guide channel to longitudinally seal the grommet against water. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing such a grommet.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: LISA DRAEXLMAIER GmbHInventors: Johann Schwimmbeck, Christian Binder, Klaus Beinhundner, Robert Radu, Silviu Cocis, Enikoe Szabo, Benedikt Müller

Publication number: 20080087014Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic circuit for a steer-by-wire steering system which includes a hydraulic pump, a reservoir, a bi-directional steering actuator, a pair of electronic control units (ECU) for generating electrical steering control signals in response to an operator-generated steering command. There is a need for such a circuit which des not require large expensive valves. The hydraulic circuit includes a pair of solenoid operated directional control valve units and a pair of solenoid operated shut-off valves. Each directional control valve unit and a corresponding one of the shut-off valves are connected in series between the pump, the reservoir and the steering actuator, and are connected to a respective one of the ECUs and controlled thereby. In the absence of a fault condition both shut-off valves are open so that hydraulic flow to and from the actuator is shared by both the first and second directional control valve units.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2006Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Troy Eugene Schick, Steven Daniel Wallestad, Brian Lee Herbst, Manfred A.
