  • Patent number: 11773913
    Abstract: A torque-transmitting clutch includes a first clutch element having a first base body and a first end face, a second clutch element, and a third clutch element having a third base body. In a closed position, the first and the second clutch elements are connectable in a positive locking and/or force-fit manner for transmitting torque, and in an open position, this positive locking and/or force-fit connection is released, and wherein the first clutch element is connectable to the third clutch element in a positive locking and/or force-fit manner. The first clutch element is produced according to a powder-metallurgical or an additive method and has at least one centering projection arranged on the first end face and extending towards the third clutch element to cooperate with and/or be accommodated with a centering recess in an end face in the third clutch element in a positive locking and/or force-fit manner.

  • Publication number: 20230184316
    Abstract: According to a method for pressing a green compact from a sintering powder for producing a gear having a first track and a second track, wherein a first helical toothing with a first helix angle and a first diameter is produced as the first track and a second helical toothing with a second helix angle and a second diameter is produced as the second track, the sintering powder is filled into a mold cavity of a die, and then the sintering powder is pressed to form the green compact with an upper stamp and a lower stamp, and wherein the first and the second helical toothings are produced having the same pitch height.

  • Patent number: 10646922
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for pressing a green compact (1) for producing a sintered molded part from a sintering powder, according to which the sintering powder is filled into a mold cavity (43a) of a die (43), and then the sintering powder is pressed by at least one punch, which is pushed at least partly into the mold cavity (43a), to form a green compact (1), wherein to form an undercut in the green compact (1) a portion of the sintering powder is pushed by a punch out of a first plane of the die (43) by forming an opening (11) in the first plane in pressing direction into a second plane of the die (11) different from the first plane. The invention also relates to a device (12) for performing said method and a correspondingly produced sintered molded part.
