Abstract: A method for mounting SMD components on contact springs in electric motors. In a first method variation, the SMD component is mounted on the base of a carrier of the electric motor, which has already been provided with a contact spring protruding into a cavity. As the SMD component is installed, the contact spring is pressed back such that no frictional or sliding contact arises during installation. In a second variation, the SMD component is mounted first and then a contact spring is inserted using a press tool. As the contact spring is inserted, the spring is held back such that likewise no frictional or sliding contact arises with the SMD component that has already been installed. This avoids damage to the SMD component caused by the contact spring during installation.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a plurality of SMD components arranged on a carrier of the motor, and a connection part for the SMD components together with an electrically conductive housing part of the motor. A contact spring electrically connects a plurality of SMD components to the housing part. The contact spring has a main section, a spring-type connection section that extends outwards from one side of the main section, and at least one spring-type contact section that extends outwards from the other side of the main section. The spring-type connection section of the contact spring includes a plurality of contact fingers for the SMD components.

Abstract: A mixer valve of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a single servo-motor and a differential. A flap arranged in an intake port and a flap arranged in a exhaust duct are driven by a differential. Spring elements tension the flaps in a base position counter to the stops and determine which of the flaps is driven in which control area of the servo-motor.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas control device for an internal combustion engine includes a common valve body for controlling a flow in an exhaust-gas channel and for controlling a flow in a bypass channel. The valve body is rotatably arranged in a housing and controls outlet openings of the exhaust-gas channel and of the bypass channel. In one rotational position, the valve body closes an inlet channel by a base and thus interrupts the flow. At the same time, the exhaust-gas channel and the bypass channel are separated from each other.
