Abstract: A seal arrangement between two components moving relative to one another. The seal arrangement has a seal which is positioned by way of a seal back in an annular groove of a fixed rolling bearing ring. The seal has at least two elastic sealing lips, a first, radial scaling lip supported by a spring means and a second, axial sealing lip, which are each supported by at least one sealing edge directly or indirectly against a rotating centrifugal sleeve. An intermediate space defined by the sealing edges of the sealing lips is designed as lubricant reservoir. Alternatively or in addition, at least one sealing edge forms a lubricant reservoir in the area of a contact zone of the sealing edge against a support face of the centrifugal sleeve or offset in relation thereto.

Abstract: The invention refers to an impeller, consisting of plastic, which Is intended for a coolant pump of an internal combustion engine. The impeller, which has a multipart construction, comprises a back wall, which is connected in one piece to guide vanes and also to a hub, and also a separate molded disk which on the end face partially covers the guide vanes in the installed state. The components, the back wall and the molded disk are positionally fixed by means of a materially bonding connection.

Abstract: A lip-type shaft seal is made of elastic material with a Shore A hardness of ?75, includes a radial sealing lip, which has a sealing edge to bear against a rotating component and terminates in a axial sealing lip, which has a sealing edge to rests in installed state against a contact surface. The axial sealing lip extends at an angle of ?35° in relation to a symmetry axis of the shaft seal, when the axial sealing lip has not been installed yet and is under no tension, and extends from the sealing edge of the radial sealing lip at a length of ?1.4 mm. When the shaft seal is installed, the axial sealing lip rests against the contact surface at an axial overlap of 0.05 to 0.55 mm.

Abstract: A lip-type shaft seal is made of elastic material with a Shore A hardness of ≦75, includes a radial sealing lip, which has a sealing edge to bear against a rotating component and terminates in a axial sealing lip, which has a sealing edge to rests in installed state against a contact surface. The axial sealing lip extends at an angle of ≧35° in relation to a symmetry axis of the shaft seal, when the axial sealing lip has not been installed yet and is under no tension, and extends from the sealing edge of the radial sealing lip at a length of ≧1.4 mm. When the shaft seal is installed, the axial sealing lip rests against the contact surface at an axial overlap of 0.05 to 0.55 mm.

Abstract: A system for preloading the bearing of a cooling water pump for motor vehicles. The pump comprises a shaft and an impeller mounted on one end of the shaft and, an outer bearing ring surrounding the shaft. An axial face seal is mounted on one projecting end of the shaft operable bearing ring and to tension spring-loaded sliding rings with a predetermined contact pressure against each other. The outer axial end face of the axial face seal is aligned with the axial end face of the shaft to simplify and insert the same preloading of the bearing for assemblies put together by mass production techniques.

Abstract: Bearing design for the drive gear and the pump impeller of a cooling water pump for motor vehicles, with a shaft, which is installed so that it can rotate by means of two rows of balls in an outer bearing ring, and which projects on both sides beyond the outer bearing ring, characterized in that the shaft (12) is produced by the extrusion method and has a wall (20) separating chambers or compartments extending inwardly from opposing ends of the shaft, the wall is located on the drive side outside the rows of balls (24).

Abstract: Liquid pump assembly comprising a pump housing having a pump chamber, a drive shaft in the pump chamber mounting a pump rotor, a pump chamber cover and a molded member (12,18) partially defining the shape of the pump chamber (8) located on the inside surface of the pump cover (1).

Abstract: Pulley for driving the shaft of a water pump, especially a pump for the cooling system of an internal combustion engine, the shaft being designed to be integral with a pulley body carrying the rim of the pulley, characterized in that the rim (15, 25, 31, 37) is designed as a sleeve and is attached to the pulley body (13, 22, 29, 39) in a form-locking or friction-locking manner.

Abstract: In a drive device for pumps consisting of a pump impeller mounted in a pump chamber, a pump cover covers the pump chamber and has an extension and a bore passing from the pump chamber to the outside. A shaft is connected at its inner end to the pump impeller and at its outer end in a torsion-proof manner by way of a coupling element to a drive wheel. A bearing supports the shaft and drive wheel in the housing bore and extension respectively. The coupling element is formed by an external edge rigidly connected to the drive wheel and covers the outer bearing and the extension laterally on the outside. A cover plate with a center section connects in a torsion-proof manner to the shaft, and is adjusted to elastically adjust the cover plate relative to the pump cover either inward toward the pump chamber or outward away from the pump chamber, thereby providing for automatic adjustment of the radial and axial load-supporting bearings means to remove their play.

Abstract: A bearing on a shaft is separated from the bore of a housing by an intermediate sleeve. The sleeve has an annular recess in its end surface, the end surface being spaced from the shaft. A sealing element extends radially in the annular recess and axially between the shaft and the intermediate sleeve. The axially extending arm of the sealing element has a flange extending behind a radially extending surface of the intermediate sleeve to axially hold the sealing element, with play, to the intermediate sleeve. The sealing element is mounted with prestress on the shaft, to rotate therewith during operation.

Abstract: A cage for ball bearings consists of two side rings connected together by webs, and having ball pockets with ball pockets having curved partial surfaces inside and outside of the pitch circle and displaced from one another in the axial direction. In this arrangement the rubbing between the walls of the cage pockets and the balls is very small and free space is provided for receiving a lubricant. The pocket walls of the cage sections lying in the region of one or the other of the side rings has several radially-overlying zones, with conical surfaces, the conical surfaces being arranged at different inclinations to the bearing axis.
