Patent number: 6098774Abstract: A friction clutch arrangement for motor vehicles to control a clutch friction disk rotationally mounted on a transmission shaft which can be locked between two components has a clutch actuating device which includes a slave device adjacent to the clutch, a master device remote from the clutch and a force transmission system between the two devices. The slave device has an annular housing having an axial extension with a radially outer part and a radially inner part which are arranged concentrically to form an annular space containing a movable piston which is engagable with the clutch friction disk. A piston sensor in the radially inner part of the axial housing extension makes it possible to determine the position of the piston in the slave cylinder independently of external influences such as vibrations or dirt or of the influence of neighboring components.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1999Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Stefan Herzig, Jurgen Osterlanger, Kark-Ludwig Grell, Ernst Strian, Rainer Miersch

Patent number: 6040059Abstract: A component (17) made of an aluminum silicon cast alloy whose surface is at least partly subjected to an anodic treatment to produce an oxide layer, which component comprises, prior to the anodic treatment, a surface-proximate deformation zone (4) configured as a homogeneous zone in which the silicon is uniformly distributed in the .alpha.-mixed crystal (1) and due to this homogeneous mixing of aluminum and silicon, the differing electric conductivities of the original structural constituents (.alpha.-mixed crystal, eutectic) are replaced by a uniform electric conductivity so that uniform oxide layers can grow during the anodizing process.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1998Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: LuK GmbH & Co.Inventors: Stefan Birkner, Ernst Strian, Markus Kreibiehl

Patent number: 5643054Abstract: A machine part includes a surface suitable for rolling contact and/or sliding contact on another machine pad and made by an at least two-stage honing process, with a first honing step effecting a surface texture exhibiting a plurality of peaks and a plurality of pits and defining a mean profile line, and a second honing step for removal of the peaks to a level of the mean profile line for forming a plateau-like tenure that is interrupted by crossing pits, whereby the depth of the pits from the first honing step is maintained. Subsequently, abrasive grain is pushed into the surface for creating a crater-like recess, thereby displacing material at random in horizontal and venial directions for at least partially closing the pits. Mounds created during material displacement and positioned above the mean profile line are removed through a subsequent polishing process.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1996Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: INA Walzlager Schaeffler KGInventors: Peter Bach, Ludwig Kern, Ernst Strian
