  • Patent number: 12374964
    Abstract: An electrically controllable drive assembly including an electric motor having a rotor capable of being driven to execute a rotational movement, a motor shaft connected in rotationally fixed fashion to the rotor, and a signal transmitter of a sensor device for the electronic acquisition and evaluation of the angle of rotation of the motor shaft. The signal transmitter is indirectly anchored on the motor shaft via a holding element. The holding element is a hollow cylinder that has an open first end with which the holding element is fastened on the motor shaft and a second end, situated facing away from the motor shaft, and at least one holding element region that extends into the open cross-section of the holding element.

  • Patent number: 8593025
    Abstract: A driving device (10) for driving a unit (11) is specified, with a drive shaft (16) on which a plurality of rolling bearings (19 to 21) serving to drive respective functional elements of the unit (11) are arranged next to one another. The rolling bearings (19 to 21) are designed as unencapsulated needle bearings (22 to 24) and are arranged directly next to one another on the drive shaft (16) in such a manner that the inner ring (25, 26) of a needle bearing (22, 23) is in touching contact by means of its end surface (43, 44), which is located on an axial side, with the facing, axial end surface (46, 47) of the outer sleeve (32, 33) of the needle bearing (23, 24) following next axially.

  • Publication number: 20040045431
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller bearing, in particular a needle bearing (38). The invention proposes embodying a bearing ring (42) of the needle bearing (38) with a lateral extension (46) with which the needle bearing (38) can be pressed into a bearing seat (48). This has the advantage that a compression of the bearing ring (42) by the bearing seat (48) takes place outside the region of the needles (40) of the needle bearing (38) and consequently, the compression of the bearing seat (48) does not influence a bearing play of the needle bearing (38). The needle bearing (38) is particularly provided for supporting a shaft (24) of a piston pump (16) of a pump unit (10), which shaft supports a cam (26).

  • Patent number: 6616420
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump assembly for a hydraulic brake system with traction control, having an electric motor and a piston pump. To reduce a bearing load, the invention proposes rotatably supporting and thereby radially bracing a motor shaft, or an eccentric sleeve pressed onto the motor shaft, on both sides of pump pistons. To economize on installation space, a pump bearing is disposed in an end of the eccentric sleeve that protrudes past the motor shaft.

  • Patent number: 6341950
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump, which is intended for use as a return pump for a slip-controlled hydraulic vehicle brake system. To simplify the manufacture of a piston of the piston pump, the piston includes a thin sleeve.

  • Patent number: 6126418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump with a piston that is axially displaceable in a pump bore of a pump housing. To enable making the piston pump with a short structure, the piston is embodied with a tubular guide portion, which on its inside is guided axially displaceably on a guide element solidly connected to the housing and protrudes into the guide portion. In this way, an inlet and outlet valve can be integrated with the piston and with the guide element protruding into the guide portion of the piston, as a result of which the piston pump can be embodied with only a slightly greater structural length than the length of the piston.

  • Patent number: 6093003
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump with a piston received axially displaceably in a pump bore. To improve the aspiration performance of the piston pump. A cuff with a U-shaped annular cross section is provided, the cuff is inserted into the pump bore surrounding the piston, an outer lip forms a diaphragm, which rests against a wall of the pump bore and is acted upon on its outside with ambient pressure through a venting bore. The cuff is part of a fluid storage element, which makes an additional fluid volume available to the piston pump. The diaphragm acted upon by ambient pressure creates a pumping effect, if a fluid pressure in the fluid storage element drops below ambient pressure in an intake stroke of the piston.

  • Patent number: 6024421
    Abstract: A media divider has a divider piston, which is received in a cylinder bore and embodied as a tubular deep-drawn part. Two pairs of a sealing ring and an annular guide part disposed side by side are provided, whose axial spacing is defined by at least one spacer bushing disposed coaxially with the divider piston. The two pairs comprising the sealing ring and guide part as well as the spacer bushing may be axially fixed either in the cylinder bore or on the divider piston. The media divider may be used in the form of a plunger or as a reservoir in a fluid-carrying brake system.
