  • Publication number: 20250101978
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tandem pump (1) for an electric axle of a motor vehicle, comprising a dry sump flow (2) via which hydraulic fluid can be delivered from a transmission chamber into a hydraulic chamber, and a main flow (3) via which hydraulic fluid can be delivered from the hydraulic chamber to a hydraulic consumer, wherein the dry sump flow (2) and the main flow (3) are formed by types of pumps having different inflow directions.

  • Publication number: 20240288070
    Abstract: An actuator for a parking lock includes an axial drive means for transmitting an axial force, an actuation element which can be axially moved from a first position into a second position via the axial force of the axial drive means, a stopper element, a stopper component which corresponds to the stopper element, and a holding element which can be moved between a released position and a locking position. The stopper element and the stopper component are fixed to each other when the actuation element is located in the second position while the holding element is in the locking position. A lifting magnet is provided, comprising a coil and a lifting piston, which can be axially moved via a magnetic force that can be generated by the coil. The holding element can be rigidly connected to the axially movable lifting piston.

  • Publication number: 20240271698
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an actuator for a parking lock having: an actuation element configured to be axially moved from a normal position to a deflected position; a first energy storage element for transmitting a stored force, the actuation element forced in a direction of the normal position by the stored force; a stopper element; a stopper component; and a holding element configured to be moved between a released position and a locking position. The stopper element and the stopper component are fixed to each other when the actuation element is in the deflected position while the holding element is in the locking position, and the actuation element is held in the deflected position against the stored force of the first energy storage element via the stopper element fixed in the locking position by the holding element. A second energy storage element passively holds the holding element in the locking position.

  • Patent number: 12013034
    Abstract: A park lock actuation system for a motor vehicle includes an actuating element and a blocking element. The actuating element is translatable by hydraulic actuation from a locking position, in which a park lock coupled with the actuating element is active, to an unlocking position, in which the park lock is inactive, when a first hydraulic pressure value is exceeded. The blocking element is formed as a transverse slide and is movable, by hydraulic actuation, from an unblocking position, in which the actuating element is translatable between the locking position and the unlocking position, to a blocking position, in which the blocking element fixes the actuating element in the unlocking position in a form-fitting manner, when a second pressure value, higher than the first hydraulic pressure value, is exceeded.
