Abstract: A method for producing a sintered component in the form of a workpiece having teeth, wherein crowning, with a central region and end regions, is formed in flanks of teeth, the tooth thickness being smaller in at least one of the end regions than in the central region of the flanks. In order to form the crowning, at least one pressing punch acts on the teeth, which are located in a die, along a first axis such that the teeth are sized at least to the central region by means of axial pressing.

Abstract: Hollow shafts, and particularly camshafts, are produced using an internal high-pressure forming (IHF) process. Cams and/or machine elements are mounted at intervals onto the outer surface of the hollow shaft, depending on the use of the latter, by a non-positive and/or positive fit, in a position appropriate to their function when the hollow shaft is placed in the forming tool. An element with approximately the same external diameter as the internal diameter of the hollow shaft is placed in at least one of the hollow shaft, and the hollow shaft together with the cams and/or machine elements that have been pushed onto the same and the inserted element are placed in an IHF tool. Once the IHF tool is closed, the medium is caused to act under the required high-pressure in the hollow shaft. At the same time as the medium is acting internally, at least one ram is pressed axially against at least one front face of the hollow shaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve body produced by powder metallurgical methods that exhibits high thermal and wear resistance and has the following composition by weight: 0.5% to 2.0% C; 5.0% to 16% Mo; 0.2% to 1.0% P; 0.1% to 1.4% Mn; 0% to 5% Cr; 0% to 5% S; 0% to 7% W; 0% to 3% V, <2% of other elements with the remainder being Fe. It also relates to a valve fitted with such valve body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a hollow shaft, in particular a camshaft according to an internal high-pressure forming (IHF) process. According to said method, cams and/or machine elements are mounted at intervals onto the outer surface of the hollow shaft, depending on the use of the latter, by a non-positive and/or positive fit, in a position appropriate to their function. The invention also relates to a hollow shaft produced according to said method. The invention aims to improve the efficiency of the method.

Abstract: In an electromagnet with sleeve-shaped magnet housing with integrated valve body, in particular for the actuating of valves, the pole core is developed as a separate part and is surrounded by the sleeve-shaped magnet housing. The magnet housing has inward-directed corrugations distributed uniformly over its circumference which serve as axial support for the pole core in the direction of the electric windings.
