Abstract: A valve for controlling a fluid, in particular for controlling a gas. The valve includes a valve housing which accommodates an electromagnetic actuating unit for a solenoid armature which is guided axially displaceably in the valve housing and which cooperates with a valve seat via a valve-closing member, so that a fluid stream from an inflow side to an outflow side of the valve is controllable. At least one lubricant chamber adjacent to the guide gap between the valve housing and the solenoid armature is provided.

Abstract: A sintered plain bearing for motors and gear drives, having a running surface formed by a bearing bore and capable of having lubricant applied to it from lubricant reservoirs in the bearing, in which the bearing bore has, alternatingly distributed over the circumference, high-compaction small-pore running surfaces and axially extending low-compaction open-pore lubricant reservoirs. Lubrication is improved, especially in the initial phases of operation, by the fact that the lubricant reservoirs are constituted by channel structures having at least two longitudinal channels, and that at least in some of the channel structures, some of the channel crests remaining between adjacent longitudinal channels are in contact with the shaft received by the bearing bore in order to transfer lubricant.

Abstract: A bearing for a driving shaft of an electrical machine is lubricated by a lubricant. Located between the bearing and rotating parts arranged on the driving shaft is a seal element for lubricant emerging from the bearing. The seal element is configured in the form of a slinger disk by which lubricant emerging from the bearing is returned to the bearing, thus resulting in a closed lubricant circulation. The slinger disk is produced entirely from an elastic material. Lubricant sent off from the slinger disk is returned directly to the bearing.
