Abstract: An electromechanical spreader device for a drum brake of a vehicle, comprising an electric motor with an output, a cam disc connected to the output so as to transmit torque and is arranged between two actuating elements for simultaneously actuating the two actuating elements during a braking action. The cam disc is connected to an actuating disc of a stepping gear so as to transmit torque. The stepping gear is connected to a second of the two actuating elements so as to transmit force, such that the second actuating element is adjustable via rotation of the cam disc in an engagement angle of rotation range, in which the actuating disc is in torque-transmitting engagement with a remaining part of the stepping gear, and is adjustable away from the brake shoe in the opposite direction in the engagement angle of rotation range via rotation of the cam disc.

Abstract: A valve assembly for controlling an apparatus for camshaft timing adjustment being driven by a hydraulic pump, having a valve body with a first control port, a second control port, a high pressure port and a low pressure port, the valve assembly having a first state for enabling a flow of a hydraulic fluid from the high pressure port to the first control port and from the second control port to the low pressure port, respectively, and a second state for enabling a flow of the hydraulic fluid from the high pressure port to the second control port and from the first control port to the low pressure port, respectively. The valve body has central actuating through-hole extending axially through the valve body defining an axial direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for camshaft timing adjustment, having a drive disc and a hub rotationally supported relative to each other and defining a common rotational axis wherein the hub is arranged within the drive disc or vice versa, a vane being accommodated in an adjusting chamber defined by the drive disc and the hub and separating the adjusting chamber into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, wherein the vane is attached to the hub or the drive disc, a hydraulic pump having a high pressure pump chamber, a low pressure pump chamber and a pump for pumping a hydraulic fluid from the low pressure pump chamber to the high pressure pump chamber, each pump chamber being fluidly connected to the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber.

Abstract: An electromechanical device, having an actuator drive, which may be electrically actuated with the aid of a controller, and an actuator, which may be driven with the aid of the actuator drive and includes a housing, the actuator drive including an electric motor and a transmission, and the actuator drive having at least one electric line for electrical connection to the controller, and the electric motor being connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the actuator with the aid of the transmission. To improve an electromechanical device, it is proposed that the actuator drive is arranged entirely in the housing of the actuator up to the electric line.

Abstract: An actuating device for a camshaft timing apparatus, having a movable actuating member being supported displaceable along a translational axis, and a force generator for generating a force driving the actuating member along the translational axis, wherein the actuating member is supported rotatable about a rotational axis and wherein the actuating device comprises a torque generator for subjecting the actuating member to a torque about the rotational axis.

Abstract: A clutch actuation mechanism for actuating a clutch operator of a spring loaded friction clutch having at least a motor driven rotary disc for being connected to the clutch operator enables to operate the motor with an essentially constant and reduced torque, if a pin is attached to the disc with an offset from the disc's rotary axis, and if a lever has a curved contacting surface and if a spring forces the lever with its contacting surface against the pin to thereby provide an additional torque to the disc. Thus, the pin travels over the contacting surface when the disc rotates to open or close the spring loaded clutch via the clutch operator and the curvature enables to adapt the torque provided by the spring to the torque required to compensate for the clutch spring.
