  • Patent number: 9620271
    Abstract: An actuator has an electrically conductive coil which has a longitudinal axis and a plurality of turns and a magnet arranged at a distance from the turns in radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis. The coil is partially covered by a central region of a first conducting element on a side which faces away from the magnet and the magnet is partially covered by a mid region of a second conducting element on a side facing away from the turns of the coil. The first conducting element projects beyond the coil and the second conducting element projects beyond the magnet in the direction of the longitudinal axis and there each have collar-like projections. The coil has a first winding turns region and a second winding turns region.

  • Patent number: 9608503
    Abstract: An actuator has an electrically conductive coil which has a longitudinal axis and windings through which a current can flow. The coil is surrounded by a highly permeable first ferromagnetic body so that the first body has projections of highly permeable ferromagnetic material above and below the coil in the longitudinal direction. The actuator has a magnet spaced apart from the coil so that a gap forms therebetween. The magnet is surrounded by a highly permeable second ferromagnetic body so that the second body has projections of highly permeable ferromagnetic material above and below the magnet in the longitudinal direction. The magnet is statically mounted with the second body and the coil is spring mounted with the first body so that the coil and first body oscillate in the longitudinal direction when an alternating current flows through the coil. The coil is outside the magnet perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 9172277
    Abstract: An actuator includes an electrically conductive coil defining a longitudinal axis (L) and having a plurality of winding turns. A magnet is spaced from the winding turns in radial direction. A first conductive element has a mid region covering the coil on a side thereof facing away from the magnet. A second conductive element has a mid region covering the magnet on a side thereof facing away from the winding turns of the coil. The first conductive element projects beyond the coil in axial direction and the second conductive element projects beyond the magnet also in axial direction. The first and second conductive elements have respective collar-shaped projections whereat the first and second conductive elements project beyond the coil and the magnet, respectively. At least one of the first and second conductive elements is made of soft-magnetic powder composite material.

  • Patent number: 8616537
    Abstract: A hydraulic mount includes a closable bypass and a decoupling membrane. When the bypass is opened, however, the main effect that can be achieved by opening the bypass, namely the decrease in the spring rate at higher frequencies, is worsened. It is thus desirable to render the decoupling membrane ineffective when the bypass is open. The aim is achieved in that the closure device of the bypass includes blocking elements for blocking the decoupling membrane in the first switching position of the closure device when the bypass is open and can be released in the second position of the closure device when the bypass is closed.

  • Publication number: 20060220448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a chassis bearing (1), in particular for the rear axle of a motor vehicle. The bearing includes an outer bearing sleeve (2), an inner bearing sleeve (3), an elastomer body (4) that is situated between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and two chambers (5, 6), which are located between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and are delimited at least partially by the elastomer body. The chambers are separated from one another and are positioned symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis (7) of the inner bearing sleeve. Each chamber has a stop (8, 9), which is located on a common transverse axis (10) of the inner bearing sleeve and is positioned at a distance from a corresponding counterstop surface (11, 12) inside the chamber.

  • Patent number: 6476702
    Abstract: Actuator including a ferromagnetic jacket and at least one magnet embedded in the jacket including a length, a first end, and a second end. Each of the first and second ends of the magnet include a surface which is at least partially covered by the jacket. A ferromagnetic core comprises a length, a first collar-like protrusion, and a second collar-like protrusion. An electrically conductive coil through which an electrical current may flow is mounted to the core. The coil comprises a length. The coil is arranged adjacent the magnet and separated from the magnet by a gap. The length of the magnet is greater than the length of the coil. At least one of the coil and the magnet is movably mounted. At least one of the coil and the magnet is statically mounted. One of the coil and the magnet is capable of vibrating while the other of the coil and the magnet remains static.
