  • Patent number: 8893386
    Abstract: A method for backing the inside teeth (2) of a sliding sleeve (3) produced by way of powder metallurgy for a manual transmission is described where the backings (1) of the teeth (4) forming the front-side pitches (9) are formed with the aid of a rolling tool (5) by back rolling accompanied by plastic deformation of material from the backing region. In order to prevent burr formation, it is proposed that the front-side tooth sections (8) delimited by the backings (1) are simultaneously calibrated whilst forming and/or calibrating the relevant pitches (9) with the aid of the rolling tool (5) for forming the backings (1).

  • Patent number: 8545199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane pump (1), in particular a regulatable oil pump for a lubricating system, with a pump housing (2) with at least one housing tank (6) and with a vane rotor (11) disposed in the housing tank (6) mounted so that it can be rotated by means of a drive shaft (10) in the pump housing (2) constituting an axis of rotation (23) which provides a mount for vanes (15) in approximately radially extending fitting slots (14). An adjusting ring (27) is provided enclosing the vane rotor (11) and circumferentially bounding pump cells (26) which, by means of a cylindrical internal wall surface (31), can be displaced between a concentric position with respect to the vane rotor (11) and an eccentric position relative thereto, to which pressured is applied by positioning torques caused by the medium pressure and a positioning mechanism (47) in order to regulate a pressure level.

  • Patent number: 8528435
    Abstract: A power assist element for arrangement in a synchronizer hub of a transmission synchronization device includes a base body, which has a height, a longitudinal extension and a lateral extension, and which in the direction of the longitudinal extension comprises includes two opposite, distal end sections. In at least one end section a functional surface is formed, which in the installed state cooperates with the synchronizer hub. On the base body between the two distal end sections a central elevation is formed for engagement in a sliding sleeve groove on a bottom of a sliding sleeve. The central elevation includes at least one additional functional surface which can be brought into active connection with the sliding sleeve. The functional surface in the distal end section(s) is at an acute angle to the greatest longitudinal extension of the base body and oriented at an angle to the longitudinal extension.

  • Patent number: 8016511
    Abstract: A metallic structural part is described which is joined from at least two components (1, 2), of which one component (1) comprises a hub-like nose (3) for receiving the other annular component (2) without play, which is placed on the nose (3) so as to be stopped there and is secured against axial withdrawal by a latching ring which engages in a circular latching recess (8) of one of the two components (1, 2). In order to provide simple constructional conditions it is proposed that the latching ring engaging in the latching recess (8) of the one component (1) consists of a radially projecting ring segment (7) of the other component (2) and that the radial projecting portion (r) of the ring segment (7) corresponds at most to the magnitude of the maximum elastic deformation of the ring segment (7) in the radial direction.
