  • Patent number: 11904381
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a gear worm (12) which is located in particular on an armature shaft (14) of an electromotive drive unit (10), wherein firstly a worm gear (20) having screw flanks (22) axially opposite one another on a longitudinal axis (18) is formed by means of a rolling tool, and subsequently a groove structure (24) which is concentric about the longitudinal axis (18) is formed on the screw flanks (22) by means of an additional process step. The invention also relates to a gear worm (12) produced according to the method according to the invention, and to a transmission drive unit (10) containing such a gear worm (12).

  • Patent number: 8857595
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load torque lock (1) comprising a sling element (12) that frictionally interacts with a brake component (13) for blocking a torque, and a drive wheel (14) that is coupled in a torque transferring manner to a carrier (15; 15a) having at least one contact area (25) to the sling element (12) and engaging axially in the drive wheel (14), by means of which a torque to be blocked can be initiated in the sling element (12). According to the invention, the carrier (15; 15a) has means for reducing the bending tension in the at least one contact region (25).

  • Publication number: 20130105270
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load torque lock (100) having a brake element (40) in particular designed as a torsional spring and frictionally interacting with a brake body (36) for locking a torque, and having a drive wheel preferably rotatably supported on an axle (17) and coupled to at least one pusher (20) interacting with the drive wheel (18) for transmitting a torque from a drive motor (12), wherein the pusher (20) comprises at least one contact region (32) to the brake element (40) by means of which a torque to be locked can be introduced into the braking body (36) by means of the brake element (40).
