Abstract: Various embodiments include a valve comprising a valve body including a valve seat; and a valve element movable along a longitudinal axis to close the on-off valve by sealing against the valve seat. The valve body includes a conical lateral surface. The valve body includes a radially extending spring projection which is resilient in an axial direction and projects radially beyond the lateral surface.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly comprising: a housing; a flange having a first and second flange side; and a collar extending into a connector opening of the flange. The flange includes a first assembly opening remote from the connector opening. The first assembly opening has a first peripheral portion contiguous with a first flange surface region and a second peripheral portion contiguous to a second flange surface region and closer to the connector opening than the first peripheral portion. A periphery of the connector opening on the second flange side and/or a surface region of the flange adjacent to the connector opening defines a geometric reference plane. The first flange surface region is more remote in comparison to the second flange surface region in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a fuel pump includes: a housing; and a flange for fastening the housing to an engine. The flange includes two mutually separated parts for encompassing one circumferential part-region of the housing with a housing receptacle clearance. Each of the two flange parts includes two flange connection regions disposed along a flange-bisecting axis opposite the housing receptacle clearance. A first flange connection region part includes a planar connection element disposed in a first flange plane and a second flange connection region of the flange part includes a connection element disposed in a second flange plane and projecting beyond the first flange plane. The planar connection element of the flange part engages in a form-fitting manner with the projecting connection element of another flange part. The projecting connection element of the flange part engages in a form-fitting manner with the planar connection element of the other flange part.

Abstract: A sensor unit for use in the multiphase flow of a harvesting machine, wherein the sensor unit exhibits sensors for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the sensor unit has at least one device for acquiring flow parameters of the multiphase flow. The measuring values of the sensor unit can advantageously be used for controlling the operating mode of the harvesting machine.
