  • Publication number: 20100163128
    Abstract: A hydraulic directional valve having an electromagnetic actuating unit and a valve section, an essentially cylindrical, blind hole-like receptacle being formed on one component of the actuating unit, a flange section of a valve housing of the valve section engaging in the receptacle, the flange section being provided with an angular groove which extends in a circumferential direction, and an essentially hollow cylindrical wall of the receptacle in the region of the annular groove engaging in said annular groove in such a way that it bears on the groove base of the annular groove, along the entire circumference of said annular groove. The torsional rigidity between the flange section and the wall is increased. In this context, particular emphasis is placed on processing reliability and economic viability of the connecting process.

  • Publication number: 20090205863
    Abstract: An electrical shielding arrangement of a high-voltage line has at least two coupling elements. The coupling elements each have a tubular control electrode about a line leadthrough and are surrounded by a barrier. Owing to the fact that the reduction in the diameters of the control electrode and the barrier is matched in relation to one another, a barrier decoupled in this way can be used for mechanically tensioning the coupling systems which have been pushed one inside the other.

  • Publication number: 20090200502
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator for a hydraulic directional control valve is provided. The electromagnetic actuator is used for adjusting a hydraulic directional control valve, for example, for the variable adjustment of the control times of an internal combustion engine. The electromagnetic actuator includes a housing (08) with which the electromagnetic actuator is mounted opposite the hydraulic directional control valve. The electromagnetic actuator further includes a coil (01) that is arranged in a coil body (03). The electromagnetic field that can be generated with the coil (01) acts on an armature (09) that is arranged in the electromagnetic actuator so that it can move axially. In order to prevent that the hydraulic medium of the hydraulic directional control valve leaks from reaching the electromagnetic actuator, the actuator includes a seal (13; 24) between the coil body (03) and the housing (08). The coil body has a holder (26, 28) for holding the seal (24).

  • Publication number: 20090159829
    Abstract: A control valve (14) for a device (1) for modifying the control times of gas exchange valves (110, 111) of an internal combustion engine (100) is provided. A check valve is arranged inside an annular groove (44) which is formed on one of the components of the control valve (14) and through which a pressurized medium flows. This reduces the assembly costs.

  • Publication number: 20090134349
    Abstract: A control valve for a hydraulic adjuster for the camshaft of an internal combustion engine is provided, wherein an actuator acts on a pressure part (12) embedded in a control piston (5). In order to prevent the piston (5) from being blocked in the valve housing by the expansion thereof caused by the pressure part embedment, the pressure part (12) and/or the control piston (5) is/are provided with radial recesses (34) in the embedment area (13) which make it possible to limit joining forces and the resulting radial expansion of the piston (5). Alternatively or in addition, the external surface of the control valve (5) has a reduced cross-section in the embedment area (13).

  • Patent number: 7487752
    Abstract: A control valve (18) for a device (1) to modify the timing of an internal combustion engine is provided. Here, a controlled rotation of the camshaft in reference to the crankshaft can be achieved via a hydraulic adjustment drive. A control valve (18) with operative connectors (A, B), a hydraulic connector (P), and at least one reservoir connector (T, T1, T2) controls the inflow of hydraulic fluid into and/or the outflow of hydraulic fluid out of the hydraulic adjustment drive. A filter (46) is arranged between the hydraulic connector (P) and the operative connectors (A, B).

  • Patent number: 7475660
    Abstract: An internal-combustion engine with a device for adjusting the rotational angle (camshaft adjuster (1)) of a camshaft (2) relative to a crankshaft is provided. The device comprises a driving wheel (3) connected in a rotationally locked way to the crankshaft, a driven part (6) connected in a rotationally locked way to the camshaft (2), and an adjusting mechanism, with which the phase position between the crankshaft and camshaft (2) can be set and maintained in a certain range of angles. A reduction of the required axial structural space of the camshaft adjuster (1) and the number of individual parts is achieved in that the driven part (6) is fixed to the camshaft (2) with a frictional, positive-fit, or interference-fit connection.

  • Publication number: 20090000805
    Abstract: A barrier system for a line leadthrough in an electric installation has mutually adjacent wall elements forming barriers that extend in an axial longitudinal direction and are spaced apart from each other, forming channels. The wall elements lie partially on a support, at least at their lower ends. The wall elements are joined by a plug element to the leadthrough. Slots having a width which corresponds to the wall thickness of the wall elements are arranged in the plug element. The wall elements can be inserted into the slots, thus permitting a barrier system to be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled.
