  • Patent number: 11962218
    Abstract: An electrical machine including a stator, a rotor and a bearing arrangement having a first bearing and a second bearing on opposite sides of the stator as well as a shielding arrangement comprising a first shielding unit and a second shielding unit. The rotor is rotatably supported around a rotation axis by means of bearings. The shielding units are electrically conductive and comprise a ring part in each case that extends originating from a radial inner end to a radial outer end away from the rotation axis. Preferably each shielding unit has a circumferential part on its radial outer end that extends in a continuous ring-shaped manner around rotation axis and is arranged in overlapping manner with the adjacent axial end of stator winding in axial direction. The circumferential parts are preferably completely closed, whereas the ring parts can comprise through holes.

  • Patent number: 10989139
    Abstract: A crankcase for a reciprocating piston engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes at least first one wall region that has a greater wall thickness than at least one second wall region of the crankcase that adjoins the first wall region. The crankcase is produced from an aluminum alloy and by at least mainly laminar die casting and is heat-treated completely or heat-treated completely and additionally locally or heat-treated only locally.

  • Patent number: 10087879
    Abstract: A cylinder head device for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head having a first receiving region arranged on an inlet side of the cylinder head for at least one first camshaft to be mounted on the cylinder head, and at least one second receiving region arranged on an outlet side of the cylinder head which faces away from the inlet side for at least one second camshaft to be mounted on the cylinder head. The receiving regions are separated from one another at least in certain areas by an intermediate wall of the cylinder head which is arranged at least in certain areas between the receiving regions. A duct element, by means of which at least one element of the cylinder head device can be supplied with lubricant, runs in the intermediate wall.

  • Publication number: 20140326215
    Abstract: An arrangement of an air supply device on a cylinder head for an internal combustion engine involves the air supply device including an intake device for distributing air, which is to be supplied to combustion chambers of the engine, and a compressor for compressing the air. The compressor is fluidically connected to the intake device via an air duct element. The air supply device is mounted on the cylinder head and extends over the cylinder head from the intake device situated on an air side of the cylinder head, via the air duct element, to the compressor situated on an exhaust gas side of the cylinder head, forming an intermediate space that is delimited by the intake device, the air duct element, and the compressor. The cylinder head is at least partially situated in this intermediate space.

  • Patent number: 8851036
    Abstract: In an internal combustion engine comprising a plurality of cylinders with at least one cylinder head including inlet channels extending from an inlet flange surface to a cylinder inlet and outlet channels extending from a cylinder outlet to an opening in an outlet flange surface and an oil chamber provided in the cylinder head for supplying lubricant to an actuation device for gas exchange valves, the inlet flange and the outlet flange have flat surfaces which are arranged at an angle relatively to each other so that the surface planes intersect above the cylinder head and the cylinder head, as a result, has an essentially triangular cross-section.
