Patent number: 8943916Abstract: A chassis actuator adjusting a movably mounted component of a chassis, which has a first actuator component connected to the movably mounted component and a second actuator component connected to a fixed chassis component. The actuator components are adjustable axially by a ball screw that has a threaded spindle and a nut which runs on spindle. The nut is driveable by a drive motor that has a rotor coupled to the nut and a fixed stator arranged axially symmetrically with respect to the nut. The rotor is coupled to the nut by a wrap spring which radially surrounds the nut and via which the nut is rotated during rotation of the rotor and which forms a brake device. The brake device can be actuated by an external chassis force which acts on and rotates the nut and builds up a friction moment that counteracts the rotation of the nut.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Juergen Osterlaenger, Mark Lauger, Thomas Mehlis

Patent number: 8205519Abstract: A ball screw drive which has a ball nut arranged on a spindle. The ball nut has a nut element and a deflecting element that deflects balls out of one end of an endless ball channel defined by the ball nut and the spindle to a beginning of the ball channel. The deflecting element is retained on the nut element through a clip. At least one clip leg of the clip has a first, resiliently biased section and a second section separated from the first section by a slit. The first section resiliently suspends the deflecting element on the nut element and the second section retains the clip inseparably on the deflecting element.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
