Abstract: A cassette seal for sealing an annular gap between a shaft and a housing has an annular rotational member for mounting rotationally fast with the shaft and an annular stationary member for mounting to the housing. The stationary member has a sealing lip resiliently engaging the rotational member to form an oil seal between them. The rotational member has secondary sealing lips engaging the stationary member axially outboard of the oil sealing lip. The stationary member has a radially extending portion located axially outboard of the at least one secondary sealing lip. The rotational member comprises at least one exterior sealing lip extending radially outward and axially inward to engage an outward directed axial surface of the radially extending portion of the outer member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a variable-area flow meter with a measuring tube in which a float provided with at least one permanent magnet and movable by a fluid flowing through the measuring tube is arranged, and with an indicating device arranged outside the measuring tube, said indicating device comprising a magnet holder rotatably mounted about a rotation axis, said magnet holder holding at least one follower magnet that follows the movement of the permanent magnet, and having an indicating element which reflects the movement of the at least one follower magnet, wherein at least one follower magnet in the magnet holder is arranged in such a manner that its magnetic axis is inclined in relation to the rotation axis by an angle (?) not equal to 90°.

Abstract: A multi-plate disc brake has interleaved rotatable and non-rotatable brake discs (11) within a brake housing (13) and a ball and ramp type brake actuator (12) comprising first and second relatively rotatable annular actuator discs (20, 21) with actuator balls (22) therebetween located in circumferentially ramped pockets (20a, 21a) on opposing faces of the actuator discs. A wedge-shaped actuator member (23) has an actuating means (24A, 24B) to displace the actuator member between confronting abutments (20b, 21b) on the respective actuator discs to relatively rotate the discs to cause the balls to rise up the ramped pockets and hence expand the actuator axially to move the brake discs (11) into engagement. Cooling oil is supplied into the brake housing through the wedge-shaped actuator member (23) when the brake is engaged.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake mechanism (1) for agricultural utility vehicles. In the case of the brake mechanism (1), during a brake application an additional quantity of oil is supplied to a brake chamber (150) via an inlet manifold (180), which is fluidically connected to an oil chamber (130). The service brake is formed so that, when the service brake is operated, a first control element (120) is moved towards the brake elements (140, 141) in such a way that a brake chamber (150) is fluidically connected to the inlet manifold (180) and thus ensures an additional oil supply from the oil chamber (130).

Abstract: A brake mechanism for a utility vehicle which can be installed around a drive shaft or inside a wheel hub. The brake has a non rotatable fixed body (200), a rotatable body (100) rotatable relative to the fixed body (200), at least one brake disc (207) which is non-rotatably relative to the fixed body (200), and at least one rotating brake disc (107) which is fixed for rotation with the rotatable body (100). An actuating member (234) can press the fixed brake disc (207) and the rotating brake disc (107) against each other and against a stop surface (209) on the fixed body to apply the brake. A spring means (230) also exerts an immobilizing force on the actuating member (234) to press the fixed brake disc (207) and the rotating brake disc (107) against each other to apply the brake.
