  • Patent number: 12723671
    Abstract: A system and method for regulating a flow of a fluid, wherein the system comprises a regulating device and a central axis, wherein the regulating device is adapted to establish at least one through-passage opening for the fluid, wherein a normal vector of a cross sectional area of the at least one through-passage opening is oriented parallel to the axis, wherein a size of the cross-sectional area is adjusted in dependence on the rotary speed of the regulating device turning about the central axis.

  • Publication number: 20260029047
    Abstract: A vehicle axle for a two-track vehicle may include a transmission which has an axle differential from output sides of which axle shafts are led to vehicle wheels. For axle-differential lubrication, a lubricant is able to be guided into the housing interior space of a differential housing of the axle differential via at least one housing opening of the differential housing. The axle-differential lubrication may be by way of lubricant ejection of an adjacent rotating transmission component. During the axle-differential lubrication, lubricant drops are able to be cast from the transmission component into the housing interior space of the differential housing through the housing opening of the differential housing under the action of centrifugal force.

  • Patent number: 12276353
    Abstract: A system and method for regulating a flow of a fluid, wherein the system comprises a regulating device and a central axis, wherein the regulating device is adapted to establish at least one through-passage opening for the fluid, wherein each time a through-passage opening is situated between two transport ducts for the fluid, wherein a normal vector of a cross sectional surface of the at least one through-passage opening is oriented parallel to the axis, wherein a size of the cross-sectional surface is adjusted in dependence on the rotary speed of the regulating device turning about the central axis.
