  • Publication number: 20240077336
    Abstract: An inductive linear displacement sensor arrangement includes a movable coupling device coupled to a movable body, an electrically conductive coupling element, and a stationary circuit carrier. The circuit carrier includes an excitation structure and a receiving structure, which extend along a displacement path of the coupling device. An evaluation and control unit is designed to evaluate a measurement signal induced in the receiving structure and to determine the current position of the coupling device and of the body. The coupling device comprises a slider on which the electrically conductive coupling element is arranged. The slider is mounted for sliding movement in a plane of displacement via the path of displacement of the coupling device on two parallel guide elements, one of which guides the slider of the coupling device along the displacement path, and another of which is a sliding guide which prevents the slider from tilting and/or twisting.

  • Publication number: 20070101976
    Abstract: An ignition coil has an ignition coil housing having a core and coil forms situated within it. In order to fill in the gaps between the components in the ignition coil housing using a cast resin used as insulation, the invention provides to introduce the latter either by a hollow needle or a riser directly into the bottom region of the ignition coil housing. The method described herein allows for a homogeneous material distribution of the cast resin and avoids inclusions of foreign particles or gases in the ignition coil housing.

  • Patent number: 5875767
    Abstract: An ignition coil arrangement for internal combustion engines is embodied so that a housing of an individual ignition coil can be produced economically, and attachment of the ignition coil can be accomplished easily. The ignition coil is configured as a rod-type ignition coil, and the housing is of basically cylindrical shape, since a holding element for fastening the ignition coil is configured in the high-voltage output of the ignition coil itself. Assembly and retention of the ignition coil are accomplished by a direct threaded connection on the high-voltage terminal of a spark plug. For rotational immobilization, a primary terminal of the ignition coil is coupled to a fastenable mating plug as a joining member. The ignition coil arrangement is preferably used in motor vehicles.
