  • Patent number: 9709100
    Abstract: A component that is to be mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation and transmits torque along with a rotating partner includes a first serration that extends about the axis of rotation and is to mesh with the rotating partner which has an adequate second serration mating with the first serration. The first serration has a plurality of teeth which have tooth tips extending substantially in the direction of the axis of rotation and tooth valleys located between the tooth tips. The tooth tips of the first serration each have a meshing edge forming a first line, while the tooth valleys located between the teeth each define a second line. At least two adjacent second lines intersect at an imaginary point lying between the axis of rotation and the maximum circumference of the first serration, in the semicircular surface beyond the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 8038540
    Abstract: The apparatus relates to a vibration absorber for mounting onto the outer circumference of a rotating shaft or axis having an inner part (3) of substantially resilient material for abutting against the outer circumference of the shaft or axis, and an outer part (2, 2?), which comprises at least two segments (2, 2a, 2b), that grips around the inner part and abuts it vibratingly, and serves as an inertial mass member. The segments (2, 2a, 2b) are configured at their two ends in the circumferential direction with connecting members (5a, 5b, 5a?, 5b?, 6a, 6b, 6a?, 6b?) formed integrally therewith for establishing a mutual latching connection.
