  • Patent number: 10786079
    Abstract: A guidance system including a guide rail and a sliding element rail, and designed to movably connect a linearly movable sliding element to a body. A carriage is arranged between the rails so that the sliding element rail is movable relative to the guide rail. The guide rail includes a running surface on a top side and/or on a bottom side. A movement element of the carriage is movably guided on the running surface. The top side of the guide rail is provided opposite to and spaced apart from the bottom side of the guide rail. The guide rail has a recess on the top side and/or on the bottom side in an end segment of the guide rail, through which a bearing body protrudes, and attachment means are provided in the area of the recess in order to mount the bearing body.

  • Patent number: 7365460
    Abstract: In a plurality of stator coils arranged on the yoke, each coil has a pair of ends, each end being adjacent to a respective end of an adjacent coil to form pairs of adjacent ends. A plurality of mutually insulated concentrically arranged linking conductors each has a plurality of circumferentially arranged terminal elements, each terminal element being electrically connected to a respective pair of adjacent ends to form a contact area in a common axial and radial position.

  • Patent number: 6394924
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine with a crankshaft which can be connected, via an interposed clutch, to a gearbox input shaft of a change-speed gearbox, and having an electric machine—for example an electric motor or a starter-generator—which is provided in the drive arrangement and which has a stator and a rotor. The electric machine, in order to step down its rotational speed, is operatively connected to the crankshaft and/or the gearbox input shaft via a step-down gear mechanism. The step-down gear mechanism is designed as an epicyclic gear mechanism, which has a sun gear, an internal gear and a number of planet gears. The epicyclic gear mechanism can be switched or clutch-operated via two clutches.

  • Patent number: 6361469
    Abstract: A parking lock for a vehicle having an electrical drive train including an electric machine with a rotor, a stator having a plurality of stator windings, and power electronics for controlling the electric machine, and a transmission prevents the vehicle from rolling away inadvertently. The parking lock has a mechanical component which is mechanically operatively connected to the rotor when the parking lock is operated to stop rotation of this rotor. The mechanical component has a ratchet wheel and a toothed catch. Furthermore, the parking lock has an electrical component designed such that it produces a short-circuit in the stator windings, at least temporarily, when it is intended to operate the parking lock. When the parking lock is operated, the electrical component is thus activated in a specific time interval before operation of the mechanical component. The short-circuit in the stator windings produces a severe braking torque, which brakes the rotor.
