  • Coolant distribution device
    Patent number: 7673730
    Abstract: A coolant distribution device for a wet-running clutch device and comprising several coolant distribution surfaces along which coolant is conveyed outwards in the radial direction. In order to increase the service lifetime of a wet-running clutch device the coolant distribution surfaces are implemented so that the coolant conveyed outwards in the radial direction has different axial coolant spray-off points and/or coolant spray-off devices.

  • Device for modifying the wheel camber of a wheel on a motor vehicle
    Publication number: 20070080513
    Abstract: A device for modifying the wheel camber of a wheel (1) on a motor vehicle is provided, in which the heel (1) is pivotally mounted to a wheel carrier (5, 51) by a pivot bearing (4, 50). A pivoting plane is defined by the pivot bearing (4, 50) which extends in an approximately transverse manner to a central plane (E) of the wheel, the position of a virtual center of rotation (D) of the pivot bearing (4, 50) lying above the wheel contact plane and on a side of the central plane (E) of the wheel that faces toward the vehicle.
