  • Patent number: 11670925
    Abstract: An example threaded cable connector for a cable with a conductor and a surrounding shielding braid, comprising a base element, a first tightening nut and a first clamping element is presented herein. The base element includes a base for fastening the base element to a housing and a passage opening for the passage of the cable about which an encircling first thread is oriented. On a side facing away from the housing, the base element has a contact surface encircling the passage opening. The first tightening nut comprises a second thread for operatively connecting the first tightening nut to the first thread of the base element. The first clamping element has a first clamping surface and, in the mounted state, is arranged between the contact surface and the first tightening nut. The first clamping element, in the mounted state, presses the shielding braid against the contact surface.

  • Patent number: 10934967
    Abstract: An insert for a cylinder liner which is capable of trapping heat in the combustion chamber is provided. The insert extends circumferentially around a center axis and longitudinally from an upper end to a lower end. The insert includes an inner portion presenting an inner surface facing the center axis and an outer portion presenting an outer surface facing away from the center axis. The inner portion is formed of an iron-based material, such as steel, and the outer portion is formed of a material having a thermal conductivity of not greater than 3.5 W/mK, for example ceria stabilized zirconia. The inner and outer portions each present a thickness, and the thickness can form a gradient between the upper end and the lower end of the insert. For example, the thickness of the outer portion can be greater at the upper end than at the lower end of the insert.

  • Patent number: 10267436
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device for holding a cable, comprising a sleeve-shaped base part (1), a connection part (2) that can be connected to the base part (1), and a clamp part (3) which can be elastically clamped and is disposed between base part (1) and connection part (2). The clamp part (3) comprises elastically clampable clamp braces (7) for embracing a cable and at least one clamping wing (9) that protrudes in an arc-shaped manner from a clamp brace (7) and supports the clamp part (3) in an elastically clamped manner on an inner circumferential surface of the base part (1). The clamp braces (7) and the clamping wings (9) of the clamp part (3) are in continuous contact with each other.
