  • Patent number: 10473099
    Abstract: A modular system of reciprocating pumps is to be designed in such a way that any type of said reciprocating pumps can be economically assembled and tested on a flexible assembly device. The magnetic part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested separately and is overmolded with plastic material; the connection point to the pump part has a given connecting contour that allows different types of pump parts of the modular system to be connected; and the pump part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested for the displaced volume thereof. Feed pumps and metering pumps for fuels and aqueous reagents.

  • Patent number: 9435385
    Abstract: Object: Device comprising an electromagnet (1) and an actuating element (2) which is operated by said electromagnet and may be, for example, a valve or a clutch, wherein said components are connected to one another by means of threads (4) and (5), with protection of functional spaces in the components or of elastomeric seals against damage and adverse effects on functioning by particles from the threads. Solution: The electromagnet-side thread (4) and actuating element-side thread (5) are axially adjacent in both directions of chambers (6) and (7) which are closed off on in each case the side which is averted from the threads by overlapping cylinder surfaces (11) and (12) on one side and also by further overlapping cylinder surfaces (13) and (14) on the other side. Application: Actuating elements which are operated by an electromagnet.

  • Publication number: 20070013197
    Abstract: A part normally retained in a predetermined position is operated by a pyrotechnic actuator having a housing formed unitarily with a pivot, formed unitarily with mounts for securing the housing to a motor vehicle, and forming a chamber extending along an axis. A latch element is mounted on the pivot and movable thereon between a holding position retaining the part in the predetermined position and a releasing position allowing the part to move out of the predetermined position. A piston having a stem engageable with the latch element is movable axially in the chamber between an inner position with the latch element in the holding position and an outer position with the latch element in the releasing position. A pyrotechnic charge in the chamber is detonatable to shift the piston into the outer position and thereby shift the latch element into the releasing position.

  • Publication number: 20060237974
    Abstract: A device for locking and quickly unlocking of relatively movable parts has an actuator having an electromagnet with a movable core and a latch coupled or operatively connected on the one side to the actuator or the movable core and on the other side to the movable part, the latch having pawls pivotal on fixed axles. A fixedly mounted housing has a seat fitted to the actuator or the electromagnet such that the actuator or the electromagnet is held immobile and unmovably in the seat. The axles for the pawls of the latch are formed in the housing, and the housing has a cutout for engagement of one of the movable parts part and one of the pawls. A plug on the housing fits with external connecting means, and connecting parts on the housing connect the actuator to the plug on the housing.

  • Patent number: 6851372
    Abstract: A pyrotechnical actuator has a cylindrical housing surrounding a hollow chamber and a piston movably supported in the cylindrical housing. A piston rod is connected to the piston. A detonator is arranged within the hollow chamber and configured to produce a quantity of gas for moving the piston from an initial position in the cylindrical housing into an end position. The piston rod triggers an action when the piston moves into the end position or is positioned in the end position. The cylindrical housing is divided in a longitudinal direction of the cylindrical housing into housing parts. At least one holding element secures the housing parts relative to one another.
