Abstract: The invention describes a switchable clutch for a motor vehicle with hybrid drive, wherein the hybrid drive has a voltage system with a voltage exceeding the 12-volt on-board electrical system voltage of the motor vehicle, composed of a friction disk clutch with an actuator, which can have electricity applied to it, for the actuation of the friction disk clutch in the sense of opening or closing, and wherein the actuator can be actuated with a voltage of the voltage system of the hybrid drive, said voltage exceeding the 12-volt on-board electrical system voltage of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clutch arrangement for coupling a first clutch section to a second clutch section. The clutch arrangement has at least one pin-shaped shift element mounted so as to be movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof by the first clutch section between an engaged position, in which the two clutch sections are coupled for conjoint rotation by means of the shift element, and a disengaged position, in which the two clutch sections are decoupled from one another. Also provided is a spring, which acts at least indirectly on the shift element and preloads the latter in the direction of the engaged or disengaged position, whereas an electromagnet serves to move the shift element counter to the preloading effect of the spring in the energized state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for actuating a clutch-controlled transfer case having a two-stage intermediate gearing and a clutch-controlled transfer case that has a two-stage intermediate gearing and that is equipped with such a device.

Abstract: A transfer case for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing, an input shaft, a first output shaft, which is arranged substantially coaxially with the input shaft and is operatively drive-connected to the input shaft, a second output shaft, which is arranged offset in relation to the input shaft and which is or can be operatively drive-connected to the input shaft via an offset mechanism, in the form of a flexible traction drive, and via a clutch unit, an actuator unit which serves for actuating the clutch unit, the actuator unit comprising a ramp mechanism having a first ramp disk fixed to the housing and a second, axially displaceable ramp disk, and a carrier shaft which is embodied as a hollow shaft and which at least partially encloses the input shaft, the carrier shaft being rotatably supported on the first ramp disk via a radial bearing.

Abstract: Cable processing equipment for removing a screening film from a screened multi-core round cable includes four knives radially movable relative to the cable for cutting into the screening film. In that case, each knife is associated with a cable core of the round cable. The knives have concavely formed cutting edges and guide elements, which guide elements have guide sections in which the cable cores encased by the screening film are receivable. The knives protrude relative to the guide elements in the region of the guide sections by a projection length. The guide sections have a concave circularly cylindrical shape and form a concave abutment surface for the cable cores.

Abstract: A tube mat comprises a plurality of tube portions having a tube longitudinal axis in each case and at least one web portion connecting two tube portions, the tube mat being produced in one piece.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for an oxygenator comprises multiple tube sections, each having a longitudinal tube axis, wherein the tube sections are disposed as a bundle having a longitudinal bundle axis, and the tube sections are connected to each other in at least one connecting section of the bundle by joining by way of chemical and/or physical bonded joints. A method for producing the heat exchanger is also provided.

Abstract: A uniformly illuminated surface is visually attractive. When large in size, such a surface is likely to create a lasting impression on a viewer, and can be effective as a marketing or branding tool. In the lighting system of the present invention, diffuser shields are used to disperse light from a lamp of a lighting unit onto a projection side of a translucent surface. The light is further dispersed by the surface, causing uniform illumination of the surface when viewed from the opposite viewing side of the surface. When a number of lighting systems of the present invention are appropriately placed in relation to each other and the surface, those systems can be used to provide uniform illumination of one or more surfaces, irrespective of their size or shape.

Abstract: In order to be able to process a coaxial cable (12), it is proposed that the insulated end (10) of the cable (12) is inserted in a groove (20) of a rotating cylinder (30) and the cylinder (30) is turned and thus the shielding (16) and at any event a metal foil (17) located inside the shielding is widened carefully so that a sleeve or similar can be pushed between this and the conductor (14).

Abstract: A finishing installation for cables includes a cable unit, a cable feeder and finishing units. The leading cable end is seized by a loop-laying device and turned horizontally through 180°. At the same time, the cable is advanced by a cable-advancing device and straightened by the straightening path. An encoder measures the length of the advanced cable, while a cable loop is formed during the advancing of the cable. For the taking-over, feeding and delivery of cable ends, the cable feeder has a first transfer unit, which is displaceable along a transfer guide, with a first gripper unit and a second transfer unit, which is displaceable along the transfer guide, with a second gripper unit. Control equipment controls and monitors the finishing installation, wherein the movements of, in particular, the transfer equipment and the gripper units are freely programmable.
