Abstract: A series for an epicyclic gear train and a planet gear carrier consisting of a carrier base with a plurality of axial receptacles for bearing pins of planet gears and a depression for receiving an axial section of a pinion. The object of the present invention is to specify a planet gear carrier, which shifts the boundaries of the reduction range such that a greater variation of the reduction gear ratios is possible, wherein an economical process is used and reliable production is ensured. Also described is a series of planetary gear trains having the same properties. In the case of series, the number of components is in particular to be minimized by increasingly using common parts that can be combined with other common parts.

Abstract: A magnet assembly in an electric drive having a shaft. The assembly includes a permanent magnet bonded in plastic and having two protrusions. An adapter has two protrusions and two recesses. The end face of the shaft has two cavities, which receive the two adapter protrusions to mount the adapter to the shaft. The two protrusions of the magnet are received in the recesses in the adapter in order to mount the magnet to the adapter. In another embodiment the shaft has an outer circumferential surface. Here, the adapter has a recess of a first shape and a second recess for mounting the adapter onto the outer circumferential surface of the shaft and the permanent magnet has a protrusion shaped to mate with the first shape of the first recess in the adapter, and the first recess is configured to receive the protrusion to mount the magnet to the adapter.

Abstract: A stator of a three-phase electronically commutated DC motor, having a stator core, an insulating material body and a coil wire, wherein the stator core has a closed back iron and a plurality of stator poles pointing radially inwardly from the back iron, which contacts the insulating material body axially at the stator core, and covers both the back iron and also the stator poles. The stator is for a brushless DC motor designed in such a way that it is designed for a 48V on-board electrical system, being especially compact and nevertheless reliably preventing coil wires of different phases from touching each other and an economical production process being used.

Abstract: An electric motor for a fluid pump, in particular an oil pump, the electric motor comprising a housing in which a stator, a rotor, and a tapping plate are arranged, wherein the tapping plate comprises connecting contacts for the electrical connection to windings of the stator and connecting elements for connecting to an electronic control system and/or electronic positioning system, the tapping plate is formed or overmolded by a plastic material, and the stator is encased by an overmolding which forms a bearing seat for the rotor. The invention furthermore relates to a modular motor family for forming different, in particular differently powerful, fluid pumps comprising several brushless electric motors, wherein the individual electric motors differ from each other by different motor diameters and/or motor lengths and/or configuration variants. The invention furthermore relates to a production method for an electric motor.

Abstract: A magnet sensor assembly for use in an electric drive having a shaft with a shaft end. The magnet sensor assembly includes a magnet sensor having a permanent magnet bonded in plastic, an adapter, means for mounting the magnet sensor on the shaft end of the shaft, means for connecting the adapter to the magnet sensor and a force-fit connection for mounting the adapter on the shaft end. The invention provides a magnet sensor assembly which allows as simple a connection as possible to be established between a magnet sensor and a shaft end of a shaft or an inner ring of a rolling element bearing secured to the shaft, for which simple manufacturing and mounting methods may be used which are reliable.

Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor of an electric motor, consisting of a return body and a number of sintered permanent magnets distributed on the case of the return body at intervals, connected to a plastic mass filled with hard magnetic material. The objective of the present invention is to ensure that a generic permanent magnet rotor can be simply and economically produced, along with allowing a great degree of freedom regarding the design of the pole faces, wherein high rigidity and security of the mechanical connection between the permanent magnets and the return body are guaranteed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a milking parlor and a method for manufacturing same, the milking parlor comprising a work area for an operator and a platform elevated relative to the area, which forms a standing and walking area for the animals to be milked, the platform comprising a substructure on its side facing the work area where a utility space is left open beneath the standing and walking area, and wherein the substructure is formed by load-bearing elements positioned one after the other in the lengthwise direction and configured to be substantially identical.

Abstract: A method for milking animals in a group at a plurality of milking locations formed in a milking parlor, the method including the steps of manually applying, substantially successively, at each milking location a milking device to the udder of the animal to be milked and starting milking by a milking controller that controls the milking device. For adaptation to the individual needs of the milker, the present method suggests that a subsequent milking device of the milking parlor should be started in an automated manner in the order that corresponds to the order in which the milking device was attached and as a result of the starting of the preceding milking controller. The present method can be used for starting various milking phases, e.g.

Abstract: A milking parlor, milking module, and a closing unit comprising at least two closing members to optionally release or close a corresponding number of openings in a milking parlor floor which serves as a standing area. The closing members are disposed to be rotatable about a rotational axis at least between a closed position and an open position, wherein the open position allows at least one animal-related treatment means to be guided through said opening. Said rotational axis is disposed in a central region between the closing members.

Abstract: A milking station and a method of milking for improving hygiene at a milking station, including a device for removing contaminants stuck to the floor of an accommodating area, a device for producing a directed flow of the contaminants provided on the floor. The surface of the milking area is wetted by nozzles integrated in a region of the floor of the milking area before an animal is milked, dirt is washed away from the floor of the milking area after milking, and the floor is then automatically wetted once again.
