  • Patent number: 10619653
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic linear actuator comprises a housing consisting of a tubular profile, which forms a housing shell and in which there is a plurality of cavities, and which is closed at the ends by two housing covers fitted to the ends of the housing shell. A first cavity of the tubular profile forms a cylinder which forms the hydraulic cylinder of a double-acting synchronous cylinder and a second cavity which extends parallel to the first cavity accommodates a hydraulic unit in addition to the hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic oil reservoir is formed in said second cavity. Two working chambers of the hydraulic cylinder are separated from each other by a piston unit. The housing has at least one through-hole for a coupling element which forms a mechanical interface with the piston unit. The electric motor of the hydraulic unit is configured as a brushless outrunner motor.

  • Patent number: 5894916
    Abstract: A friction clutch wherein stray axial and/or radial and/or angular movements of the pressure plate relative to the counterpressure plate, clutch disc, clutch housing and/or clutch spring are opposed by a damper having prestressed resilient portions forming part of a sensor, which latter abuts the clutch spring, and bearing against a finished, partly finished or rough-finished internal surface of the pressure plate. The sensor forms part of a unit which automatically compensates for wear upon the pressure plate, counterpressure plate, clutch spring and/or friction linings of the clutch disc in response to repeated engagement and disengagement of the friction clutch.
