  • Patent number: 10041820
    Abstract: An integration element including a shaft and a housing, wherein the housing includes a passage for the shaft and the shaft includes connecting elements on the shaft ends which are accessible from outside the housing, these elements providing a rotationally-fixed connection to connecting shafts. The housing has at least one connection for fastening to a connection structure and the shaft together with the housing delimits a measuring equipment space for receiving measuring equipment. The housing is formed by at least two housing parts detachably connected to each other, said housing parts being designed to be separated around the full extent of their circumference surrounding the shaft to allow access to the measuring equipment space. The housing has bearing seats for shaft bearings and these shaft bearings support the shaft in a rotatable manner with respect to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9371866
    Abstract: A wet clutch for a motorcycle having an outer basket having a first toothing as the input side of the wet clutch, an inner basket which is coaxial to the outer basket having a second toothing as the output side of the wet clutch, first frictional elements which are torsionally connected to the outer basket, second frictional elements which are torsionally connected to the inner basket, the first and second frictional elements being situated axially alternating between the inner basket and the outer basket, and a clamping element to compress the first and second frictional elements axially in order to produce a torsional connection between the input side and the output side. The inner basket and/or the outer basket can essentially be produced from one or more sheet metal parts.

  • Publication number: 20150377724
    Abstract: A torque measuring device, in particular suitable for a bottom bracket (1), including an inner shaft (2) provided as a drive shaft, and a hollow shaft (3) provided as a driven shaft, which hollow shaft is connected to the inner shaft (2) and surrounds the same coaxially. The hollow shaft (3) has a direct coating that forms a strain gauge (5) for the torque measurement.

  • Patent number: 7419339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drill thread milling cutter (1) for producing a bore and for the subsequent milling of a thread in the bore, said drill thread milling cutter (1) having a working region (2), on the circumference (3) of which a number of drilling and milling cutting edges are arranged. A number of milling cutting edges (7, 8, 9, 10) greater than the number of drilling cutting edges (17) by a factor greater than 2 are arranged or are effective in the direction of rotation.

  • Patent number: 6708987
    Abstract: A clamping device for the releasable fastening of a part (grinding wheel 1) on a shaft has a clamping nut (3) which can be screwed onto the shaft and is intended for clamping the part in place. A chamber (9) is provided between a pressure member (load piston 5) for bearing against the part (grinding wheel 1) and the clamping nut (3), this chamber (9) containing a hydraulic pressure medium (silicone oil 11). Furthermore, an escape space (15) which can be connected to the chamber (9) is provided for the hydraulic pressure medium in order to remove the clamping pressure from the grinding wheel (1).
