  • Patent number: 11703114
    Abstract: The invention relates to a differential or transfer gearbox (10) in a motor vehicle, a method of production and the use of the differential or transfer gearbox (10). The differential or transfer gearbox (10) comprises a differential case (12) in which differential side gears (18, 20) and differential gears (22, 24) are accommodated. Each differential side gear (18) drives a first axle shaft (14) or a second axle shaft (16). A ring gear (32, 60) is driven by an input shaft (34) and mounted for conjoint rotation with the differential case (12). The ring gear (32, 60) is interlockingly connected to the differential case (12) of the differential or transfer gearbox (10).

  • Patent number: 9712029
    Abstract: A holding element (68, 82) for attaching magnets (62) to a rotor (20) of an electrical machine (10). This electrical machine is, in particular, designed as an AC generator and comprises intermediate spaces (60) between the individual poles (24, 25). The holding element (68, 82) comprises a top side (72) and spring lugs (70) which axially fix the magnets (62). The holding element (68, 82) has claw-like projections (74) which bear against flanks (80) of the poles (24, 25) when the holding element (68, 82) is in the fitted state.

  • Patent number: 9124164
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine (10), in particular a generator for a motor vehicle, comprising an exciter system composed of a plurality of electrically excited salient poles. The salient poles can be designed within the stator (16) or rotor (20) in the form of electromagnetically excited poles (22, 23; 24, 25) which are axially and radially oriented on the periphery and are alternatively polarized in the peripheral direction. In order to improve performance and reduce the magnetic leakage flux, permanent magnets (66), which are secured by means of a magnetically non-excitable holding element (60), are inserted into interstices (74) between the alternating poles (24, 25). The holding element (60) is bilaterally mounted in pole grooves (92, 94), is radially, axially, and tangentially resilient, and has a wave-shaped (62) and/or bead-shaped (76, 78; 86) profile.

  • Patent number: 6219604
    Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system comprised of an electronically regulated steering positioner mounted to the steering gear of the front axle or to both front wheels of a vehicle together with an electronic steering regulator and a feedback actuator. A sensor senses the driver's selected direction from the steering wheel. Road feedback can be relayed to the driver through a feedback actuator via the steering wheel. The loss of road feel caused by the absence of the steering column, which normally strongly influences the driver's directional wish, is recreated by the feedback actuator.
