  • Patent number: 11378136
    Abstract: A cord package supporting device for supporting a cord package wound with a cord, such as for an elastic joint disk for connecting two shaft portions, is disclosed. The cord package includes two opposite arcuate cord regions and two tangential cord regions that connect the arcuate cord regions to each other and extend parallel to each other. In embodiments, the cord package supporting device includes a first redirecting portion and a second redirecting portion, about which in each case one arcuate cord region of the cord package is guided. In embodiments, the two redirecting portions are integrally connected to each other via a web. An elastic joint disk and a method for producing an elastic joint disk are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220194203
    Abstract: A device for supporting a component in a vehicle including a support part having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a retaining part at the second end portion for connection to a damping element; a bearing mounting for receiving the component, which has a connection area for connection to a stop element and is arranged a distance from the support part in a radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis a stop element arranged in the radial direction between the load receptacle and support part, fixed to the connecting portion and comprising a stop surface facing the support part; and a damping element for damping vibrations, fixed to the stop element and support part. In embodiments, the stop element is supported by the damping element movably with respect to the support part in the radial direction and an axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20220170541
    Abstract: A decoupling ring suitable for a planetary gear is disclosed. A decoupling ring includes an annular elastomeric base body and elastomeric formations. In embodiments, the elastomeric formations are uniformly spaced apart from one another, project in the radial direction from the base body, and run parallel to a central longitudinal axis passing centrally through the decoupling ring. With embodiments of the decoupling ring it is possible for the decoupling ring to be arranged on the circumferential side of a ring gear of a planetary gear.

  • Patent number: 10150500
    Abstract: A vibration absorber comprising a supporting device, an oscillating mass, at least one coil device, and at least on permanent magnet device. The coil device includes at least one winding. A permanent magnet of the permanent magnet device generates a magnetic field extending through a yoke device of the permanent magnet device and through a part of the windings such that when current flows through the windings in a suitable manner, two forces are generated that act between the supporting device and the permanent magnet device and include an angle unequal to 0°.

  • Patent number: 9702429
    Abstract: A torsional vibration absorber comprising a hub for attachment to a shaft and an oscillating ring. The oscillating ring is disposed concentrically with the hub and, together with the hub, delimits an annular gap. The hub and the oscillating ring are connected via connecting members made from an elastomeric material. The connecting members are offset in a circumferential direction and disposed in the annular gap. The connecting members include a bead-shaped middle portion, which is connected to the oscillating ring and to the hub via thin webs.
