Patent number: 9346128Abstract: A method for producing a pattern of depressions in the friction surface of a friction component for a frictionally operating device, preferably a multiplate clutch or multiplate brake. After the preparation of the friction component, the pattern of depressions is produced by nontraditional material removal, removal of material preferably being accomplished in a contactless manner, particularly preferably with the aid of a laser beam.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Ludwig Hermann Moch, Norbert Bastel, Erik Sulzer

Patent number: 7252593Abstract: A torsional-vibration damper rotatably supported for translating torque between a prime mover and the input of a transmission that includes a primary element operatively connected for rotation with the power take off of a prime mover and a secondary element operatively connected for rotation with the input to a transmission. A spring mechanism is operatively disposed between the primary element and the secondary element that is adapted to operatively couple the primary element to the secondary element in a damped torque translational relationship. The torsional-vibration damper also includes a friction device having a plurality of friction blocks that are each operatively supported between the primary element and the secondary element such that the friction blocks provide frictional contact between the primary element and the secondary element.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2004Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Juergen Kroll, Norbert Bastel, Till Ebner

Patent number: 7238112Abstract: A torsional-vibration damper includes a primary element operatively connected for rotation with a prime mover and a secondary element operatively connected with the input to a transmission. A spring mechanism is operatively disposed between and adapted to control the primary element and the secondary element in damped torque translational relationship. The torsional-vibration damper also includes a friction device having a plurality of fiction blocks that frictionally join the primary element with the secondary element. The secondary element includes an output-side member having a first axial ridge and a drive-side member having a second axial ridge. The output-side member and the drive-side member operatively encompass the primary element and the first axial ridge overlaps the second axial ridge. The first and the second axial ridges thereby cooperate to provide a double layer of radial support for the spring mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2004Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: BorgWarner.

Patent number: 6681911Abstract: The invention concerns a vibration damping device (2). This includes at least two elements—a primary element (3.1) and a secondary element (3.2), which are limited in movement in relation to each other. The primary element (3.1) and the secondary element (3.2) can be coupled together using a spring coupling. The means to implement spring coupling include at least one spring device (4.1, 4.N). Based on the invention, there is at least one adjustable clutch device (15, 15′), including at least two elements (16, 17; 16′, 17′) rubbing against each other, which bring primary and secondary elements (3.1, 3.2) into friction contact. In addition, there is a power generator or force producing device (39) to produce a controllable friction contact for the elements rubbing against each other (16, 17; 16′, 17′).Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Inventors: Juergen Kroll, Norbert Bastel, Michael Schaefer

Patent number: 6145645Abstract: A disk assembly having a circular friction lining mounted on one or both sides of a support member. An oil channel extends from the outer edge of the friction lining to the inner edge. The oil channel includes an enlarged middle oil reservoir section extending completely through the friction lining. An inlet section and an outlet section of the oil channel are in communication with the reservoir section and are narrow grooves which are embossed in the friction lining during bonding of the friction lining.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1999Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Borg-Warner Automotive, GmbHInventors: Jurgen Kroll, Norbert Bastel
