Patent number: 9212735Abstract: An arrangement of a transmission (1) and an attachment module (4), in which the transmission (1) has a driveshaft (3) with a central, first axial bore (12) for supplying lubricating oil and the attachment module (4) has a connecting shaft (5) mounted in the housing by at least one roller bearing (6). The driveshaft (3) and the connecting shaft (5) are connected to one another, in a rotationally fixed manner, by a splined connection (8). The supply of lubricating oil for the spline connection (8) and the at least one roller bearing (6) occurs by way of the central, first axial bore (12) of the driveshaft (3).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: ZF FriedrichshafenInventors: Oliver Schell, Rayk Gersten, Maik Kerkhoff

Patent number: 9027587Abstract: In a method for operating a fluid valve for controlling or regulating a fluid, having at least one movable valve component is displaceable with the aid of at least one electrical actuating signal which contains at least one first actuating signal portion which causes an oscillating valve motion of the valve component. Pressure oscillations generated in the fluid due to the oscillating valve motion are detected, and are used for regulation of the oscillating valve motion caused by the first actuating signal portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Juergen Hessenauer, Ulrich Foerch, Manfred Schmitt, Steffen Schumacher, Nicole Weber, Oliver Schell, Christof Ott

Patent number: 8413750Abstract: A device for a vehicle drive train for generating and transmitting drive torque to components of the drive train. The device comprises a shaft which is connected to the components of the drive train, at least first and second bearings which support the shaft and an electric motor for generating the transmitted drive torque. The electric motor comprises a stator and a rotor which is fixed to the shaft. The rotor is supported by one or more bearing surfaces. The device also comprises elements disposed on the shaft via which drive torque can be transmitted to the components of the drive train while introducing transverse force into the shaft. The rotor of the drive motor is positioned on the shaft such that the bearing surface is located in the region of maximum deflection caused by the transverse force in the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Martin Lamke, Rayk Hoffmann, Oliver Schell

Publication number: 20110241500Abstract: A drive train for a motor vehicle which comprises of at least a rotatable drive shaft (3) and an electric motor (10) which has an enclosure mounted stator (11) and a rotatable rotor (12) which is coupled with the drive shaft (3). The rotor (12) is designed as at least a two part rotor in which the first rotor part (12A) is directly coupled with the drive shaft (3) and the second rotor part (12B) can be directly driven by the stator (11) and the first rotor part (12A) is tiltable coupled with the second rotor part (12B) for a torque transfer. The second rotor part (12B) is supported, for rotation, by an enclosure mounted rotor bearing (13) which is aligned with reference to the stator (11).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2009Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Martin Lamke, Oliver Schell, Rayk Hoffmann, Thomas Gnandt, Wolfgang Irlbacher
