  • Patent number: 7601917
    Abstract: An electrical connection line (L) for an electrical unit of a motor vehicle, which electrical connection line serves to electrically connect the unit to an electrical power source which is arranged in the motor vehicle and/or to another electrical unit. The connection line (L) is designed as a three-phase line with three insulated electrical conductors (1, 2, 3), of which each has an electrical individual sheath (5) which is in contact with its insulation means (4) and is closed all the way around. An electrical outer sheath (7) which surrounds the three sheathed conductors (1, 2, 3) and is closed all the way around is also provided and a coupling element which is equipped with electrical contacts which are insulated from one another is fitted at least to one end of the connection line (L) in a moisture-tight manner, and the electrical conductors (1, 2, 3), their individual sheaths (5) and the outer sheath (7) are electrically conductively connected to the contacts of the said coupling element.

  • Patent number: 7390972
    Abstract: A winding for a linear motor, which winding has three electrical cables arranged in grooves of an elongated inductor. The three electrical cables have an electrically conductive sheath and an electrically conductive intermediate layer arranged between the sheath and an outer conductive layer. At least one metal strand of an electrically highly conductive material that has electrically highly conductive contact with the conductive sheath of the cables and serves as a grounding conductor is present over the whole length of a stator. The stator includes the inductor and the three cables, which are connected to form a three-phase winding. The intermediate layer is formed from nonwoven material that has a thickness of about 300 ?m-600 ?m and an electrical resistance of about 150 ?/m-500 ?/m. The value of the electrical resistance of the intermediate layer is greater than the corresponding resistance value of the strand used as the grounding conductor.

  • Publication number: 20060005991
    Abstract: An electrical cable (3) for a linear motor has an electrically highly conductive metallic conductor (6), an inner conductive layer (7) that surrounds the metallic conductor, an insulating layer (8) arranged above the inner conductive layer, an outer conductive layer (9) that surrounds the insulation, a sheath (10) made of insulating material, which has been rendered electrically conductive, arranged above the outer conductive layer, and an electrically conductive intermediate layer arranged between the outer conductive layer and the sheath. To allow simple adaptation to different operating voltages, the intermediate layer (11) includes of a nonwoven material that has a thickness of about 300-600 ?m and an electrical resistance of about 150-500 ?/m.

  • Publication number: 20060008216
    Abstract: A device for signal transmission includes two terminals, between which a flat ribbon line (10) is arranged, which runs in turns, forms a winding body, is housed in an essentially circular cassette, and has at least two parallel, spaced conductors (15) embedded in a sheath (16) made of insulating material. The cassette consists of a rotor that can rotate about the axis of the cassette, on which rotor one of the terminals is attached, and of a stationary stator, on which the other terminal is attached. The winding body of the flat ribbon line is arranged between the stator and rotor. To reduce the sliding friction between the flat ribbon line (10) and the plastic parts of the cassette, the sheath (16) of the flat ribbon line (10) is covered all the way around and over its entire length by a thin layer (17) of a cross-linked insulating material with very good antifriction properties.

  • Publication number: 20050173993
    Abstract: In a method for producing a three-phase alternating current winding for a linear motor, which has a rotor part (7) and an elongated stator (4), which consists of an inductor provided with grooves (5) and three phase windings (1), which lie in the grooves (5), which are provided with recesses for closure devices, and in which the phase windings (1) consist of electric cables that can be connected with one another to form a cohesive winding, each of the three phase windings (1) is first shaped as a meander, the meander windings are fixed in place by at least one band-shaped element (2, 3), and the phase windings (1) are pressed into the grooves (5) of the stator (4) either individually in succession or together.

  • Publication number: 20010004557
    Abstract: A flat conductor ribbon cable (1) in which at least two flat electric conductors (2) with rectangular cross-section are embedded, separated and in parallel, in insulating material (3). For effective electric shielding, a metallic envelope (4), which is produced by application of a process for surface coating and is completely closed, is applied to the entire outer surface of the flat cable (1) including the lateral edges (6,7) and adheres firmly to the insulating material (3) of the flat cable (1).
