Patent number: 11927192Abstract: A pump apparatus has a rotor shaft, a pump impeller connected to the rotor shaft, at least one axial bearing which rotatably supports the rotor shaft at a side facing the pump impeller, a magnetic pump stator, a magnetic pump rotor which is connected to the rotor shaft, a containment can which extends between the stator and the rotor, and at least one central support element which is mounted in the region of the pump impeller. The pump apparatus has an elastomer disk which is arranged between the support element and the axial bearing. The stator and the rotor are arranged with an axial offset with respect to each other. The stator and the rotor are provided as a result of the axial offset to produce an axial force F in the direction of the elastomer disk.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Johannes Walter, Claudius Muschelknautz, Gerald Zierer, Hannes Butscher, Pierre Werny, Ralf Herrmann, Thomas Eckerle

Patent number: 10473194Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sliding system for a wraparound transmission for reducing vibrations and undulations of a wraparound means, the sliding system comprising a wraparound means for connecting a transmission input shaft to a transmission output shaft in a torque-transmitting manner. The wraparound means has a plurality of deflecting axes and a height oriented transversely with respect to the deflecting axes. The sliding system also includes a sliding rail which comprises a sliding channel with an inner sliding face and an outer sliding face, wherein the sliding channel defines a running direction for the wraparound means, and the sliding channel being divided in the running direction into an entry section, a main section and an exit section. The sliding channel has a setpoint height adapted to the height of the wraparound means.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Pierre Werny, Stephan Penner

Patent number: 9765857Abstract: A chain guide element having a first guide rail and a second guide rail which is spaced from the first guide rail to guide a moving chain therebetween. On each lateral side of the chain guide element connecting elements connect the two guide rails in spaced relationship to slidably receive a moving chain. First supporting elements are positioned on the laterally arranged connecting elements that connect the first and second guide rails, and second supporting elements are carried by a stationary component to cooperate with the first supporting elements so that the chain guide element is pivotable and is linearly movable relative to the second supporting elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
