  • Patent number: 10525813
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing has a cylindrical main housing, a load-bearing spring enclosed by the main housing, a work chamber, which is at least partially enclosed by the load-bearing spring, with a work chamber volume filled with hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic bearing further includes a control diaphragm, which is configured to change the work chamber volume, and an actuator. The actuator is coupled to the control diaphragm for deflecting the same. The hydraulic bearing also includes an equalization chamber and a throttle duct hydraulically interconnecting the work chamber and the equalization chamber, and a cylindrical chamber housing is arranged with a first end face on an outer casing side section of the main housing, wherein the equalization chamber is formed by at least a part of an interior of the chamber housing.

  • Patent number: 9620271
    Abstract: An actuator has an electrically conductive coil which has a longitudinal axis and a plurality of turns and a magnet arranged at a distance from the turns in radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis. The coil is partially covered by a central region of a first conducting element on a side which faces away from the magnet and the magnet is partially covered by a mid region of a second conducting element on a side facing away from the turns of the coil. The first conducting element projects beyond the coil and the second conducting element projects beyond the magnet in the direction of the longitudinal axis and there each have collar-like projections. The coil has a first winding turns region and a second winding turns region.

  • Patent number: 9608503
    Abstract: An actuator has an electrically conductive coil which has a longitudinal axis and windings through which a current can flow. The coil is surrounded by a highly permeable first ferromagnetic body so that the first body has projections of highly permeable ferromagnetic material above and below the coil in the longitudinal direction. The actuator has a magnet spaced apart from the coil so that a gap forms therebetween. The magnet is surrounded by a highly permeable second ferromagnetic body so that the second body has projections of highly permeable ferromagnetic material above and below the magnet in the longitudinal direction. The magnet is statically mounted with the second body and the coil is spring mounted with the first body so that the coil and first body oscillate in the longitudinal direction when an alternating current flows through the coil. The coil is outside the magnet perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
