Abstract: A ceramic card having a thick film network, with conductive vias formed as part of the card. Each of the vias is in electrical communication with both sides of the thick film network, allowing the pads and the pad senders to be formed on both sides of the card. This configuration maintains the contact when one of the connectors is subjected to bending force or is otherwise displaced, maintaining contact with at least one of the pads, and allowing the system to still function. The double sided thick film network allows for each connector to touch both sides of one of the pads, and still maintain electrical communication with the level sender, thus eliminating the failure mode of intermittent contact with the thick film network resulting from movement of the connector.

Abstract: A device for contacting at least one conducting track has a contact spring that is connected to a pivotable bow by a pivot bearing. The contact spring also has spring elements connected in series for preloading contacts against the conducting track. An axis of the pivot bearing is arranged parallel to the direction of motion of the contacts over the conducting tracks.

Abstract: A drivable axle, in particular a rigid axle, is provided for a motor vehicle the axle has a differential gear, at least one gear bearing, at least one axle tube, and at least one axle shaft. The differential gear features a volume (V1) for lubricant separate from the axle tube. The differential gear is sealed at the axle tube by using a gap-type seal.

Abstract: A fill level sensor for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle includes electrical structures that consist of different materials. Sliding contact track structures exposed to the fuel consist of a gold-containing paste. Conductor structures are protected by a cover from contact with the fuel and consist of an especially inexpensive material. The fill level sensor therefore is highly resistant to corrosive fuels and can be produced at low cost.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing element for securing an axial stop element, in particular a C-clip, radially attached to a shaft. The securing element is designed in such a manner that it is attachable to the shaft and features at least one spring-elastic axle journal, which, in the attached state of the securing element, it exerts a radial holding force for securing the axial stop element (5). A shaft device and a differential gear with such a securing element for securing an axial stop element to a shaft of the shaft device or differential gear is also provided. An axial stop element with at least one positive-locking element that is lockable with one positive-locking element of such a securing element is also provided.

Abstract: Drivable axle (1), in particular a rigid axle, for a motor vehicle, the axle (1) featuring one differential gear (2), at least one gear bearing, at least one axle tube (5, 6) and at least one axle shaft (5a, 6a), whereas the differential gear (2) features a volume (V1) for lubricant separate from the at least one axle tube (5, 6). Thereby, the differential gear (2) is sealed at the least one axle tube (5, 6) by using a gap-type seal (12).

Abstract: A rear axle transmission unit is proposed for transmitting a drive torque from a drive input shaft to two drive output shafts via a differential unit and a device, which can be actuated and continuously adjusted by at least one motor for influencing the drive torque distribution level to the output shafts, such that the differential unit comprises a differential and a differential cage actively connected to the drive shaft and the device for influencing the drive torque distribution level comprises at least one planetary gearset as a transmission ratio stage which is actively connected to the differential cage and to an associated output shaft and which comprises a brake device. It is provided that the brake device is arranged laterally offset in the direction of a planetary axis next to planetary gears of the transmission ratio stage and at least approximately inside a radial extension area of the planetary gears around a longitudinal axis of the output shafts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a level sensor (7) for a fuel tank (1), comprising a holding part (11) that can be mounted in different positions on a support (13). The support (13) is fastened to a swirl pot (4) while the holding part (11) bears a lever arm (8) that supports a float (9). The inventive level sensor (7) can be adjusted to different fuel tank dimensions by mounting said level sensor (7) differently on the support (13).

Abstract: A lockable differential gear having an integral differential gear housing (1). The differential gear housing (1) has a plurality of apertures (8) located opposite one another. A number of the internal parts of the differential gear are mounted, during installation, within the differential gear housing (1) by passing through one of the plurality of apertures (8) during the assembly process. The plurality of apertures (8) generally remain open following the assembly process.

Abstract: In a level sensor (2) for a fuel tank, one end of a lever wire (7) is located at a distance from a bearing (11) of a bracket (5). The bracket (5) has two limbs (12, 13) of which one holds the lever wire (7) and the other controls the signal transmitter (8). This enables the level sensor (1) to be calibrated in a particularly easy manner.

A measuring tip (13) can be lead through the opening (9) toward a component which is connected to contacts (10) of a potentiometer (7) and a lifting-off force of the contact (10) can be determined. The lifting-off force is thus measured in a low-friction fashion and near to the contacts (10).
