  • Publication number: 20230228323
    Abstract: An oil supply system for a machine, such as for a power unit of a motor vehicle, with a module body made of plastic including a collection tank which is divided into a prechamber and a main chamber. A predelivery pump can extract oil from the prechamber and pump it into the main chamber, a main delivery pump can extract oil from the main chamber and pump it to the machine, and a return line can return oil from the machine to the prechamber and/or the main chamber. A power unit for a motor vehicle can include such an oil supply system, wherein a predelivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the prechamber and a main delivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the main chamber, and the power unit is configured to be mounted in the motor vehicle with an orientation such that a line running through the two suction openings is arranged approximately parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220163035
    Abstract: A liquid pump having an electric motor, a pump assembly, which is driven by the electric motor, and a housing wherein the electric motor and the pump assembly are arranged, wherein the housing is in the form of a one-piece, injection-moulded pot having a base and side walls, wherein the pump assembly bears against the base, and the electric motor is arranged on the open side of the housing remote from the base.

  • Patent number: 11015660
    Abstract: A central release mechanism for a pneumatic clutch actuating device has a cylinder housing, which, about a central axis, delimits a ring-shaped pressure chamber wherein a ring-shaped piston which can be pneumatically pressurized via the pressure chamber and which is operatively connectable to a clutch is guided so as to be displaceable along the central axis. In the pressure chamber, between the ring-shaped piston and a base of the cylinder housing, a preload spring arrangement braces the ring-shaped piston and the cylinder housing apart from one another. A movement of the ring-shaped piston relative to the cylinder housing is detectable with a sensor arrangement which has a position detector and a position encoder. The preload spring arrangement has a multiplicity of distributed preload springs, angularly spaced apart from one another, about the central axis.
