  • Publication number: 20230092826
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw having: a nut arranged on a threaded spindle and divided crosswise to a spindle axis into two nut parts; planetary rollers arranged between the threaded spindle and the nut distributed over the circumference, the planetary rollers intermeshing with the nut parts and with the threaded spindled; a rotatingly driven planetary roller carrier arranged on the threaded spindle, in pockets of which, arranged distributed over the circumference, the planetary rollers are mounted, held at a distance in the circumferential direction, so as to be rotatable about the planetary roller axis; and a housing in which the planetary roller carrier is rotatably mounted. A pre-loading device is provided in order to adjust an axial pre-load between the housing and the planetary rollers.

  • Publication number: 20220373066
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw drive comprising a threaded spindle nut, a horizontal threaded spindled, a plurality of planetary rolling elements having a planetary rolling element profile, and at least two planetary guide rings. The threaded spindle is arranged concentrically in the planetary guide rings and the spindle nut. The planetary guide rings can be rotated relative to the threaded spindle and the planetary rolling elements are mounted so as to be rotatable about their associated planetary rolling element axis in the planetary guide rings and inside the spindle nut. The planetary rolling element profile of the planetary rolling elements meshes with the threaded spindle. The planetary guide rings are connected to a housing case for conjoint rotation, and the housing case has a housing case lateral surface on which a toothing is formed for coupling in a geared manner to with a continuous traction mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20220364633
    Abstract: A planetary roller screw drive for an actuator of a rear-axle steering system of a motor vehicle, including a planetary roller support which accommodates the planetary rollers and is connected to a drive sleeve for rotation therewith, which drive sleeve is driven rotatably about the screw spindle and is mounted rotatably on a machine part by an axial angular contact roller bearing which is arranged coaxially with respect to the drive sleeve and of which the rollers are in rolling contact with angled-bearing raceways which are inclined with respect to a plane arranged transversely with respect to the axis of rotation of the drive sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20180066687
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for driving an actuator is provided. The drive arrangement includes a drive device and a housing part which can be connected to or is connected to the drive device. At least one first plug-in element is arranged or configured on the drive device in the form of a pin- or peg-like plug-in projection. At least one second plug-in element corresponding to the at least one first plug-in element is arranged or configured on the housing part, and includes bore-like sockets. The drive device is connectable to the housing part via a plug-in connection at the first plug-in element and the second plug-in element.

  • Patent number: 8283817
    Abstract: An electric machine with improved cooling efficiency includes a stator, a rotor operating as a rotor fan and comprising a shaft defining an axial direction and having radial and axial cooling channels, and an axial fan configured as a twin axial fan and arranged coaxially with the shaft and supplying a coolant to the axial cooling channels. The axial fan has first and second blade rings and a funnel-shaped tube with a smaller opening directly connected to the axial cooling channels of the rotor to deliver coolant to the axial cooling channels of the rotor, and a larger opening, which is non-rotatably connected to and encloses the first blade ring. The second blade ring is firmly attached at an outer circumference of the funnel-shaped tube to deliver the coolant to the stator. Both the stator and the rotor can be cooled using an efficient coolant flow.
