  • Publication number: 20250129836
    Abstract: A set of components for the assembly of true-pitch rolling-contact planetary transmissions, in particular for electromechanical actuators of rear axle steering systems, comprises at least one threaded spindle, a number of planet rollers which can be placed onto the threaded spindle, at least one cage is designed for guiding the planet wheels and provided as a drive element, and a plurality of different spindle nuts provided for receiving the planet wheels. The spindle nuts differ from one another in terms of the play that the planet rollers located between the threaded spindle and the spindle nut have.

  • Patent number: 12049944
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a planetary roller screw drive comprising a threaded spindle nut, a horizontal threaded spindle, 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.

  • Patent number: 11994191
    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 spindle; 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.

  • 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.
