  • Publication number: 20240003363
    Abstract: An automotive fluid pump arrangement includes a pump unit having an axial pump unit stop surface, and a mounting device which supports and mounts the pump unit. The mounting device has a support part having a ring-shape. The support part radially encloses, supports, and provides a vibration-decoupling of the pump unit. The support part has an axial support part stop surface which corresponds to and which cooperates with the axial pump unit stop surface so as to axially stop the pump unit in an axial mounting direction, a mounting part which attaches the mounting device to a corresponding motor vehicle mounting structure, and a tensioned friction enhancing longitudinal lip ring which is arranged to surround the pump unit utricularly so as to frictionally lock the pump unit in an axial dismounting direction.

  • Publication number: 20230407870
    Abstract: An electric coolant pump for providing an automotive cooling circuit with a coolant includes an electric motor to drive the electric coolant pump, a pump housing, a separating can, a printed circuit board, and permanently height-adjusted supporting elements. The separating can includes a substantially plane separating can bottom wall which lies in a cross plane, and a substantially cylindrical separating can shell which fluidically separates a wet zone from a dry zone. The printed circuit board is arranged substantially parallel to and not in direct contact with the separating can bottom wall so that an axial gap exists which is filled with a heat conductive means. The supporting elements axially support the plane printed circuit board. Each supporting element has a distal tip which is trimmed to define a height-constant axial gap having a nominal gap height between the printed circuit board and the separating can bottom wall.
