  • Patent number: 8274194
    Abstract: In the drive train of a combustion engine an auxiliary arrangement is arranged which is to be coupled with an axial flow machine including a stator and a rotor, in order to perform an actuating movement. The stator has a coil arrangement, and the rotor has an essentially cup-shaped support for permanent magnet elements. The coil arrangement of the stator has at least one cylindrical winding and is at least partially enclosed by two essentially pot-shaped magnetic flux yokes. Each of the pot-shaped magnetic flux yokes has side areas with magnetic flux poles whose outsides are oriented towards the permanent magnet elements of the rotor. The magnetic flux poles of the stator are arranged spaced apart from the permanent magnet elements of the rotor. The magnetic orientation of neighboring permanent magnet elements towards the air gap alternates.

  • Publication number: 20120048411
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a manifold valve, comprising at least one valve inlet, at least one valve outlet, at least one housing, and a first valve device rotatable around a first rotational axis arranged within the housing at least partly for opening and closing at least one connection between the valve inlet and the valve outlet, wherein at least two valve inlets and/or at least two valve outlets and at least a second valve device rotatable around a second rotational axis are arranged in the housing at least partly as well as a fluid circuit, in particular a coolant circuit.
