  • Patent number: 11962226
    Abstract: A rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric machine and to a hybrid module with such a rotor carrier. The rotor carrier includes a tubular base body having elements on an outer circumferential surface facing the rotor for connection between base body and rotor, the base body is connected to a hub by a connection element. The connection element has an axial portion which extends along a part of the axial length of the base body and runs coaxial to the latter, in that receptacles for parts of a clutch are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the axial portion remote of the base body, and in that the connection element has a flange area adjoining the axial portion.

  • Patent number: 8430079
    Abstract: A throttle valve for controlling a fluid flow includes a throttle housing (4), a gas passage (18) in the throttle housing (4), a throttle shaft (8) which is pivotably supported in the throttle housing (4), and a throttle (6) which is connected to the throttle shaft (8). The throttle shaft (8) extends through a jacket (12) which is provided on the throttle (6) and at least partially encompasses the throttle shaft (8). After the throttle (6) is installed on the throttle shaft (8), a hardening filler material (10) creates a form-fit connection between the throttle (6) and the throttle shaft (8).

  • Publication number: 20100206264
    Abstract: Throttle valves often have the problem that the throttle must be precisely positioned with and fixed to the throttle shaft. In the throttle valve (2) proposed by the invention, hardening filler material (10) is inserted into the intermediate space (22) between the throttle (6) and the throttle shaft (8). After said filler material (10) has hardened, the throttle (6) is precisely positioned relative to the throttle shaft (8) and fixed in a torque-proof manner. The throttle valve may be used for controlling the output of an internal combustion engine.
