  • Patent number: 10968810
    Abstract: A thermal management module comprises a housing and a drive shaft located within the housing. The housing is provided with a first internal cavity, a partition and a second internal cavity which are arranged in series along the axial direction of the drive shaft. The first internal cavity and the second internal cavity are separated by the partition. The partition is proved with a through-hole through which the drive shaft passes. One end of the drive shaft extends into the first internal cavity. A second internal cavity is used for receiving a drivetrain for rotating the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 10865888
    Abstract: A connection fitting (8) of a heat management module (1) of an internal combustion engine can be inserted into a receptacle hole (9) in a housing (2) of the heat management module. The aim is to be able to bias a sealing ring (16) of the nozzle against a rotary valve (3) using a compression spring element (13). The connection fitting is to be provided with a stop (24) that limits the longitudinal movement of the sealing ring in the direction of the rotary valve.

  • Publication number: 20150300505
    Abstract: A seal arrangement for a control valve (1), which seal arrangement is designed for sealing a supply connection (3) for a valve housing (4), this connection being formed as a bore (2), and the seal arrangement can be brought into contact with a valve body (5) mounted in the valve housing (4). The seal arrangement has a first and a second sealing element (6, 7) and a connecting piece (8), with the connecting piece (8) having a main body (9) protruding into the valve housing (4) and a carrier body (10) running radially around the main body (9). The carrier body (10) is supported on an end face (11) of the valve housing (4) and both the first and the second sealing elements (6, 7) directly contact the connecting piece (8) in a sealing manner.

  • Patent number: 8556519
    Abstract: A radial roller bearing, in particular a single-track ball roller bearing, which has an outer bearing ring with an inner groove track, an inner bearing ring with an outer groove track and ball rollers, which are disposed parallel to one another and held in a peripheral direction at even distances from one another by a plastic bearing cage, that roll between the bearing rings in the groove tracks. Each roller has two lateral surfaces that are flattened symmetrically from a spherical base form and a defined axial tilting clearance. The cage has two axially separated, pocketed cage halves which can be assembled in a positive-fitted, form-locked or integral fashion by opposing connecting elements.
