  • Patent number: 9873414
    Abstract: A parking brake system for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes two control units, by means of which two actuators, which are designed to actuate respective wheel brakes, can be controlled. The control units are connected to a power source via separate lines, wherein exclusively one of the control units is connected to an operating device which is designed to transmit signals to the control unit for actuation of the wheel brakes. The control unit is designed to control at least one of the actuators, dependent on the signals for actuation of the wheel brakes.

  • Patent number: 6474653
    Abstract: A seal arrangement for a shaft having a broad rpm range, supported in a housing, in particular for axle drives. A radial shaft seal, arranged in the housing bore hole, seals the shaft bearing space from loss of lubricant. A baffle plate, joined to the shaft, and having a lip seal, is aligned radially to the inside, which under the effect of centrifugal force lifts off from its sealing surface at higher rotational speeds of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 5895052
    Abstract: A device for sealing the annular gap between a housing and a shaft supported in the housing. The device comprises an inner ring, an outer ring, and an elastomeric sealing member joined to the outer ring. The sealing member has three sealing lips, of which only the first abuts, under prestressing, against the inner ring. The two other sealing lips are configured in such a way that, between their outer ends and the sections of the inner ring lying opposite to their outer ends, gaps are formed which act as a contact-free sealing. In addition, a gap may be provided between a radially extending annular disk portion of the sealing member and an outer flanged section of the inner ring axially opposite the annular disk portion. That gap and the gaps at the ends of the second and third sealing lips form a labyrinth seal.

  • Patent number: 5445049
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper having a substantially cup-shaped hub ring made from deep drawn sheet metal. The base of the hub ring has at least one orifice for mounting the damper to a machine part subject to torsional vibrations, the hub ring being joined by at least one spring element made of an elastomeric material - in a manner allowing relative rotation - to at least one inertial ring. The base is provided with an annular centering collar, extending in the axial direction, which fits around the outer periphery of the machine part in partial contact. The centering collar and the base are configured integrally and continuously with one another.
