  • Patent number: 11784539
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an assembly comprising a component rotatable about a rotary axis for an actuating drive comprising a sensor element attached to the rotatable component. The rotatable component has a support surface from which a fixing element protrudes in parallel to the rotary axis. The sensor element includes an opening. The sensor element is arranged on the support surface in such a manner that the fixing element penetrates the opening. A surface of the sensor element adjacent to the opening has a structure. A top portion of the fixing element is in interlocking engagement with the structure so that the attached sensor element is connected to the component in a torque-resistant manner.

  • Patent number: 11552522
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor, comprising a rotor magnet and a bearing for the rotatable support on a fixed axle, the bearing comprising first and second bearing half-shells, wherein at least the first bearing half-shell is moveably arranged within the rotor body with respect to the second bearing half-shell, and wherein the first bearing half-shell is supported against the rotor body by a resilient element tangentially arranged with respect to the axle. The resilient element, at both its side surfaces facing in an axial direction of the axle, has at least one respective first protrusion extending in the axial direction, and the first bearing half-shell, on a side facing away from its bearing surface, includes at least two axially spaced second protrusions each extending in a radial direction and cooperating with the first protrusions for aligning the resilient element.

  • Patent number: 8556037
    Abstract: A lubricating nipple (1) to be pressed into a bore (5) of a bearing bush (7) of a universal joint has a housing with a flow-through channel (22) to receive a lubricant. A check valve (25, 26, 27) is arranged in the through-flow channel (22). A seat portion (3) positions the lubricating nipple (1) in the bore (5) in the mounted condition. A coupling portion (2) couples the lubricating nipple (1) to a lubricating device. The coupling portion (2) has a first abutment face (10) that faces the seat portion (3). The mounted lubricating nipple (1), in the pressing-in direction, is axially supported by the first abutment face (10) against the thin-walled component (7). A collar portion (4) has a second abutment face (12). The second abutment face (12) is arranged opposite to the first abutment face (10). The mounted lubricant nipple (1) can be axially supported by the second abutment face (12) against the thin-walled component (7).
