  • Patent number: 12191740
    Abstract: A drive device for an actuator for a brake device of a motor vehicle. The drive device has an electric machine having a rotor rotatably mounted in a housing and a stator fixed to the housing. A bearing shield is situated in the housing that has an axially extending sleeve-shaped bearing segment for the rotatable bearing of a drive shaft, which bears the rotor. The bearing shield has an axially extending sleeve-shaped retaining segment held with a frictional fit in a sleeve-shaped end segment of the housing and has a diameter that is greater than the diameter of the bearing segment. A radially extending annular disk-shaped floor segment of the bearing shield is between the retaining segment and the bearing segment. The retaining segment has a first axial partial segment connected to the floor segment, and a second partial segment connected to the first partial segment.

  • Publication number: 20240022151
    Abstract: The invention relates to an installation assembly (10) for an electric machine (motor or generator) and to a method for producing such an installation assembly (10). Installation assemblies (10) comprising a rotor shaft (16), a rotor (12) anchored on the rotor shaft (16) in a rotationally fixed manner, and a rotor device (20) which rotates together with the rotor (12) are known for example from electronically actuatable machines (motors or generators). The invention relates to an advantageous design of the rotor device (20). According to the invention, means (28a, 28b; 28c) are arranged on the rotor device (20) for fixing the rotor device (20) on the rotor (12) in a part comprising the rotor device (20), wherein the means (28a; 28b; 28c) protrude from the rotor device (20) in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the rotor shaft (16) and can be introduced into paired recesses (28a; 28b; 28c) of the rotor (12).

  • Publication number: 20060273567
    Abstract: The locking module for locking a steering column, the locking module being of the type comprising two locking flanges mounted to move relative to each other between a locking configuration for locking the steering column and a releasing configuration for releasing the steering column. The locking module further comprises cam-forming means. The two flanges are mounted to move relative to each other along a control movement path. The locking module further comprises a locking device distinct from the cam-forming means and adapted to lock the two locking flanges in their locking configuration. Application to motor vehicle steering columns.
