Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor-integrated clutch for a drive train of a motor vehicle, and has a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a carrier, on which a first part of a friction clutch configured for a force-locking connection with a second part is attached, wherein a coolant fluid line is provided in order to supply the stator or the rotor with coolant fluid to bring about heat dissipation. The coolant fluid line is arranged and perforated such that the coolant fluid both drips under gravity onto a section of the rotor in order to generate a spray mist, and flows over the outer surface of the stator.

Abstract: A clutch actuator and to a method for the control thereof. The actuator actuates a multi-disk clutch, and to do so has actuator modules. The number of which corresponds to the number of the friction clutches. The modules have separate control units and electric motors, which are controlled by the control units and act on the friction clutches by a disengaging mechanism. In order to counter block the partial drive trains disposed downstream of the friction clutches, particularly automatically closed friction clutches during a malfunction of an actuator module, the actuator modules are connected among each other to a data line, which allows monitoring of the actuator modules and counter-measures.

Abstract: A magnetic friction clutch has two clutch parts, supported so that they can rotate relative to each other around an axis of rotation. A first clutch part has at least two clamping jaws which are movable somewhat toward and away from each other. A second clutch part, situated between the clamping jaws, is of disk-shaped design. The clamping jaws are pressable against the second clutch part by the magnetic force of a variable magnetic flux which is carried in the clutch parts in a soft magnetic material, in order to form a frictionally engaged connection between the clutch parts. The second clutch part has a plurality of soft magnetic ring zones permeated by the magnetic flux, which extend in the circumferential direction and are separated from each other in the radial direction by slots running in the circumferential direction. Ring zones adjacent to each other in the radial direction are connected with each other by bridging links.

Abstract: An electromagnetic friction clutch has at least two clutch parts that are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to each other and movable toward and away from each other and that touch each other with a contact force in the position of use. The clutch parts are located in a magnetic circuit, which is guided in the clutch parts in a soft magnetic material in sheet form. Positioned in the magnetic circuit is an electromagnet having a soft magnetic core and a coil. The magnetic circuit has air gaps between the soft magnetic core and at least one of the clutch parts. The flux density in the magnetic circuit, and thus the contact force, is modifiable via the current applied to the coil. The magnetic flux changes at least ten flux crossover points one after the other in the direction of flow between the clutch parts. The cross section of the magnetic flux in at least one air gap is at least five times greater than the smallest flux cross section in the soft magnetic material.

Abstract: In electric machines, core losses limit, at high fundamental frequency, the permissible full-load power. The aim of the invention is to develop a design which enables a high power density at high magnetic reversal frequencies and which is easy to produce.

In the direction of movement, at least two coils are arranged one behind the other. Coils of different phase are arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement inside different running tracks. In the secondary part, at least two oppositely magnetized hard magnets with three collector segments, which are flatly adjacent in a manner that is perpendicular to the direction of movement, form magnet poles having a high flux concentration.
