    摘要: A control circuit for a control unit, which is located in a vehicle and is configured to be switched between an energy-saving state that has a limited range of functions and a normal operational state depending on an output voltage received from the control circuit (10), includes a field-effector transistor. The field-effect transistor is configured to receive a supply voltage. The field-effect transistor is further configured to switch between control states based on a control voltage applied at a gate terminal. The control states are an on-state and an off-state. The field-effect transistor is further configured to provide the output voltage based on the control state of the field-effect transistor.

    摘要: A crankshaft assembly for a motor vehicle drive train, including a crankshaft segment and a centrifugal pendulum secured thereon, which has a carrier secured to the crankshaft segment and at least one pendulum mass that moves relative to the carrier along a predetermined track. The crankshaft assembly has a friction unit connected to the carrier, which rests on the at least one pendulum mass such that, with a relative movement of the pendulum mass in relation to the carrier, the friction unit applies a frictional torque on the pendulum mass counteracting the relative movement, wherein the friction unit extends over a peripheral section of less than 360°.

    摘要: A drive assembly including a housing having an opening, a shaft supported for rotation by a bearing assembly received in the opening of the housing, and at least one gear fixed for rotation with the shaft. The bearing assembly includes a bearing that is axially fixed to the shaft, and a sleeve having a tubular section, a radially inwardly extending flange at a first end of the tubular section and a radially outwardly extending flange at a second end of the tubular section. The bearing is received in the tubular section and abuts at least a portion of the tubular section and the radially inwardly extending flange. The radially outwardly extending flange abuts a surface of the housing surrounding the opening of the housing thereby setting an axial position of the at least one gear relative to the opening of the housing.

    摘要: A device for detecting rotational or linear movements includes a transmitter with sections, and a magnetoresistive sensor. The sections are alternatingly inversely magnetized along a trajectory extending in a first spatial direction. The sections includes respective magnetic poles that oppose each other in a second spatial direction, orthogonal to the first spatial direction, and an extent in a third spatial direction orthogonal to the first spatial direction and to the second spatial direction. The sections are magnetized over a length in the third spatial direction that is less than the extent. The magnetoresistive sensor is spaced from the transmitter by a gap in the second spatial direction, and the magnetoresistive sensor is stationary. The spatial directions may be directions in a cylindrical coordinate system or a cartesian coordinate system.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to an inductive linear displacement sensor that includes a primary coil and two secondary coils inductively coupled to the primary coil. The linear displacement sensor has a calibration coil inductively coupled to the primary coil. The calibration coil is arranged such that a signal produced by the calibration coil has only one zero crossing at the center of the linear displacement sensor.

    摘要: A current sensor me includes an electrically conductive busbar with an upper side and a lower side. A cutout is formed adjacent to a tapering of the busbar. A carrier of a magnetic detection element is positioned relative to the cutout such that the magnetic detection element is positioned one of above the upper side or below the lower side of the busbar relative to the busbar.

    摘要: A handwheel actuator for a steering system includes a housing, a piston slidably disposed within the housing, and a shaft disposed within the housing and configured to be fixed to a handwheel. A first side of the piston forms a first fluid chamber with the housing, and a second side of the piston forms a second fluid chamber with the housing. The first and second chambers are configured to be fluidly connected to each other. The shaft and piston cooperate to convert an input rotary motion of the shaft to an output linear motion of the piston. The linear motion of the piston is configured to displace a fluid so as to apply a rotational resistance to the shaft.

    摘要: A generator module for a vehicle includes a housing arranged for fixing to a combustion engine, a generator arranged in the housing, a shaft, a spring, circumscribing the shaft, and a cup, circumscribing the spring. The generator has a stator, fixed to the housing, and a rotor, rotatable within the housing and including a rotor carrier. The shaft is fixed to the rotor carrier and the cup has an annular flange disposed axially between the spring and the housing. In an example embodiment, the housing has a pump housing for a cooling pump and the cup contacts the spring and the pump housing before the generator module is installed in the vehicle. In an example embodiment, the housing and the rotor carrier have complementary conical surfaces, and the spring is arranged to urge the complementary conical surfaces into contact.
