Abstract:
A drive system for a motor vehicle comprises a drive unit with a drive shaft and a torque-transmitting assembly, which is to be connected on the drive side to the drive shaft for rotation in common around an axis of rotation (A) and which is to be connected on the takeoff side to a gearbox. The drive-side connection is accomplished by means of an axial plug-in connection arrangement, and the torque-transmitting assembly is supported in at least one axial direction on the gearbox.
Abstract:
A torque transmission device of a motor vehicle which transmits torque from an internal combustion engine to a torque converter, wherein the torque transmission device includes transmission part connected to the torque converter in a first radius region having a quantity of fastening elements lying on a first radius and connected to the internal combustion engine in a second radius region having a quantity of fastening elements lying on a second radius. To reduce loading of the fastening elements, the transmission part is provided with recesses in the first radius region and/or in the second radius region that extend at least partially over the first or second radius region and lessen the axial rigidity of the transmission part.
Abstract:
A coupling plate for an engine-driven generator on which a balance weight can be mounted and which is simple in structure and is constituted by a same hole making pattern. In a coupling plate for an engine-driven generator driving a generator by an engine, a plurality of elastic disks overlapped integrally are provided, and the elastic disks have one of the inner circumference side and the outer circumference side in the radial direction connected to the engine and the generator as the input side and the other as the output side, and in each of the elastic disks, a plurality of holes including small-diameter weight mounting holes and large-diameter weight escape holes distributed/arranged with a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction are drilled so that the holes of the respective disks are positionally overlapped with each other.
Abstract:
A torsional detuner for dampening vibrations developed in an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft, a flywheel connected to the crankshaft and a transmission assembly coupled to the flywheel. The detuner includes a planar body mounted to the flywheel and having a central hub, a peripheral rim and a plurality of elastically deformable members connecting the hub to the rim. The deformable members extend outward from the hub to the rim in an outwardly radial spiral. Advantageously, vibrations developed in the engine are dampened by the relative rotation between the hub and rim.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a carrier plate for an automatic transmission, whereby the carrier plate has a ring gear (1) connected to a driving plate (2) by means of welding and has at least one thickening plate (4, 5) connected to the driving plate (2) by means of welding. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for the production of such a carrier plate. With a view to economical production of solid and dimensionally accurate carrier plates, the present invention proposes that the ring gear (1) be connected to the driving plate (2) on the one hand and that the driving plate (2) be connected to the at least one thickening plate (4, 5) on the other hand by means of beam welding, preferably laser beam welding (FIG. 1).
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a disk for the transmission of a torque in a torque transmission device of a motor vehicle. The disk has a radial inner area that can be connected to a first structural component part, a radial outer area that can be connected to a second structural component part, and a quantity of bore holes for the passage of fastening elements for connecting the radial outer area to the second structural component part. In the area between the radial inner area and the radial outer area, the disk has an offset that offsets the two areas relative to one another in axial direction. To employ a long-lasting rivet connection for fastening the disk in an economical manner, the invention incorporates at least one recess in the disk in the area of the offset.
Abstract:
A bearing hanger assembly for coupling rotating shaft components is disclosed which includes a mounting assembly for mounting the bearing hanger assembly to a supporting structure, a bearing assembly for supporting axial rotation of coupled shaft components, and a flexible diaphragm plate supported by the mounting assembly and operatively connected to the bearing assembly so as to accommodate misalignment of the coupled shaft components relative to the supporting structure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a camshaft adjuster (1) for adjusting and fixing the relative position of the angle of rotation of a camshaft (8) in relation to a crankshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine. The adjusting device comprises a high transmission and friction-reduced adjusting gear mechanism (2), comprising a drive shaft which is rotationally fixed to the crankshaft, a driven shaft which is rotationally fixed to the camshaft (8) and an adjusting shaft (9) which is connected to an adjusting motor shaft (10) of an adjusting motor. A camshaft adjuster (1), which is economical to run, can be produced such that the adjusting gear mechanism (2) and the adjusting motor (3) are embodied as separate units and are connected together by a rotational backlash-free, disengaging coupling (4).
Abstract:
A flywheel assembly comprises a flywheel having a friction surface, a flexible plate, and a stopper plate serving as a stopper mechanism. The above-described flexible plate is flexible in the bending direction and rigid in the rotational direction, and has a radially outer portion fixed to the flywheel and a radially inner portion fixable to an end of a crankshaft of an engine. The stopper plate is for restraining bending deflection of the flexible plate when it exceeds a predetermined amount.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a driving disc for transmitting the torque from one drive unit to a hydrodynamic converter (2). The driving disc (5) has one leg (51) extending in radial direction and fastened on the output shaft (1) of the drive unit and one leg (52) extending in axial direction and fastened on supporting devices (4) of a housing (3) of the hydrodynamic converter (2). By recesses (10) spaced apart from each other in peripheral direction of the driving disc (5), there are formed in the leg (52) extending in axial direction bracket arrangements which serve to fasten the leg (52) extending in axial direction on supporting device (4) situated in the housing (3). The bracket arrangements are each formed by tongue-shaped brackets (11, 12; 11′, 12′) which seen in peripheral direction extend successively from both sides of the recess (10). The end areas of the brackets (11, 12; 11′, 12′) are each fastened on one supporting device (4).
