Abstract:
A fluid pump, in particular for the cooling or heating circuit of a motor vehicle, has a claw pole stator and a rotor that is separated from the claw pole stator by a tube, is immersed in a fluid, and has a vane wheel. Claws (25) of the claw pole stator (21) are an integral component of the tube (11), which is part of a motor housing (2), and the number of mounting steps is thus reduced.
Abstract:
A weld rivet joint between one or more components and a base component is provided. The one or more components have a hole through which a weld rivet having a head projects with its shank. The shank is welded to the surface of the base component by its end face and is plastically deformed. The weld rivet has a shank that is shorter than its head diameter, and in a transition region between head and shank a continuous annular recess is provided for the accommodation of material displaced in the riveting process and/or for tolerance compensation.
Abstract:
A method for launching an automatic vehicle transmission utilizing dual clutches in place of a torque converter avoids clutch overheating, sudden launch or roll-back by placing a clutch in a slip mode only after the vehicle's brakes have been actuated and fully disengaging the clutch upon over-heating detection. When launch is initiated, a first gear engaged and the brakes are released, the associated clutch is fully engaged to avoid overheating.
Abstract:
For connecting a shaft to a rotating component, especially of a shaft to a turbine wheel of an exhaust gas turbocharger, an intermediate component is provided by means of which the shaft is connected indirectly to the rotating component. The connection between the rotating component and the intermediate component is a form-locking and/or force-locking connection, especially a riveted connection. The invention further relates to a method for producing said connection.
Abstract:
A workpiece according to the invention has a recess that is compressed by means of a plastic deformation, which reduces one dimension or an inner diameter of the workpiece and thus joins this workpiece to an inner piece in a positively and frictionally engaging manner.
