Abstract:
A clutch release sleeve (3) for an actuator (1) that releases a separating clutch, in particular a separating clutch that is hydraulically actuated and is mounted between an internal combustion engine and a shift gear box, consists among others of a housing, in which an actuating sleeve (2) slides in the longitudinal direction. The actuating sleeve (2) has a ring flange (5) that is outwardly oriented in the radial direction and whose side facing the separating clutch supports the clutch release sleeve (3). The clutch release sleeve (3) has an outer ring (6) secured against rotation and a revolving inner ring (10) between which rolling bodies are guided. The outer ring (6) has a radial shoulder (7) upon which it rests on the ring flange (5), supported by a resilient member. A U-shaped angle disk (8) arranged between the shoulder (7) and the ring flange (5) lies against the shoulder (7) at its inner side and its free end, which is designed as a resilient member, exercises an axial force upon the shoulder (7).
Abstract:
A device for the simultaneous actuation of at least two gas shuttle valves (2) takes the form of a bridge (3). To separate the bridge (3) from a lifting movement of a cam (4), according to the invention a lockable and unlockable cam follower component (7) can be applied in the bridge (3).
Abstract:
The proposed chain tightener is provided with a damping piston (3) in a guide bore (2). A stop ring (8) is provided between the damping piston (3) and the housing (1). The stop ring (8) cooperates with grooves (9, 17, 13) and stops (11, 10, 14) on the housing (1) and on the damping piston (3), preventing the damping piston (3) from sliding too far into the housing (1). To allow the damping piston (3) to be locked in position in the bore (2), it is proposed that the stop ring (8) should be clamped in a locking position between two contact surfaces (12, 16) on the housing (1) and damping piston (3) respectively, the contact surfaces (12, 16) being inclined in relation to the axis of the damping piston.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a tensioning device for a traction mechanism drive. The tensioning device comprises a fixed housing and a pivotable tensioning roller carrier which together form a pivot bearing. The tensioning device is provided with an arrangement for damping the pivot movement as a function of its direction. According to the invention, the damping arrangement (14) comprises a friction ring (13) having a plurality of friction surfaces (16, 17) which are disposed in different directions, which can be acted upon independently of one another, and which co-operate with the fixed housing (2) for the directional damping of the pivot movement irrespective of the sense of rotation.
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to design a simple longitudinal-position fixation for a rocking arm (2, 9) on a pivot axis designed as a shaft (8). The invention achieves this by calling for part of the shaft (8), which is surrounded by a bore (7) in the rocking arm (2, 9), to have an annular groove (10) in which a spring ring (13) is located, the outer part (12) of the spring ring being located in a recess (14) having the shape of a groove (13) running round the bore (7) in the rocking arm (2, 9).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a roller bearing cage (1), especially for cylindrical roller and needle roller bearings, which has, at at least one point of its periphery, extending from both frontal surfaces (3, 4), an axial indent (5, 6), the indents (5, 6) defining a coupling component (7). The cage of the invention is characterized in that the indents (5, 6), which extend substantially over the entire width of the roller bearing cage (1), are in staggered array in the circumferential direction so that the coupling component (7) connects the roller bearing cage (1) at its diagonally opposite edges (9, 10). Owing to the connection of the diagonally opposite edges (9, 10) of the roller bearing cage, extremely great flexibility of the cage (1) in the circumferential direction is attained with good lateral guidance.
Abstract:
In a valve gear (1) of an internal combustion engine, consisting of a tappet (4) axially movable in a drilling (2) in a cylinder head (3) and the base of which can be actuated by a cam surface (6) of a cam (8) projecting from a camshaft (7), the surface pressure occurring is to be reduced. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the material of the cam (8) and the tappet (4) has a modulus of elasticity which is lower than or equal to 0.5 times that of steel.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the continuous adjustment of the phase position of a camshaft drive. A two-point adjustment is known which has a piston to which a pressurised medium can be applied on both sides, the axial movement of which simultaneously produces an angular shifting between the crankshaft and camshaft position. In order to exert pressure on the piston, the pressurised medium is disadvantageously supplied via the camshaft bearings and a drilling made in the camshaft to be supplied. It is the purpose of the invention to provide a pressurised medium supply for the adjusting components which is separate from the camshaft bearing and lubrication system. The invention has an adjuster (3) in which the pressurised medium is supplied frontally and axially via two separate line connection (6, 7).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a roller tappet (1) with hydraulic valve-play compensation. The tappet comprises a cylindrical housing (2) in which an inner housing (9) is fitted. Disposed concentrically inside the inner housing (9) is a play-compensation element (11) connected to an oil reservoir (12). The tappet further comprises a support roller (5) which is acted on by a cam (3) on a cam shaft, a piston (10) fitted concentrically in the inner housing (9) so that it can move along the longitudinal axis (8) of the inner housing, and at least one non-return valve (17). The invention calls for the support roller (5) to be mounted in the piston (10) and at least partly spatially integrated in the piston (10). This design enables the height of the tappet to be reduced.
Abstract:
A clamping device (10) for a movable table (2) along one or several guiding rails (1) over guiding elements (3) with mutually opposed tracks (4, 5, 6, 7) has a base body (11) which partially encloses the corresponding guiding rail (1) with clamping elements (12, 13) that can be adjusted with respect to the tracks (4, 5, 6, 7). Since the clamping elements (12, 13) are directly supported with their clamping surfaces on the tracks (4, 5, 6, 7) when a clamping pressure is applied thereon by a piston, the clamping forces cause no displacement of the guiding elements or the table.
