Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG patent applications published on November 30th, 2023
Summary of the patent applications from Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG on November 30th, 2023
Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG has recently filed patents for various inventions related to controllers, temperature measurement devices, electric drive units, actuators, cable glands, rotary actuator assemblies, sealing arrangements, and machining devices.
In summary, the patents filed by Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG include:
- A controller consisting of multiple circuit boards and a support structure to hold each board in place. The support structure has multiple loading surfaces arranged vertically, with oblique fingers extending from each loading surface. Each circuit board is positioned between a loading surface and a corresponding finger on the support structure.
- A device for measuring the temperature of a coil device in an electric machine. The device includes a temperature sensor, a first section that generates a restoring force, a second section that houses the temperature sensor, a third section with a fixing element, and a fourth section that generates another restoring force. The first and second restoring forces work in the same direction, and the second section is positioned between the first and fourth sections.
- An electric drive unit consisting of an electric motor and a housing. The housing has a heat exchanging wall portion with an inner surface forming a fluid jacket cavity for carrying a first fluid, and an outer surface forming a fluid chamber for carrying a second fluid. Heat is transferred between the first and second fluids through the heat exchanging wall portion.
- An actuator consisting of a housing with a cavity, a hub placed inside the cavity, a controller supported by the hub within the cavity, and potting compound surrounding the controller. The actuator is designed for controlled movement or operation and may have potential applications in fields such as robotics, automation, or mechanical systems.
- A cable gland used to secure and seal a cable in a housing. The cable gland includes a body, a cover, and an insert. The body fits into an opening in a housing and has a tube forming a cavity around an axis. The cover is threaded onto the tube to seal the body to the housing, and the insert is placed inside the cavity to hold the cable, with ribs engaging the tube for stability and support.
- A rotary actuator assembly with a gearbox housed within a cavity of a housing. The gearbox has a fixed gear with elevations on its outer surface that engage the housing and secure the gear to the housing.
- A sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing, including a carrier element, a resilient sealing element with multiple sealing lips, and a counterflow plate. The sealing lips make sliding contact with the counterflow plate, ensuring proper sealing between the parts.
- A device for machining rolling element pockets in a workpiece. It includes a workpiece support, a main spindle, a clamping means, a pressure cylinder, and a machining tool. The device allows for precise control of the machining process.
Notable applications of these inventions include temperature measurement in electric machines, heat transfer in electric drive units, controlled movement in actuators, cable sealing in housing, secure fixation of gears in rotary actuator assemblies, effective sealing in wheel bearings, and precise machining of rolling element pockets in workpieces.
