Various embodiments include a robot unit for a technical apparatus comprising: a base connecting the robot unit to the technical apparatus; a first member pivot-mounted on the base; and a second member pivot-mounted on the base or the first member. The first member and the second member are each movable in one direction relative to a degree of freedom by a separate actuator. The first member and the second member are only movable together counter to the direction relative to the degree of freedom by a single counter actuator device.

The disclosure relates to a hybrid-electrical drive system for an aircraft having two subsystems that are largely independent of each other. A stator winding of a common electrical machine is assigned to each of the subsystems such that both subsystems may be supplied with electrical energy from the common electrical machine. If a defect occurs in one of the subsystems, the drive system may be configured such that electrical energy from a battery of the non-defective subsystem may be transferred into the defective subsystem by utilizing the two stator winding systems.

Various embodiments include a fastening unit for fastening a tendon to a system. The fastening unit comprises: a head with a first opening; a shaft with a second opening and an external thread; and a channel extending from the first opening along the head to the second opening at least partly along the shaft. The external thread and the channel in each case accommodate the tendon.

An actuator comprising: a piezo actuator; a drive having a drive chamber and a drive piston element driven by the piezo actuator; a first output having an output chamber and a piston element; and a second output having an output chamber and a piston element. At least part of the hydraulic fluid is conveyed out of the drive chamber by movement of the drive piston element and into the first output chamber. At least part of the hydraulic fluid is conveyed out of the drive chamber and into the second output chamber. The second output piston element has a hydraulically active second output face which is different in size from the first output face. There may be a coupling device mechanically coupling the first output piston element to the second output piston element.

The synchronous machine module includes a synchronous machine and a rotational speed controller for controlling a rotational speed of the synchronous machine, which rotational speed controller has a detector for detecting a variable which is formed by the effective power or is dependent thereon. The rotational speed controller is designed to set the rotational speed of the synchronous machine and/or the time profile thereof as a function of the detected variable and/or its time profile. The vehicle drive has such a synchronous machine module and a power generator, which in order to supply the synchronous machine module is connected thereto. The vehicle is, in particular, an aircraft and has such a vehicle drive and/or such a synchronous machine module.

A simplified magnetic reluctance coupling for coupling a first shaft to a second shaft, has a hollow cylindrical stator which has at least one magnet that is/are distributed around the circumference of the stator. The reluctance coupling also has a first rotor, which is supported in such a way that it can rotate within the stator, is connected to a first shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and has a plurality of ferromagnetic first portions distributed around the circumference thereof and spatially separated from one another, as well as a second rotor, which is supported in such a way that it can rotate within the first rotor, is connected to the second shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and has a plurality of ferromagnetic second portions distributed around the circumference thereof.

A method for driving a vehicle comprising at least two motors is provided. If a plurality of motors are fed from an intermediate circuit via inverters, the current in the intermediate circuit has a plurality of harmonics (&#x2212;5th, &#x2212;3th, &#x2212;1st, +1st, +3rd, +5th). To prevent coupling capacitors of the intermediate circuit becoming over-burdened, the switching frequency of the inverters is shifted in such a manner that the harmonics no longer fall into a resonance range.

Damage to an inverter due to an excessively high start-up current, when using space vector control without a voltage sensor in conjunction with small connection inductances, can be prevented with a method for controlling the inverter, and with a corresponding controller, wherein the controller is configured to transmit in a start-up phase of an inverter circuit a control signal to a control input of the inverter circuit, wherein the control signal simultaneously switches three first semiconductor switches, which are connected to a first DC voltage terminal of the inverter circuit, temporarily into a conducting state.

For an object on a bearing mounting having a magnetic bearing providing a magnetic field generally produced by an electromagnet, the bearing is regulated based on a position of the object relative to the bearing. The position of the object is determined by reference to an estimate of the inductance obtained using a least squares method, in which the electrical resistance of the bearing is taken into account. The resistance is subject to variations, for example due to temperature fluctuations; however, the electrical resistance can be estimated by regulating the inductance error, &#x394;{circumflex over (L)}={circumflex over (L)}&#x2212;{circumflex over (L)}down to zero, where the resistance adjustment facility may be a low-pass filter and an integration controller.
