A rotor segment of an electric machine may include a rotor shaft and a laminated core, which is arranged on the rotor shaft in such a way that a gap dimensioned sufficiently large in the radial direction for the passage of a cooling medium is produced between an outer surface of a hollow cylinder shell and an inner surface of the laminated core. The rotor segment may further include two pressure elements that are held on the rotor shaft in a stationary manner such that the pressure elements axially clamp the laminated core. Further, at least one of the pressure elements is designed as a holding segment allowing cooling medium to pass through.

Rotor segment of an electric machine

A device may be used to assemble a rotor segment of an electric machine. The rotor segment may include a rotor shaft, a laminated core joined to the rotor shaft, and two pressure elements that clamp the laminated core. A method for assembling the rotor segment may involve positioning the rotor shaft in the device and orienting the rotor shaft using an orienting means of the assembly device, positioning the laminated core and at least one of the first or second pressure elements within a clamping means of the device, orienting the laminated core by means of a positioning module of the clamping means, and moving the rotor shaft relative to the clamping means such that the laminated core is pushed onto the rotor shaft and the at least one of the first or second pressure elements is connected to the rotor shaft.

Method and assembly device for assembling an electric machine

A camshaft module may include a module body in which at least one camshaft for controlling valves for a charge cycle of an internal combustion engine is accommodated. The camshaft may comprise a support shaft and sliding cam pieces that are accommodated on the support shaft so as to be displaceable in an axial direction of the support shaft. A support element may also be provided on which actuators for the axial displacement of the sliding cam pieces are accommodated. The support element may extend in the axial direction and therefore parallel to the support shaft. In some cases, a coefficient of thermal expansion of the support element substantially corresponds to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the support shaft.

Camshaft module

An adjustable camshaft can be used in valve drives of internal combustion engines, amongst other places. The adjustable camshaft may include an outer shaft and an inner shaft that is concentric with and rotatably supported in the outer shaft. A cam having a cam bore may be rotatably supported on an outer surface of the outer shaft so as to form a slide bearing gap between the cam and the outer shaft. The cam may be rotatably-fixed to the inner shaft so that the inner shaft and the cam rotate with one another. Furthermore, the adjustable camshaft may include an oil channeling groove disposed beneath the cam in the outer surface of the outer shaft. In many cases, at least one side of the oil channeling groove may be exposed such that it extends beyond the slide bearing gap and the cam.

Adjustable camshaft

An oil-separating device for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine may include a hollow member that extends axially in a longitudinal axis and through which a gas flow charged with oil can flow. The gas flow may flow against an oil separation ring disposed within or formed in the hollow member. The hollow member may contain a substantially rotationally symmetrical flow guiding member that has a flow projection located in the longitudinal axis and that has a flow contour that radially increases in a downstream direction so that gas can flow around the flow guiding member and so that the gas flow between the flow contour and the inner side of the hollow member can strike the oil separation ring in an accelerated manner.

Oil-separating device, in particular for a crankcase ventilation system of an internal combustion engine

A camshaft may include a shaft on which at least one sliding element is received in such a way as to be axially displaceable along a shaft axis. The shaft may comprise an external longitudinal spline structure that meshes with an internal spline structure of a passage in the sliding element such that the sliding element is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the shaft. The sliding element, on its axial end faces, may comprise guiding portions by way of which the sliding element is guided on the shaft to minimize an axial offset of the sliding element. Further, guiding sleeves against which the guiding portions of the sliding element are supported may be received on the shaft.

Camshaft comprising an axially guided sliding element

The invention relates to a camshaft comprising a support shaft formed as a hollow shaft. An inner shaft is arranged concentrically in the interior of the support shaft, wherein the inner shaft is rotatable relative to the support shaft. There is arranged on the support shaft a first cam segment with a first recess for receiving the support shaft, which cam segment is rotatable with respect to the support shaft and is connected in a rotationally conjoint manner to the inner shaft via a first opening in the support shaft. The first cam segment has at least two cam contours. The connection between the inner shaft and the first cam segment is furthermore configured such that the first cam segment is axially displaceable relative to the inner shaft and to the support shaft.

Camshaft

An oil separator may be used in a variety of contexts, one of which is for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine. The oil separator may include a hollow member that extends along a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a gas flow that is charged with oil. The oil separator may also include an oil separation member disposed within the hollow member and against which the gas flow flows. A redirection member may be disposed proximate the oil separation member in the hollow member, wherein the redirection member redirects at least a portion of the gas flow traveling substantially along the longitudinal axis radially outwards so as to impact an inner side of the oil separation member. As a result of an impactor effect from the gas flow striking the oil separation member as well as the inertia of the oil, the oil may remain in and/or pass through the oil separation member.

Oil separator for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine

An adjustable camshaft for a valve drive of an internal combustion engine may include an inner shaft extending through an outer shaft with a cam element disposed on the outer shaft. The cam element may be connected rotationally conjointly to the inner shaft. The cam element may have a shaft passage with an internal bearing surface, which, together with a bearing surface on an outer side of the outer shaft, forms a plain bearing arrangement for the rotatable arrangement of the cam element on the outer shaft. The bearing surface on the outer side of the outer shaft and/or the internal bearing surface of the shaft passage of the cam element may include one or more sections with a spherical shape.

An adjustable camshaft can be used in a valve drive of an internal combustion engine. The adjustable camshaft may include an inner shaft rotatably supported by and concentric with an outer shaft. A cam element may be rotatably supported on the outer shaft such that the outer shaft extends through a cam bore of the cam element. The cam element may be rotatably-fixed to the inner shaft, in some cases, by way of a bolt. Further, a bearing sleeve that is rotatably-fixed to the cam element may be inserted within the cam bore such that a slide bearing gap is formed between the bearing sleeve and the outer shaft. Furthermore, in some examples the cam element may be a collared cam that has a cam base body and a cam collar adjacent to one another.

The invention relates to an adjustable camshaft for the valve gear of an internal combustion engine, comprising an outer shaft, on which at least one first cam is arranged and connected to the outer shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and an inner shaft extending through the outer shaft, to which inner shaft at least one second cam is connected in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the second cam connected to the inner shaft in a rotationally fixed manner has a cam hole and is rotatably supported on a seating point on the outer shaft. According to the invention, at least one oil groove is introduced at the seating point in the outer shaft and/or in the inner wall of the cam hole, into which oil groove oil is guided from a gap between the outer shaft and the inner shaft through at least one passage extending through the outer shaft.

Camshaft having adjustable cams that can be oiled by means of pressure oil

An oil-laden gas stream flows axially through a tube shaft formed with at least one radially throughgoing inner oil-discharge port and, axially downstream therefrom, with at lest one radially throughgoing inner gas-discharge port. A bearing supports the tube shaft for rotation about the axis and is formed axially level with the ports with respective radially throughgoing outer oil-discharge and gas-discharge ports. An oil separator inside the tube shaft axially between the oil-discharge ports and the gas-discharge ports is oriented to deflect oil particles from the stream radially outward such that the oil flows out through the inner and outer oil-discharge ports and the gas stream can flow downstream out through the gas-discharge ports.

Tube shaft with integrated oil separator

A camshaft arrangement having two shafts disposed coaxially, one inside the other. A connecting element is inserted into a receptacle in the inner shaft, such that a part of the connecting element protrudes out of the receptacle, and that the protruding part is inserted at least partially in a recess, the recess is designed to be open at least toward an end face of the inner shaft cam, and that the protruding part has at least two opposite side surfaces contacting two corresponding inner surfaces of the recess of each inner shaft cam with a force fit. The further connecting element is designed as a radial pin pressed through a hole in the inner shaft cam element into a receptacle of the inner shaft.
