An electromagnetic actuator for operating a final control element has at least one solenoid which is arranged in a housing and acts upon an armature constructed of laminations oriented essentially toward control element. The control element may be a charge cycle valve. At least one lamination of the armature has at least one passage opening which forms a duct for transporting a medium.

Electromagnetic actuator for operating a final control element

Brake disc for motor vehicles, with a bowl-shaped brake-disc chamber having a wall region and a bottom region, and with a disc-shaped friction ring surrounding the brake-disc chamber coaxially with respect to a common mid-axis, the friction ring having, on its inner circumference, clearances, into which projections formed on the wall region of the brake-disc chamber engage for the play-free transmission of a torque acting on the friction ring to the brake-disc chamber.

Brake disc, especially for an automobile

A method for the production of hollow shafts from welded or seamlessly produced steel tubes having a maximum carbon content of 0.35% includes (1) carburizing a tube to a carbon content greater than 0.5%; (2) slowly cooling the carburized steel tube down from the process temperature, so that it undergoes no increase in hardness; (3) machining and/or non-cutting processing the carburized and soft steel tube to produce a workpiece blank; and (4) hardening the workpiece blank by local heating and quenching at desired points.

Method for the manufacture of hollow shafts

The invention resides in a hollow rocker-arm shaft with multiple internal passages for an internal combustion engine which rocker-arm shaft consists of two shell sections forming circular segments which are welded together by a weld seam extending along the longitudinal edges of the circular segments and at least one dividing wall extends through the interior of the hollow shaft between the weld seams and divides the interior of the hollow shaft into at least two passages.

Hollow rocker-arm shaft for internal combustion engines

A process for the production of a valve, in particular a charge cycle valve of an internal-combustion engine, having a separately produced hollow valve shank with a widening shank section arranged at the valve-side end, which is connected to a valve disk of highly heat resistant material. The valve shank is produced from a tubular starting material by cold forming to the shank diameter, and subsequently a transitional region lying between reduced valve shank and starting material is shaped as a shank section widening in the form of an arc. The valve shank is severed at the widening shank section at a point corresponding to the diameter of the point of connection between valve disk and valve shank.
