A dehumidifying device for a housing, in particular an electronics housing of an electromotor with a dehumidifying chamber includes a wall inside of which a hygroscopic material is received which is designed to bind air moisture from the dehumidifying chamber. The wall of the dehumidifying chamber includes at least one inner membrane permeable to vapor which can be brought into an active connection with an inner receiving space of the housing and an outer membrane which can be brought into an active connection with the outside environment of the housing. The at least one inner membrane and the outer membrane are permeable to vapor at least in a direction in which a transport of air moisture out of the inner receiving space of the housing through the dehumidifying chamber into an outside environment can be ensured.

A stator for an electrical machine, in particular for an electromotive drive machine for an electric or hybrid vehicle, includes a stator core stack with a stator yoke and a number of radial stator teeth, as well as a corresponding number of stator slots, arranged between the stator teeth, for receiving a stator winding. A cooling apparatus has a number of cooling channels, each of which runs axially in one of the stator slots.

A power tool includes a main body and a battery pack. The main body includes a housing and a motor, a switch assembly, and an electronic control device. The electronic control device is electrically connected to the switch assembly and the motor. The electronic control device includes an electronic control assembly, a mounting base, and a connecting assembly. The electronic control assembly includes a power circuit board. The power circuit board is provided with an opening. The connecting assembly conductively connects the battery pack to the electronic control assembly, connects to the mounting base via the opening, and mates with the mounting base to form a mounting space in which the electronic control assembly is mounted.

In an electrical machine for the hybrid drive of a vehicle, an annular cooling jacket extends between a housing and a casing. The cooling jacket is connected to a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet so that coolant is axially introduced into the cooling jacket. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are situated next to each other in the circumferential direction of the housing and are hydraulically connected to a deflection section by way of coolant ducts. Coolant introduced into the cooling jacket flows in two partial flows in opposite directions, to the deflection section through coolant ducts forming an intake. The coolant is deflected back to the coolant outlet through a coolant duct forming a return. The coolant flows through the coolant duct of the return and the axially adjacent coolant duct of the intake in opposite directions.

A method for securing metallic first and second parts together includes positioning filler metal along an interface between the first and second parts. The first and second parts are inserted into a fixture such that at least one of the first and second parts engages the fixture. The fixture is heated with at least one electrical heating element to heat the filler metal by thermal conduction above a melting point of the filler metal and form metallurgical bonds between the filler metal and the first and second parts. The melted filler metal is cooled to join the first and second parts together.

A cooling apparatus for an electric linear motor includes a carrier element configured for placement on an active part of the electric linear motor, a cooling element, and a retaining element configured to mount the cooling element on the carrier element. The retaining element has a first planar area on a side facing the active part of the electric linear motor and a second planar area on a side facing away from the active part of the electric linear motor. The retaining element has an opening sized to extend between the first and second planar areas for passage of a fastening element. Each of the first and second planar areas has formed therein a cutout circulating around the opening, with a sealing element being received in the cutout.
