A housing includes an accommodation space for a prime mover and a speed reducer. A rotational translation unit includes a rotation portion that rotates relative to the housing upon receiving torque outputted from the speed reducer, and a translation portion that moves relative to the housing in an axial direction according to rotation of the rotation portion. The accommodation space is between the rotation portion and the housing. A clutch in a clutch space allows or interrupts transmission of torque between a first transmission portion and a second transmission portion. The rotation portion is between the clutch space and the accommodation space. A sealing member has an annular shape in contact with the rotation portion, and maintains an air-tight or liquid-tight state between the accommodation space and the clutch space.

Compressor rotor having seal elements

A compressor rotor for turbomachinery, such as a compressor, is provided. Disclosed embodiments can benefit from seal elements that may be arranged to inhibit passage onto respective hirth couplings of process fluid being processed by the compressor. A seal element may be affixed to adjacent rotor components (e.g., adjacent impeller bodies) by way of a slip or interference fit connection to one of the adjacent components and may be affixed to the other adjacent rotor component by way of a elastically flexible frustoconical inner surface of the seal element that permits the seal element to be placed in a spring-loaded condition, which generates a biasing force to circumferentially clamp onto a frustoconical outer surface of the other adjacent rotor component. This arrangement is conducive to user-friendly assembly/disassembly of the seal elements with respect to the adjacent rotor components.

The main body (8) and the guide shaft (10) are separate elements, wherein the guide shaft (10) is fixed to a fixing portion (16). The main body (8) is made from a first material (M1) and the guide shaft (10) is made from a second material (M2) having a higher wear resistance than the first material (M1). The actuator may be used in a clutch assembly (104) and a commercial vehicle (101).

Cooling-oil guiding element, and drive train and hybrid module having said cooling-oil guiding element

A cooling oil guiding device for a clutch actuatable by an axially movable piston. The piston is radially inward of the clutch, and separates a pressure space and a compensation space. The compensation space is delimited by an axially stationary compensation space cover and a seal cover coupled to the piston. The compensation space cover and the seal cover axially overlap radially outwardly and are axially movable relative to one another via a sealing element. An overflow opening connects the compensation space to an oil channel in the seal cover between the seal cover and the piston, the oil channel opens radially outward. A control edge is provided at a component part axially immovable relative to the piston, by which an oil flow exiting from the oil channel is guided through the clutch when the clutch is closed and is guided past the clutch when the clutch is open.
