A hydraulic control apparatus is provided including: an electromagnetic valve that has an input port communicating with a supply destination unit of oil and a control port that is switched between communication and disconnection by resultant force of a hydraulic pressure of the supply destination unit and electromagnetic force; a variable displacement pump which has a suction port communicating with a supply source of the oil, an ejection port communicating with the supply destination unit, and a control chamber communicating with the control port and rotates in accordance with drive of the supply destination unit, in which an amount of the oil ejected to the supply destination unit through the ejection port changes in accordance with a pressure in the control chamber; and a control unit that controls a value of a necessary current that is caused to flow through the electromagnetic valve.

An assembly unit as a structural component for a lubricant pump, the assembly unit having a base plate, at least one pump element housing fixedly attached to the base plate with a pump element powered by a linear motion inserted therein, and further having an eccentric fixing to enable assembling an eccentric arrangement provided with a circumferential eccentric in a fixed relative position to the pump element inserted into the pump element housing.

Disclosed is a lubricant supply device, including at least a first housing section forming a reservoir for a lubricant, a second housing section including a feed pump for feeding the lubricant from the reservoir to a lubricant outlet and a motor driving at least the feed pump,
the motor being arranged in the first housing section forming the reservoir.

A method for controlling a continuously variable transmission is a control method for controlling in/out of oil to/from a primary oil chamber by using an oil pump provided in an oil passage between the primary oil chamber and a secondary oil chamber. The method for controlling the continuously variable transmission includes: a current command value calculation step of calculating a current command value for the oil pump in accordance with an operating state; a current limiting step of limiting the current command value to a lower-limit current at which belt slip does not occur when an oil pressure in the primary oil chamber falls below a lower-limit oil pressure in the primary oil chamber at which the belt slip does not occur; and a pump control step of driving the oil pump by using the current command value to control a piston position of the primary oil chamber.

This drive system for a motor vehicle includes a top end and a bottom end that are coupled together, a kinematic drive chain, a compressor, a main lubrication system, that includes a main circuit and a main pump, which supplies at least the bottom end with a main lubricant via the main circuit, and a secondary lubrication system, that includes at least one secondary circuit separated from the main circuit and at least one secondary pump separate from the main pump, the secondary pump supplying the top end and/or the compressor with a secondary lubricant via the secondary circuit. The secondary lubrication system includes at least one secondary actuator mechanically separate from the kinematic drive chain and that drives the secondary pump to supply the top end and/or the compressor with the secondary lubricant.

Systems are provided for an oil system including a filter with a large surface area. In one example, a system may include an oil filter with a prismatic shape. This shape may include a filter surface area greater than an inlet area of an oil port and the filter surface area may also be located a distance away from the oil port.

A variable oil pump includes a pump housing, an oil pump rotor accommodated in the pump housing, an adjustment member accommodated in the pump housing and configured to adjust a discharge amount of oil discharged from the oil pump rotor by displacing in a state where the adjustment member holds the oil pump rotor from an outer circumferential side in such a manner that the oil pump rotor is rotatable, and a guide portion including a guide hole provided at the adjustment member and a pin provided at the pump housing and engaging with the guide hole. The guide portion is configured to guide a displacement of the adjustment member relative to the pump housing by allowing the guide hole and the pin to engage with each other. The variable oil pump includes a drain passage configured to drain oil accumulated in the guide hole.

A two-stroke engine comprises a first oiling system and a second oiling system. The first oiling system includes a low-pressure pump that distributes oil from a first oil tank to the two-stroke engine. The second oiling system includes a pump mechanically coupled to a crankshaft of the two-stroke engine, wherein the pump distributes oil from a second oil tank to an accessory at a pressure greater than the first oil pressure, wherein oil distributed to the accessory is returned to the second oil tank.

A hydraulic control apparatus is provided including: an electromagnetic valve that has an input port communicating with a supply destination unit of oil and a control port that is switched between communication and disconnection by resultant force of a hydraulic pressure of the supply destination unit and electromagnetic force; a variable displacement pump which has a suction port communicating with a supply source of the oil, an ejection port communicating with the supply destination unit, and a control chamber communicating with the control port and rotates in accordance with drive of the supply destination unit, in which an amount of the oil ejected to the supply destination unit through the ejection port changes in accordance with a pressure in the control chamber; and a control unit that controls a value of a necessary current that is caused to flow through the electromagnetic valve.

A pump, comprising:

an accommodating housing which forms a cup-shaped accommodating space comprising an end-facing wall and a circumferential wall; and

a pump insert which is arranged in the accommodating space, wherein the pump insert comprises:

a rotor;

a first housing part and a second housing part, between which the rotor is arranged such that it can be rotated about a rotational axis and relative to the first and second housing part; and

a stroke ring which surrounds the rotor,

wherein an annular sealing element which is arranged between the end-facing wall and the second housing part encloses a pressure space which is formed between the end-facing wall and the second housing part, wherein the pressure space is connected via an outlet channel to a delivery chamber which is formed between the rotor and the stroke ring, and

wherein the spring comprises a spring structure which is made of metal and which imbues the spring with its essential spring characteristics, wherein the sealing element is fastened to the spring structure.
