An electric motor of a pump drive of a motor vehicle, more particularly of an oil pump, having a rotor, which comprises a motor shaft mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation. The motor shaft is coupled by means of a freewheel to a motor support, the freewheel being held on the motor support by means of a securing device. Further disclosed is a pump drive of a motor vehicle.

An apparatus and method for easily and permanently leveling an appliance is described. The apparatus involves a modification to the appliance to support shims, and preferably the two-part adjustable leveling shims. Alternatively, a template for affixing two-part adjustable leveling shims is used between the appliance and the mounting surface.

A small-sized motor apparatus for a vehicle, includes: a frame; a drive shaft mounted to the frame, a driven shaft to rotate dependently on the drive shaft, the driven shaft including a second worm gear; a cover coupled to the frame; a plate-shaped washer member; and a gap spring member preventing an axial movement of the driven shaft, the gap spring member being assembled in a radial direction of the driven shaft and installed such that one side of the gap spring member is contact-supported by the plate-shaped washer member and the other side of the gap spring member is supported by the frame, wherein the frame includes a slide groove that accommodates both ends of the gap spring member and the plate-shaped washer member and restricts the gap spring member from moving in an axial direction of the driven shaft.

A pump height adjuster having spaced uprights on opposite sides of the pump, where each upright has a range of adjustment to cater for a range of inlet and outlet adapter sets, the uprights being on opposite sides of the pump for either continuously adjustable pump heights or discrete selectable pump heights along the adjuster. Each selectable height corresponds to a predetermined height position corresponding to a pump and adapter set. The vertical adjustment of the pump uses feet and with reference to the foot, the foot has a horizontal base and an upright with a vertical adjustment slot. The upright may have spaced notches physically marked 1-6 on the pump side of the upright and each of the notches may receive a rib on the pump so that the pump height may be set in advance, and a user may secure a replacement pump at the desired height.

It is provided an actuated machine having a main frame 100, a machine shaft 200 mounted on the main frame 100 by means of a bearing module 300, a gearless torque motor 400 coupled to the machine shaft 200 for driving a rotation of the machine shaft 200, a torque arm 500 coupled to the gearless torque motor 400, and a catching structure. The gearless torque motor 400 is coupled to the machine shaft 200 such that the gearless torque motor 400 is capable of following a translational movement of the machine shaft 200. The torque arm 500 is coupled to the gearless torque motor 400 for inhibiting a rotational motion of the gearless torque motor 400, relative to the main frame 100, about a central axis of the gearless torque motor. The catching structure is arranged underneath the gearless torque motor 400 for catching and holding the gearless torque motor 400 in case of a failure causing the gearless torque motor's weight to be no longer carried by the machine shaft 200.

A rotating machine system can include a rotating machine. The rotating machine system can include a housing. The housing can include an inner surface. The housing can surround at least a portion of the rotating machine. The inner surface of the housing can be spaced from the rotating machine such that a space is defined therebetween. The rotating machine system can include one or more super elastic wires. The one or more super elastic wires can be positioned in the space and can be operatively connected to the rotating machine and the inner surface of the housing. The one or more super elastic wires can reduce vibration within the rotating machine system.

A method for fixing a first component in a second component. At least part of an internal side of the second component is overmolded for a plastic sleeve, and the first component is centered and fixed within the plastic sleeve of the second component by a press-fit. Secure fixing of the first component in the second component is achieved in this way. A unit is formed by a method of this type.
