The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a shaped part from a circular blank, wherein the circular blank is rotated and at least one compression roller is radially applied to an outer edge of the circular blank, said compression roller having a circumferential shaping groove. The outer edge of the circular blank is compressed to form a thickened region, which is shaped according to the shaping groove of the compression roller to form a thickened edge contour. With the radial compression, at least two axial shaped rollers are applied to an outer region of the circular blank, which cooperate when shaping the edge contour. According to the invention, at least in a starting phase of the radial compression, the two axial shaped rollers are applied to the thickened region at an axial shaping distance to one another, which distance is smaller than an axial width of the shaping groove of the compression roller, wherein the thickened region is axially compressed back.

In order to minimize the sliding friction occurring between the locking parts, that is, between the pawl and the rotary latch of a motor vehicle lock, it is advantageous if, during the machining process, the different latch surfaces of both locking parts are provided with a punched contour and with a contour having a oblique machining groove. Machining grooves are formed, in particular on the latch surface thereof, after stamping the pawl. Defined shapes of oblique channels and/or machining grooves are produced, for example, by milling out the machining grooves. The oblique machining grooves are produced at a defined angle and guarantee that the straight channels on the rotary latch only have a few overlapping points with the oblique grooves, if both locking parts come into contact with each other.

A planetary drive includes a planet carrier and planetary gears. The carrier includes two axially-facing carrier plates and at least one connecting element. The connecting element is a linear strip of metal that is bent to take the shape of a cylinder for assembly. The strip of metal connects the two carrier plates while maintaining them in a spaced apart relationship. The strip includes a plurality of openings or holes for receiving a part of the planetary gears as they rotate. The strip is a separate element from the carrier plates, but is assembled to and between the plates.

A method may be used to produce a connecting element for transmitting rotational movements, wherein the connecting element has a joint outer part or flange and a connecting pin. The object of providing a method for producing a connecting element with a joint outer part or flange and a connecting pin, with which method weight-optimized connecting elements can be produced in a simple manner, is achieved in that a round-plate-like or tubular blank is deformed by flow forming or flow turning to form the connecting element.
