A method for generating a test profile includes calculating, using a spectrum calculation algorithm, a plurality of pseudo-damage spectra from a plurality of measurement signals previously recorded during a route journey of a test vehicle. The method further includes an extrapolation and superposition process where a plurality of extrapolated pseudo-damage spectra are generated by multiplying each of the pseudo-damage spectrum by a proportionality constant, and a superposed pseudo-damage spectrum is generated by adding together the plurality of extrapolated pseudo-damage spectra. Further, the method includes calculating a reference signal pseudo-damage spectrum using the spectrum calculation algorithm on a reference signal, and an extrapolated reference signal pseudo-damage spectrum by multiplying the reference signal pseudo-damage spectrum by the proportionality constant. Additionally, the method includes generating the test profile based on the superposed pseudo-damage spectrum and the extrapolated reference signal pseudo-damage spectrum.

Abrégé

A compressed air generation apparatus for an air spring arrangement having an air spring and a passive compressed air generator. The compressed air generator converts relative displacements of its two portions in at least one direction into generation of compressed air. The first portion is coupled to a first connection point for connection to a first spring portion of the air spring of the air spring arrangement. The second portion is coupled via a linkage to a second connection point to a second spring portion of the air spring of the air spring arrangement. Translational relative movements between the connection points cause the relative displacement of the two portions with respect to one another. The linkage converts an adjusting movement introduced into the second connection point with an adjusting force into a higher actuation force and a lower actuation movement at the second portion of the compressed air generator.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for checking the plausibility of a parameter involved in operation of a vehicle system, where the plausibility of the parameter sensed by a first sensor is checked by means of a second sensor, which likewise senses the parameter, by the examination of a first sensor signal (n(S1)) from the first sensor with a second sensor signal (n(S2)) from the second sensor. To make checking of the plausibility as reliable as possible, a differential signal (Δn) between the first sensor signal (n(S1)) and the second sensor signal (n(S2)) is formed and is compared with at least one threshold value (thd1, thd2). A measure is taken if the differential signal (Δn) exceeds the at least one threshold value (thd1, thd2) continuously for longer than a particular amount of time (tft1, tft2) associated with the at least one threshold value (thd1, thd2).

Abrégé

A method is provided for controlling the transmission ratio (105) in a continuously variable transmission that is included in a drivetrain of a vehicle. The transmission ratio (105) is controlled during traction operation such that a magnitude of torque acting on a drivetrain shaft does not overshoot a first limit function (101), which assigns a torque limit (107) to each transmission ratio (105), where the torque acts on the shaft at maximum torque load of the drivetrain in traction operation. The transmission ratio (105) is controlled during overrun operation such that a magnitude of torque acting on the shaft does not overshoot a second limit function (103), which assigns to every transmission ratio a torque limit (107) which acts on the shaft in the case of maximum torque load on a part of the drivetrain downstream of an engine of the drivetrain in overrun operation.

Abrégé

A method is described for preventing undesired travelling of a work machine (14) in a wrong direction, wherein the work machine (14) has an electric machine (2) for propelling the work machine (14). A desired direction of travel (FRW) of a driver of the work machine (14) is sensed (S1) and a state variable of the work machine (14) that correlates with an actual direction of travel of the work machine is sensed (S2). Furthermore, on the basis of a comparison of the sensed desired direction of travel (FRW) and the sensed state variable of the work machine, it is identified (S3) whether the electric machine (2) is in a safety-critical state. Then, if it has been identified that a safety-critical state exists, a signal is sent (S4) to the electric machine (2) to transfer the electric machine (2) into a state not suitable for propulsion. Furthermore, a control device (4) is described, which is designed to carry out such a method. In addition, the invention relates to a drive group (6) having such a control device (4), and to a work machine (14) having such a drive group (6).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a wet multi-plate clutch (1), comprising an inner plate carrier (2) which guides at least one inner plate (12) on a guide section (10), and an outer plate carrier (3) which guides at least one outer plate (8) on a guide section (6). The at least one inner plate (12) and the at least one outer plate (8) are arranged in an axially alternating manner and form a plate pack (14), wherein a control piston (17) is provided which, in the course of its axial displacement into its actuating position, exerts an axial actuating force on the plate pack (14) and thereby brings about a force-fitting connection between the inner plate carrier (2) and the outer plate carrier (3). By partially equipping the inner plate carrier (2) and the outer plate carrier (3) with inner plates (12) and outer plates (8), the plate pack (14) takes up only an axial partial area of the guide sections (6, 10), as a result of which the control piston (17) and the plate pack (14) are permanently separated from one another at an axial distance. A piston extension (30) is fastened to the control piston (17) and bridges the axial distance in the course of the axial displacement of the control piston (17) into its actuating position in that the piston extension (30) brings the control piston (17) indirectly axially into contact with the plate pack (14) and transmits the axial actuating force of the control piston (17) onto the plate pack (14).
