  • Patent number: 11919131
    Abstract: A hydraulically actuated working device having a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic piston that can be displaced in the hydraulic cylinder, a drive unit part which has a motor and a pump, and a hydraulic line leading to the hydraulic cylinder. The drive unit part is designed in an electrically insulating manner, to provide an electrically insulating separating layer, which passes through the working device in a crossing manner for electrical separation from the working device part with respect to an end of the hydraulic piston facing the drive unit part. The hydraulic line is guided through the separating layer, thereby also forming a partial region of the hydraulic line made of an electrically insulating material.

  • Patent number: 11878398
    Abstract: A pressing tool performs a pressing operation for the press fitting of parts. One part can have different outer dimensions within a specified range. A tool part acts on the part, is a part of a pivoting jaw which has an action surface, and can be pivoted about a pivot axis from a starting position having a greatest opening width to a pressing position having a smaller opening width. A hydraulic piston movable in a hydraulic cylinder applies a piston force, depending on a hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. A higher pressing force is in effect when a greater opening width of the pivoting jaw is provided and when the maximum piston force is reached. When any opening width that is smaller than the greater opening width is provided, a pressing force lower than the higher pressing force is in effect when the maximum piston force is reached.

  • Patent number: 11738428
    Abstract: A method for operating a hydraulically actuated work tool having a work jaw is provided. Once an increase in force applied as a result of a hydraulic pressure has been reached, the work process does not require any further force or a maximum permissible hydraulic pressure has been reached. The hydraulic pressure is applied by a pump piston that travels through a pump path and a return path in each pump cycle. The hydraulic pressure is recorded over a time for a change from a pressure increase range to a pressure-maintaining range corresponding substantially to a specific pressure value from the pump path into the return path. At the end of a pump cycle, if the reached pressure-maintaining range exceeds a predefined pressure-maintaining range, an indication is concluded that the tool needs to be checked for a break in the work jaw.

  • Patent number: 11684984
    Abstract: A tool configured to cut a workpiece includes a tool head which has a receiving contour in which the workpiece is received, and a movable cutting edge with a cutting contour. In the course of a cutting process, the cutting edge passes through the receiving contour. The cutting edge is subjected to the effect of an advancement part and can be moved to such an extent in the cutting direction(s) that it can pass all the way through the workpiece. In an embodiment, a position of the cutting edge reached after the cutting edge has passed all the way through the workpiece, the cutting edge, with removal from the advancement part, can be moved out from the cutting direction(s).

  • Patent number: 11612990
    Abstract: A hydraulically operated handheld device and a method of operating same are provided. The device includes a hydraulic pump, a moving part, a fixed part and a return valve with an associated valve seat. The moving part is moved into a working position due to the buildup of a hydraulic pressure by filling a hydraulic chamber with hydraulic medium from a reservoir with the aid of the hydraulic pump. The moving part can be automatically moved back from the working position into an end position upon reaching a predefined working pressure by opening the return valve. The hydraulic pressure acting upon the return valve is increased by a separately triggerable pressure increase, which results in opening of the return valve, in a hydraulic medium volume located upstream of the return valve in a flow direction of the hydraulic medium during the movement into the end position.

  • Patent number: 11548128
    Abstract: A device and method for operating a motor-actuated working device is provided. A certain working operation requires a rise in an applied force to a certain working force. The device enables a rise in the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force and an apparatus is provided for monitoring the device value. For the certain working operation, an evaluation is performed to detect the characteristic change and that the attainment of the characteristic change is used as a signal for ending the certain working operation after the certain working force has been attained but before the general working force has been attained.
