  • Publication number: 20020037124
    Abstract: An elastic bearing suspension for a shaft bearing (1) is described. The shaft bearing (1) is connected on the outside radially to at least one stop buffer (2) made of an elastomer material, the stop buffer (2) being connected to a first supporting ring (5) arranged adjacent to and at an axial distance (4) from the shaft bearing (1) by way of at least one fold (3) made of an elastomer material which extends in the axial direction and has a V-shape as seen in the longitudinal sectional of the shaft bearing (1), the first supporting ring (5) being connected to one of the end faces (6) of a stop sleeve (7), the other end face (8) of the stop sleeve (7) surrounding the stop buffer (2) on the outer circumference at a radial distance.

  • Patent number: 6061226
    Abstract: There is proposed a circuit for operation of at least one relay having an OFF-position and an ON-position, wherein the relay assumes the OFF-position in the event of a component failure of any element of the circuit. In the ON-position of the relay a capacitor, the relay and a voltage source are switched in a predetermined cycle in such a way that in a first time interval of the cycle the voltage source delivers a current which flows through the relay and partially charges up the capacitor and that in a second time interval of the cycle the capacitor delivers the current which flows through the relay, with the capacitor being partially discharged again.
