  • Patent number: 11428265
    Abstract: A newly built plain bearing has an inner ring and an outer ring each having a sliding surface along which the rings are movable relative to each other. The sliding surfaces are spaced from each other by an intermediate space that holds an initial greasing, and at least one of the sliding surfaces includes an anti-corrosion coating.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2022

  • Patent number: 10082176
    Abstract: A structural element has at least one slide layer and is formed to slide via the at least one slide layer along at least one line of motion. The slide layer includes a fiber-reinforced material containing at least one multi-component fiber that includes at least one first component, which is disposed in or on at least one first structure, and at least one second component, which is disposed in or on at least one second structure. The first and second structures are materially-bonded together and are disposed parallel to each other in a main extension direction of the at least one multi-component fiber. Either the first component or the second component is polytetrafluoroethylene. The structural element may be formed, e.g., as a bearing ring, a slide bearing bushing, a linear guide or a spherical bearing ring.

  • Patent number: 9061842
    Abstract: Method for automatically loading feed line with bulk material in suction delivery system having feed line, loading point, reservoir, and at least one material separator arranged at distance to reservoir. Method includes selecting target value for air speed for area of loading point, wherein for area of loading point, minimum target value and maximum target value for air speed are empirically determined from feed line parameters related to feed line and material parameters related to bulk material and values are stored in database. Method includes measuring in area of loading point one of air speed and quantity serving for determination of air speed in feed line and sending target value and measured value of air speed to controller. Method includes controlling air speed to target value via suction capacity, and adding bulk material in metered manner in dependence upon measured value of air speed when target value is reached.

  • Patent number: 7014683
    Abstract: A method for the regeneration of humidity-laden drying cartridges includes heating to 220 to 300° C. and introducing it into a drying cartridge for regeneration. Subsequent cooling of the drying cartridge is achieved by a partial stream of air diverted from the dried process air. An arrangement suitable for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20040173095
    Abstract: A method for regeneration of humidity-laden drying cartridges is disclosed, in which atmospheric air is heated to ca. 220 to 300° C. and introduced into the drying cartridge (24a, 24b) for regeneration. The subsequent cooling of the drying cartridge (24a, 24b) is achieved by means of a partial stream of air diverted from the dried process air. An arrangement suitable for carrying out said method is also disclosed.
