Abstract: A replaceable attachment for an ultrasound probe includes a ring-like fastening region for fastening the attachment to the ultrasound probe, and a flexible membrane arranged on the fastening region. A first liquid or gel-like contact medium is applied to an inner contact surface of the membrane. The contact surface makes contact with an end face of the ultrasound probe when an attachment is fastened to the ultrasound probe. Before the attachment is fastened, the first contact medium is distributed on the contact surface in such a manner that, in an array region of the contact surface, a quantity of the first contact medium per surface is at least twice as large as in a remaining region of the contact surface. A positioning and extent of the array region is adapted to a positioning and extent of a piezo array of the ultrasound probe.

Abstract: An arc-shaped rolling bearing segment (14) comprising a cage (16) and rolling elements (15) for a swash plate pivoting bearing of a hydraulic axial piston machine is characterized in that the cage (16) and the support peg (17) are made as a single piece out of a polymer material, and the support peg (17) is surrounded, at least over a part of its axial length, by a metal ring (18).

Abstract: A wobble drive in an axial piston machine, particularly the axial piston pump of a high-pressure cleaning device, having a wobble body (1) rotatable around an axis of rotation (D) and a wobble plate (2) driving with its front side at least one piston (10a) positioned parallel to the axis of rotation D, a roller bearing (3) positioned between the wobble body (1) and the wobble plate (2) exhibiting a bearing axis inclined to the axis of rotation (D). In order to insure even at elevated rotary speeds of the wobble body (1) and thus also of the rolling bodies (6) that the rolling bodies (6) are securely held in their races (4,5) in spite of the elevated centrifugal forces acting on them, it is proposed that the wobble plate (2) be provided with a rim (7) overlapping the wobble body (1), with the rolling bodies (6) being positioned between the rim (7) and the wobble body (1).
