Abstract: A housing of a radial press has a casing section and an annular end-face support disc. An annular structure is movably guided in the housing along a press axis, and multiple press jaws arranged about the press axis are supported on the support disc so as to be movably guided in the radial direction. The annular structure acts on the press jaws by means of control surfaces which are inclined relative to the press axis and which lie against press jaw counter surfaces designed in the form of sliding surfaces. The end face of the ring structure facing the support disc is designed with axial protrusions. Each control surface protrudes into the radial inner surface of one such protrusion, and the support disc has recesses which are paired with the protrusions and into which the protrusions enter when the radial press is closed.

Abstract: A hydraulic unit has a hydraulic component, a hydraulic line connected to a hydraulic connection of the hydraulic component, and a hose and fitting connected to the hydraulic connection. A tear-out preventer having a cable loop secured by a cable clamp acts on the hose. The cable clamp comprises a clamping block, which has two crossing passages and a rivet. A first passage, through which the cable is guided, has, in the region of the crossing with the second passage, a width corresponding to at least double the thickness of the cable plus the diameter of the non-deformed rivet. The second passage is configured in a stepped manner with a narrow primary portion arranged on one side of the first passage and a wide secondary portion arranged on the other side. The rivet braces the two strands of the cable against the inner wall of the first passage.
