Abstract: The invention describes a conditioning medium, the use thereof in mediating in the adhesion of a hardenable mixture to a shaped article, and a method of pretreating the surfaces of shaped articles made of filler-containing high-temperature-resistant plastics for the purpose of better adhesion of hardenable mixtures to those shaped articles, and also the method products resulting therefrom, especially conditioned shaped articles.

Abstract: An axial piston machine, in particular an axial piston pump, of the swashplate or bent axis type, is described, wherein a fixed control plate (12), which comprises at least one control passage (12a) consisting of a plurality of control passage sections (12b, 12c) separated from each other by bridges (12d), is arranged between a cylinder drum, rotatable in both directions of rotation, and a fixed housing. The object of the invention is to design the control plate of an axial piston machine in such a way that damage by cavitation to the structural parts is prevented over the entire extent of the control passages for the supply and removal of the operating fluid. For this purpose the at least one control passage (12a) in the region at least of one bridge (12d) is provided with a pressure balance opening (13) connecting the surfaces of the control plate (12) with one another.

Abstract: A system operated by what is referred to as a clutch pedal, which adjusts the traction power of an infinitely variable, hydrostatic-mechanical transmission. The transmission contains at least one pump (1) and at least one motor (2), arranged in a hydraulic circuit. In order to reduce the traction power, pressure is leaked between the two sides of the motor (2) by reducing the pressure at the control parts (14a) of two proportional valves (14, 15) in respective lines bridging the motor (2). The control parts (14a) of the proportional valves (14, 15) are connected via a shift valve (19) to an intermediate valve (24), the closing force of which is reduced as the clutch pedal (26) is opened by means of a closing spring (36).
