  • Patent number: 10192692
    Abstract: A cross-type limit switch (10) with a housing (12) that contains a gear mechanism (24) that includes a cover plate (38), base plate (48), and intermediate plate (42). The intermediate plate (42) has first and second cutouts (44, 46) within which respective gearwheels (54, 58) are arranged. The first and second gear wheels (54, 58) have respective plugthrough openings (56, 60), and a shaft (20) coupled to an actuating lever (18) outside the housing is rotatably mounted in a first bearing arrangement (22) connected to the housing. The actuating lever shaft (20) extends through the first plugthrough opening (56) of the first gear wheel (54) for rotating and radially locating the first gear wheel (54). A rotary switch (30) arranged in the housing (12) has a switch shaft (138) rotatably mounted in a second bearing arrangement (106, 34) that extend through the second plugthrough opening (60) of the second gearwheel for rotating and radially locating the second gearwheel (58).

  • Patent number: 9945426
    Abstract: A shaft, especially a motor shaft, is inserted into an accommodation area of a hub, especially an adapter shaft, and is connected with force locking, especially being clamped. The hub, at least in one axial area, has three flattenings evenly spaced from one another in the circumferential direction. A first threaded part, particularly a first, preferably radially-acting setscrew, is screwed into a clamping ring and presses on one area of the hub in order to bring about the force-locking connection, especially by bracing the clamping ring against the hub, in particular, the area covering an angle-at-circumference area which is smaller than the angular distance in the circumferential direction between two flattenings immediately adjacent in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 8226137
    Abstract: A dual chain hoist having a lifting beam that can be telescopically extended and contracted, wherein load chains respectively extend to hook blocks suspended beneath the lifting beam in the vicinity of the ends of two telescoping sections that form the lifting beam. The distance between the telescoping sections can be varied with another chain. The chain for varying the length of the lifting beam extends over a chain wheel that is connected without rotational play to another chain wheel from which the load chain of the hook block of the respective telescoping lifting beam section.

  • Publication number: 20110121609
    Abstract: A vehicle cab frame includes a base frame, with connection elements mounted on the base frame, as well as support elements mounted on the connection elements. Functional surfaces for linking attachment parts are formed on the support elements and the functional surfaces have a specified spatial orientation subject to tolerances. In order to improve the positioning accuracy of functional surfaces, the support elements are oriented and positioned relative to the connection elements so that tolerance deviations due to the construction of the base frame can be compensated by corresponding orientation and positioning of the support elements relative to the connection elements.

  • Patent number: 7182709
    Abstract: A series of gear motors, a gear motor, and a planetary-gear stage includes planet wheels that mesh with a sun wheel and inner gear teeth provided for the gear housing. The planet wheels are supported in a rotatable planet carrier, which forms the power take-off, and to which a sealing element is assigned on the output side. The planetary-gear stage is assigned a further sealing element on the input side. The gear housing is shaped on the input side such that an interface is formed for connection to further components, which include at least one shaft connected to the sun wheel.

  • Patent number: 6208648
    Abstract: The invention concerns a network element and an input-output unit (1) for a synchronous transmission system according to the standard for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy or according to the comparable Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) standard. The input-output unit (1) contains a signal processing device (2) that has a reception data memory (5), a transmission data memory (7), a control unit (6) and a processor (3). The processor (3) is a digital signal processor which essentially carries out the processing of a STM-N signal.

  • Patent number: 6188685
    Abstract: A transmission system is indicated for digital signals combined into a multiplex signal, and a network element for such a transmission system. Each network element contains an adapter circuit to balance phase variations in an incoming multiplex signal. The adapter circuit has a buffer memory (1) for payload data bytes, a write address generator (2) which controls the buffer memory (1) in a way so that a number of payload data bytes is stored within one write cycle, and has a read address generator (3) which controls the buffer memory (1) in a way so that the number of payload data bytes stored within the write cycle is greater than the number of payload data bytes read during the read cycle. Each network element has a sort facility (5) which sorts the read payload data bytes, so that a multiplex signal that is transmitted by a network element has the established frame format.
