  • Patent number: 7722323
    Abstract: An axial flow turbine motor is provided which includes a rotor with a peripheral row of drive blades and a peripheral band-shaped wall element radially clamped against the tops of the drive blades, and a housing with at least one pressure medium inlet nozzle and an annular inner surface surrounding the rotor drive blades and the wall element, wherein the wall element is arranged to withstand centrifugal forces and uphold its clamping engagement with the drive blades at rotor speed levels up to a predetermined speed level, but to expand and loosen its clamping engagement with the drive blades at speed levels above the predetermined speed level, thereby moving into contact with the annular surface and interfering with the rotational movement of the rotor so as to prevent the rotor from reaching hazardous high speed levels.

  • Publication number: 20100055970
    Abstract: A connector plug is provided for a multi-conductor cable with an axial load transferring non-conducting tensile string. The connector plug includes a casing carrying a number of contact elements attached to conductors of the cable for engaging corresponding contact elements connected to a matching jack, and the tensile string is anchored relative to the casing via an annular element mounted at the end of the cable. A transverse pin is firmly attached to the tensile string of the cable and positively engages the annular element. The annular element has a rim portion with a bigger outer diameter than an outer cross sectional dimension of the cable so as to engage an internal shoulder on the casing and enable transfer of axial load from the tensile string of the cable to the casing and further to a connected matching jack via the transverse pin and the annular element.

  • Publication number: 20100018746
    Abstract: A multi conductor flat type cable, which is intended for connecting a portable electric power tool to a stationary power supply and operation control unit, has a connector plug (18) attached to its one end, wherein the cable (10) has a twisted shape section (A) adjacent the connector plug (18) for facilitating universal bending of the cable (10). The twisted section (A) is provided with a transition sleeve (16) with a cylindrical portion (17) at the connector plug end and two tapering tongues (20, 21) extending along the cable (10) over at least a part of the twisted section (A), wherein the cable (10) is adapted to the cylindrical shape of the connector plug (18) and strengthened against too close bending in the twisted section (A). The transition sleeve (16) is moulded onto the cable (10) in a first manufacturing step, and in a second step the cable (10) together with the transition sleeve (16) are heated to a certain temperature and twisted to assume the twisted shape in the section (A).

  • Patent number: 7238000
    Abstract: A pneumatic high speed motor includes a stator housing, a rotor journalled in the stator housing, and a pressure air inlet passage. A speed governor for the motor includes a valve element that is shiftable between an open position and a closed position for controlling pressure air flow through the pressure air inlet passage, and a spring which continuously biases the valve element toward open position. An air compressor is driven by the rotor to deliver an output pressure, which is responsive to a speed of the rotor, to an activating surface of the valve element. The activating surface of the valve element is acted upon by the output pressure of the air compressor to shift the valve element toward the closed position against the bias force of the spring at rotor speed levels exceeding a desired operating speed level.

  • Patent number: 6899514
    Abstract: An overspeed safety device for a pneumatic rotation motor having a stator (10) with an air inlet passage (16), a rotor (12), and a speed governor for determining a maximum speed level, and comprising a speed responsive actuator (34) connected to the rotor (12) and a valve (33) shiftable by the actuator (34) from a normally open position to a closed position so as to block or substantially restrict the air flow through the inlet passage (16) at the attainment of motor speed levels exceeding a predetermined maximum level should the speed governor malfunction, wherein the actuator (34) comprises a spring biassed contact element (48) connected to the rotor (12) and responsive to centrifugal action, and the valve (33) comprises a disc-shaped valve element (36) pivotally supported in the inlet passage (16) and maintained in its open position by one magnet (42) and in its closed position by another magnet (43).
