Abstract: The invention relates to a bevel gear transmission having a housing (1), whose walls (2) are provided with at least two passage holes (3, 3?) for at least two bevel gears (4, 4?) that engage with one another with their gearings inside the transmission housing (1). At lest one of said bevel gears has a shaft (5) rotationally mounted in a bearing (22, 23) of a bearing casing (6), said shaft projecting from the transmission housing (1) through the passage hole (3), wherein the bearing casing (6) is fixed to the transmission housing (1).

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing and marking a cable including the steps of drawing a plurality of conductors in a longitudinal direction through an apparatus that affixes a plurality of magnetizable inserts along the length of the conductors with a distribution associated with a plurality of particular locations along the length of such conductors; applying a protective jacket of insulating material about the conductors and affixed magnetizable inserts; and marking the outside of the protective jacket in accordance with control signals generated by a sensing device that detects the presence of each of the magnetizable inserts as the cable is drawn through the sensing device.

Abstract: In a compensating coupling having flanges (1, 1', 3) connected with each other by a plurality of bolts (2), one of the flanges is connected with a rotating drive member and the other with a rotating driven member. The bolts (2) consist of a journal (8') fastened to one of the two flanges (1, 1', 3) and a sleeve (15) fastened to the other flange (1, 1', 3). The sleeve is supported on the journal by an axially vaulted surface formed on a spherical ring (20) displaceably located on the journal. A high torque may be transmitted by the coupling even when the drive shaft is tilted with respect to the driven shaft by virtue of the fact that the spherical ring is supported in an axially displaceable manner with respect to the sleeve and that at least one compression spring (13) biases the spherical ring back into its initial position.

Abstract: A single-twist stranding machine includes a stranding disc and nipple for stranding together a plurality of filaments, wires, conductors or the like, a rotatably mounted take-up spool onto which the stranded-together elements are wound, a flyer coaxial with the spool and including a frame and deflection pulleys to run the stranded-together elements from the stranding means to the spool, the flyer revolving about the spool, and a common drive motor. The specific improvement disclosed includes a differential gear transmission having two input gears and an output gear; a first transmission for drivingly connecting the drive motor to the flyer, one of the input gears of the differential gear transmission is a part of the first transmission; a second transmission drivingly connects the output gear to the spool for causing the spool to rotate; and a control drive operates the other input gear to vary the speed relation of flyer and spool in dependance upon the input speed of the stranding elements.
