Abstract: An actuating device is proposed for an electric/electronic device within an in particular flame-proof housing. The electrical/electronic device includes an essentially linearly movable on/off lever. In order to provide such an actuating device being accessible on the exterior of the respective flameproof housing and allowing mechanical actuation of the respective on/off lever without adversely affecting the flameproof housing, the actuating device includes at least a rotatably mounted handle disposed on the outside of the housing and a shaft connected with it in a rotatably fixed manner, the shaft being guided into the housing interior and there being connected movably to the on/off lever by a transformation gear for transforming rotational motion into linear motion.

Abstract: A plug-in housing module for forming an-explosion-proof switchgear/distribution panel including a number of plug-in points, where when the plug-in housing module is in a plugged-in position at a corresponding plug-in point of the number of plug-in points, the plug-in housing module is brought into contact with electrical connection devices and is detachably fixed to carrier rails of a frame of the switchgear/distribution panel, the plug-in housing module including at least one switching device for switching between a locking position and a release position, and when the at least one switching device is in the release position, the plug-in housing module can be moved out of the plugged-in position into a separation position, where in the separation position, the contact with the electrical connection devices is interrupted, while maintaining a flameproof mechanical connection.

Abstract: A plug-in housing module for forming an especially explosion-proof switchgear/distribution panel with a number of plug-in points contacts electrical connection devices when occupying its plugged-in position, and is detachably fixed to carrier rails or the like of a frame of the switchgear/distribution panel in the plugged-in position. The aim of the invention is to improve such a plug-in housing module in such a way that, without switching the entire panel off circuit, a plug-in housing module can be easily inserted into a corresponding plug-in point or removed therefrom even by an untrained person.

Abstract: Shock absorber, having a cylinder in which a piston rod is arranged as a displacer and which has a piston which subdivides a working space filled with damping medium into two working chambers. Arranged concentrically with this cylinder is an outer tube which, together with the cylinder, forms an annular space sealed off from the atmosphere by seals. The outer tube, together with the piston rod, executes a synchronous movement relative to the cylinder as a function of the reciprocating movement. At least one of the seals of the annular space is arranged in a fixed location with respect to the cylinder, and at least another one of the seals is arranged in a fixed location with respect to the outer tube, so that the annular space has a volume which varies as a function of the reciprocating position of the shock absorber. The annular space is connected via at least one flow connection to at least one of the working chambers.

Abstract: A vibration damper, particularly a mono-tube vibration damper, has a cylinder in which a piston rod is arranged together with a piston so as to be axially movable, wherein the piston divides the cylinder into two work spaces filled with a work medium, the vibration damper having at least one deaerating device at the outer surroundings of the vibration damper for the areas filled with the work medium.

Abstract: A piston-cylinder unit including a cylinder in which a piston is guided so as to be displaceable axially, wherein the piston separates the cylinder into two work spaces which communicate via at least one bypass groove in the cylinder depending on the stroke position of the piston, wherein the cylinder is formed of multiple parts and a portion of the cylinder with the at least one bypass groove is displaceable axially relative to at least one further portion of the cylinder.
