  • Patent number: 11346733
    Abstract: A measuring element for registering forces includes a first measuring arm extending in a longitudinal direction of the measuring element, a second measuring arm extending in the longitudinal direction, a deformation section connecting the first measuring arm and the second measuring arm to one another in an elastically deformable manner, and a transformer unit arranged on a first side or a second side of the deformation section. The first measuring arm and the second measuring arm can be deflected relative to one another in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The transformer unit responds to deformation and is situated fully within the deformation section.

  • Patent number: 9502783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a method for producing a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a device for producing a two-part crimped contact element. Previous crimped contact elements comprising two portions have a high transition resistance between the two portions and insufficient mechanical stability. The crimped contact element according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages by at least one pressure-shaped connection element being used to connect the two portions.

  • Patent number: 9225100
    Abstract: A socket housing comprises an inner part and an outer part, the inner part being formed to receive at least one electrically conductive contact element, and a wall of the outer part defining a cavity. Therein, the inner part and the outer part are arranged adjoining one another. An external diameter of the inner part is equal to or less than an internal diameter of the outer part. The socket housing is formed in one piece, the inner part and the outer part being connected via a crosspiece formed as a predetermined breaking point.

  • Publication number: 20120048837
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser welding system comprising a source (1) for a laser beam, a collimator (2) which is adapted to collimate the laser beam, and a focusing means (3) which is adapted to focus the collimated laser beam onto a concentrated point on a workpiece (4) to be welded. In order to allow for a homogeneous welding region, an optical element (5) is arranged between the collimator (2) and the focusing means (3), the optical element being adapted to spread a power distribution of the laser beam along a first direction running at an angle to an axis of the collimated laser beam. According to an alternative solution, the optical element (5) is arranged between the source (1) for the laser beam and the collimator (2).

  • Publication number: 20080119093
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press-fit pin (1) made from wire material for electrical contacts, in particular plug-in connectors. When using press-fit pins (1) made from wire material the problem of the tips (23) of the press-fit pins (1) being damaged by the press-fit tool has previously occurred. To be able to support a tool on press-fit pins (1) made from wire material without the tips (23) being damaged the press-fit pin (1) made from wire material is provided according to the invention with a shoulder element (3).

  • Patent number: 6979234
    Abstract: A plug connection device comprises a contact pin and a receiving element. The contact pin has an outer surface. The receiving element has openings. Each of the openings has an inner surface that contacts the outer surface of the contact pin when the contact pin is received therein. The plug connection device has grooves extending in a radial direction. A distance between adjacent grooves is smaller than a distance between adjacent openings.
