  • Patent number: 6722658
    Abstract: A wiper having an integrated seal, comprising at least one dynamically stressed, first sealing lip arranged in the direction of a space to be sealed, and at least one wiping lip disposed on the side facing away from the space to be sealed. The wiper having an integrated seal also includes quasi-statically stressed second, third and fourth sealing lips which are each configured to be placed against at least one counter-surface of a mounting space of the wiper with integrated seal. The second sealing lip is fluid-conductive. The third and fourth sealing lips are each configured as a pressure relief valve, and sealing lips are arranged in series.

  • Patent number: 6116012
    Abstract: A supporting disk for a rotor of an open-end spinning machine comprising a hub ring made of metallic material and a support ring made of polymer material affixed to the outer circumferential surface of the hub ring, the outer circumferential surface of the hub ring engaging the inner circumferential surface of the support ring. The support ring extends beyond the hub ring in the axial direction on both sides with an equal projecting length.

  • Patent number: 6105970
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement for establishing a seal between two machine elements, such as a rod or piston undergoing axial motion within a housing. A rod or piston seal is arranged in a groove of the second machine element, which typically is the housing of the rod or piston. The groove is open in the direction of the first machine element, and contains a seal ring and a prestress ring made of elastomeric material. The seal ring has an essentially T-shaped cross-section and touches the surface of the first machine element which is to be sealed with the sealing surface of its radial ridge, forming a seal. The prestress ring is arranged between the base of the groove and the axial ridge of the seal ring, under elastic prestress. The transition from the faces of the radial ridge to the sealing surface is rounded.

  • Patent number: 5692369
    Abstract: A rotor disk for a spinning machine has a hub ring that includes a first carrier and a second carrier, with the hub ring being joined radially externally in a rotationally fixed manner to a thrust ring made of polymer material. The hub ring and the thrust ring are fastened together in a manner allowing them to be detached non-destructively. The first and the second carriers are constructed and are arranged in a mirror image.

  • Patent number: 5362160
    Abstract: A supporting disk for a flywheel of an open-end spinning machine, comprising a hub ring (1) and a support ring (3) made of elastomer material and affixed to the outer surface of the hub ring. The hub ring (1) consists of a polymer material with a modulus of elasticity of 7000 to 13000N/mm.sup.2, a dimensional stability to heat from 150.degree. to 250.degree. C., as well as an elongation at break of 1.3 to 3%.

  • Patent number: 5221133
    Abstract: A supporting disk for the rotor of an open-end spinning machine, comprising a hub ring of metallic material and a support ring made of elastomer polyurethane that is affixed to the outer surface of the hub ring, whereby the support ring is affixed to the outer surface of an auxiliary ring consisting of polymer material. The material of the auxiliary ring has a modulus of elasticity of 7000 to 13,000 N/mm.sup.2, a dimensional stability under heat from 150.degree. to 250.degree. C., as well as an elongation at break of 1.3 to 3%. It is affixed with radial widening of its inside diameter and with an interference fit to the outer surface of the hub ring.
