  • Patent number: 7170386
    Abstract: An inductor core 10 is proposed for a heatable godet roll comprising a plurality of inductor core laminations 11 arranged radially in a star shape with radial sections 12 and respectively one outer axial section 13 and an inner axial section. The inductor core 10 has end plates 19, 20 with respectively one surface 21 complementary to the radial sections 12 and fixing means, wherein the inductor core laminations 11 are arranged between the end plates 19, 20 and wherein the fixing means 22 are set up to fix the inductor core laminations 11 at their radiation sections 12 on the end plates 19, 20 or alternatively and/or on the outer surface of an inner tube.

  • Patent number: 6769842
    Abstract: Cutter plates (19) with an approximately cube-shaped base body have been created, in particular for finish-milling of a crankshaft (5). At the edge of its cover surface, the base body is provided with a hump or protrusion, which can be embodied rib- or strip-shaped, has a cutting edge each on its front and back and adjoins the neighboring lateral surface. This cutting edge is a component of the main cutting edge (33) adjoining the cover surface. A corresponding protrusion (29) is provided on the lower end of the lateral surface (27) and adjoins the end of the cover surface (22) remote from the protrusion (28). In this case the lateral surface (27) is preferably inclined in such a way that it terminates flush with the protrusion (29) without forming a concave surface area with it.
