Patent number: 11761424Abstract: A system includes a wind turbine having a fixed part and a rotational part and a brake having a brake disk mounted to the rotational part for rotation with the rotational part. At least one brake block is fixed relative to the fixed part and has a friction surface facing the brake disk. The brake block is shiftable between a first position with the friction surface spaced from the brake disk and a second position with the friction surface in contact with and pressed against the brake disk, and the friction surface and/or the brake disk are configured such that pressing the at least one brake block against the brake disk creates a micro-interference fit between the at least one brake block and the brake disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Wolfgang Glaentz, Henning Kern, Hans-Juergen Liesegang

Patent number: 10823258Abstract: A planetary transmission includes first and second ring gears and a double planet with first and second gears rotatably disposed about a common shaft and arranged such that the gear teeth of the first gear of the double planet engage into the gear teeth of the first ring gear, and the gear teeth of the second gear of the double planet engage into the gear teeth of the second ring gear. The first gear of the double planet is preloaded in a clockwise direction such that the gear teeth of the first gear of the double planet are in contact with the gear teeth of the first ring gear, and the second gear of the double planet is preloaded in a counterclockwise direction such that the gear teeth of the second gear of the double planet are in contact with the gear teeth of the second ring gear.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Ingo Schulz, Wolfgang Glaentz, Tilmann Haar, Daniel Reck

Publication number: 20120260937Abstract: A device for cleaning a surface of a component includes a high voltage source having a cathode configured to be electrically connected with the surface of the component. An ionization electrode includes at least one individual electrode configured to be electrically connected with an anode of the high voltage source. A movable carriage moves the ionization electrode relative to the surface of the component so that an electric field generated between the ionization electrode and the surface of the component is also moved relative to the surface of the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2012Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Wolfgang Glaentz, Tilmann Haar, Steffen Hain, Andreas Kern-Trautmann, Jochen Lorenscheit, Ingo Schulz, Roland Worsley

Publication number: 20100330342Abstract: A coating arrangement includes a coating carrier having at least one surface and a coating having particles with a hardness of at least 9 on the Mohs hardness scale disposed on the at least one surface of the coating carrier. The particles forming substantially a single layer and being fixed on the carrier surface by a metallic material applied by electroplating. Such a coating arrangement may be used in a coupling that further includes a counter element against which the coating arrangement is intended to press.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: Aktiebolaget SKFInventors: Peter Horling, Wolfgang Gläntz
