Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for screening first particles out of a granulate comprised of first and second particles by conveying the granulate along a first screen surface which extends outward from a vibrating device, wherein the first particles have an aspect ratio a1, with a1>3:1, and the dimensions of the second particles allow them to fall through the mesh of the first screen surface.
Abstract: In a process for attaching a shunt wire to a carbon brush body in which a resin-containing cement is tamped into a cavity in the brush body, an improved cement is used, formed from a mixture of polyphenylene sulfide powder having a grain size of 5 to 50 ?m and copper-based powder. The brush produced thereby is improved in resistance to alcohol-containing fuels.
Abstract: A goniometric sensor (1) for measuring the relative rotation of two objects (20,25) comprising a flexible elongated element (2) whose respective ends are connected to the two objects (20, 25) and during whose bending the length variation ?L is determined of one of the lines (15) not located at the neutral axis (10). This length variation ?L is directly proportional to the relative rotation (?) between the two bodies (20, 25) multiplied for the eccentricity (e) of the line (15) with respect to the neutral axis (10). Therefore, it is possible to determine easily the relative rotation (?) by knowing the length L and the eccentricity (e) with respect to the neutral axis 10, and measuring the length variation ?L of the line, for example by measuring the movement of the end of a cable located in a hole that contains the line.
