  • Patent number: 11492959
    Abstract: Steering rod for connecting an actuator to a turbocharger drive member, comprising an elongated main body (2), which extends between a first end (5) equipped with a first through-hole (7), and a second end (6) equipped with a second through-hole (8), and two bushings (3), (4) immovably mounted in the through-holes (7), (8), wherein the bushings (3), (4) are made of a material which has a greater resistance to mechanical wear than the material delimiting the through-holes (7), (8), and wherein each bushing (3) (4) has an outer surface that is in contact with an inner part of the through-hole (7), (8) and has a radial recess (9), the second material tightening the bushing (3), (4) preventing it from rotating and filling the recess (9) preventing the bushing (3), (4) from being extracted from the second through-hole (7), (8).

  • Patent number: 9957984
    Abstract: A method for making a detection device (2) for detecting a position of a movable rod (4) of a pneumatic actuator (1) comprises a step of taking a first body (17) comprising a connecting portion (19), a supporting portion (20), an electrical connector (21), a detection sensor (15) for detecting a magnetic field and electrical connecting means (22). The method then comprises a step of taking a second body (18) comprising a housing (14) in which the supporting portion (20) can be inserted, a step of inserting the supporting portion (20) and the detection sensor (15) positioned on it in the housing (14) and a step of irremovably constraining the first body (17) to the second body (18). The first body (17) and the second body (18) comprise, one at least one projecting element (25) and the other at least one corresponding hole (26); during the insertion step the projecting element (25) is inserted in the hole (26).

  • Patent number: 8656987
    Abstract: A process for making heat exchanger tubes includes the operating steps of cutting a piece of sheet, subjecting the piece of sheet (3) to a forming step to obtain a plurality of first elements (8, 9) which mirror one another, and bending the piece of sheet (3) to create a tubular element (1) which has two flat walls (4) with the raised elements (8, 9) on them, the flat walls being opposite one another and joined by two connecting walls (5). The first raised elements (8) have an extended shape according to their main direction of extension. The forming step involves making one or more higher second raised elements (9).
