Abstract: A torque limiting coupling has a first coupling hub (2) with first driving members (10), and a second coupling hub (27) with second driving members (35). The hubs (2, 27) are jointly received in a coupling sleeve (46) and are rotatable independently of one another. When a set torque is exceeded while the first coupling hub (2) is driven in one of two driving directions of rotation N1 or N2, the second coupling hub (27) is subjected to a force which ensures that, in the driving direction of rotation N1, the driving members (10) of the first coupling hub (2) are transferred into the disconnected position and that, in the driving direction of rotation N2, the second driving members (35) of the second coupling hub (27) are transferred into the disconnected position.

Abstract: A coupling, especially a torque limiting coupling, has a coupling housing (2) and an inner coupling member (10) received therein. The inner coupling member (10) connects to a drive shaft. Torque transmitting elements (12), active in the form of locking members, are positioned between the inner coupling member (10) and the coupling housing (2). The coupling housing (2) has a connecting bore portion (6) which receives a connecting portion (19) of a connecting element (18).

The connecting portion (19) is accommodated with a radial clearance. Thus, radial displacements, circumferential displacements as well as angular displacements are possible between the coupling housing (2) and the connecting element (18).

A coupling sleeve (6) has first recesses corresponding to the through holes. A switching disk (9) is arranged relative to the coupling hub (8) between a torque transmitting position and a freewheeling position.

Coupling sleeve (6), when a predetermined nominal torque is exceeded, is transferable from the torque transmitting position to the freewheeling position. Second recesses, corresponding to the through holes, receive the transfer elements in the freewheeling position.

When actuating the tensioning screw (19) in a disconnecting direction the nut (23) abuts the support disk (11), so that the hub (3) and the shaft (14) move away from each other and become separated.

The reference element is correspondingly tubular in shape. A first tube end (22) of the reference element (21) is firmly connected to a first shaft end (10) of the torsion element (9). A second tube end (24) of the reference element (21) is supported on the second shaft end (11) of the torsion element (9). The two tube ends (22, 24) are each associated with a transmitter element (16, 34). The relative position of the transmitter elements (16, 34) in the direction of rotation around the rotational axis (8) is recorded by a sensor element (35).

The evaluation unit (36) determines the torque applied from the offset of the signals.

Abstract: A driving arrangement with a free-wheel coupling has a coupling sleeve (1) and a coupling hub (10) rotatably supported in the coupling sleeve (1). Both are connected, via locking pawls (24), so that, during driving of the coupling hub (10), a slaving of the coupling sleeve (1) takes place. However, a faster rotation of the coupling sleeve (1) is allowed so that the coupling sleeve (1) can overtake the coupling hub (10). Belleville springs (25, 29) achieve a breaking effect with large lagging masses. The Belleville springs (25, 29) are kept non-rotational relative to the coupling hub (10) and are supported on the end faces (8, 9) of the coupling sleeve (1). The Belleville springs (25, 29) are pre-tensioned by means of a friction face (26).

Abstract: A coupling assembly for agricultural implements has a friction coupling (1), an electromagnet (6) and control mechanism (7). The friction coupling (1) includes a friction assembly (4) which is loaded by a pressure plate (14). The pressure plate (14) is loaded by pressure springs (15, 16). The pressure plate (14) is adjustable by an actuating device (5) which includes an electromagnet (6) and an anchor plate (19). The control mechanism (7) includes a control member (27) which, by changing the electric current, regulates the pressure force of the pressure plate (14) during the coupling and/or uncoupling operation. The housing (2) and the hub (3) are associated with speed sensors (25, 26) which transmit a signal to the control mechanism (7) to relieve the load on the friction assembly. Thus, this prevents the friction coupling (1) from overheating.

Abstract: A device for setting the length of a top rink (7) of an attaching device of a tractor (1) has a piston/cylinder unit (14) for length setting purposes. The piston/cylinder (14) has a displacement sensor (20) which records the respective actual length setting of the top link (7). The displacement sensor (20) generates an actual proportional length signal. A lift position sensor (13) is provided which generates an electric signal representing the respective actual lift position of the lower steering arms (4). A nominal length setting of the top link (7), which refers to the respective actual lift position, can be stored in a storage unit (33). When a new actual lift position is reached during the automatic mode of operation, it is possible to generate an electric control signal which corresponds to the nominal length setting of the top link (7). The signal is transmitted to the comparator of a control unit (34). The comparator compares the control signal with the actual length signal.

Abstract: A protective device for a driving assembly with a double universal joint has a protective cone (13) made of plastic. At a first axial end, the protective cone (13) is secured to a bearing assembly (12). At its second axial end (16), the protective cone (13) carries a guiding ring (18). Folds (15) are arranged between the axial ends. A hollow-spherical-zone-like inner bearing face (19) of the guiding ring (18) is arranged on a spherical outer bearing face (26) of a bearing race (25). A sliding ring (30) in the bearing race (25) is supported in a bearing groove (27) of the double yoke (2) of the double universal joint (1). The guiding ring (18) is pre-tensioned by the folds (15) of the protective cone (13) and thus held in contact with the outer bearing face (26). The guiding ring (18) can be removed from the bearing assembly, thus making components of the double universal joint accessible for maintenance purposes, such as lubrication.

To prevent any rotation, a first holding element (36) is provided. The actuating lever (33) engages the holding element in a rest position.
