The electrical plug connector coupling also has a connection device disposed on at least one of the first and at least one of the second narrow faces and operable to connect the first plug housing with the second plug housing in a connected position such that the contacts are connected. A releasing element is disposed on one of the narrow faces. The releasing element has a release position so as to release the first and second plug housings from the connected position when it is moved into the release position. The releasing element is fixable in the release position when the first and second plug housings are in the connected position.

Abstract: A section (10; 110) is provided for the manufacture of hollow body elements, in particular for the manufacture of pierce and rivet nuts having a square or rectangular outline in plan view and a ring-like piercing section (36; 236) at a side confronting a component consisting of a sheet metal material or the like. The section (10; 210) is at least substantially rectangular in cross-section with two bars (14, 16; 214, 216) at the side (12; 212) later confronting the component. The bars are spaced apart and extend parallel to the longitudinal sides (18, 20; 218, 220) of the section, are likewise at least substantially rectangular in cross-section and form, in the finished element (11, 211), a feature providing security against rotation. The bars respectively each have an inclined flank (68, 70; 268, 270) at the inner side which forms an undercut (69, 71; 269, 271).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adapting the brake cylinder pressure (pc,actual; pc1/pc2/pc3/pc4) of a pneumatic brake of a rail vehicle (FZG). According to the invention, during a braking process, the momentary actual slip (sactual) between at least one wheel (2) of the rail vehicle (FZG) and a rail (3) is determined, a desired slip (sdesired) between the at least one wheel (2) and the rail (3) is predetermined, and the brake cylinder pressure (pc,actual; pc1, pc2/pc3, pc4), which corresponds to the difference of the actual slip (sactual) from the predetermined actual slip (sdesired), is modified such that the difference between the desired and actual slip is approximately zero or is at a minimum. The desired slip can be, selectively, in the micro or macro slip range. A braking state factor is determined in the event of a stable braking process, from axle speed measurements and brake cylinder pressures.

Abstract: A contacting device for a galvanization apparatus comprises contacting rollers with a continuous rigid external face, which is joined to a jacket section. The jacket section is provided with an inner opening that is wider than a rotating shaft on which the contacting roller sits. This allows the contacting roller to be moved in a radial direction, wherein electric contacting and securing of a basic position is obtained via springs in every one of the radially moved positions. The moveability of the contacting roller ensures good contact as the contacting roller rests against substrates also when the substrates are uneven. The contact pressure can be relatively small.
