Abstract: A sensing head (1) for a transducer for capturing rotation or linear parameters, of a rotatable or linearly movable component, in particular of a shaft (13), includes a housing (2), a first sensor unit (3) and a second sensor unit (5) arranged on the housing (2) and arranged in a circumferential direction (U) of the rotatable component offset in relation to each other. The first sensor unit has a first sensor surface (4) and the second sensor unit has a second sensor surface (6). Each of the sensor units (3, 5) can be rotated about a rotation axis (7, 30) such that the sensor surfaces (4, 6) are pivotable to each other in at least two different angular positions. The rotation axes (7, 30) of the sensor units (3, 5) are located on the sides (34, 36) of the sensor units (3, 5); forming the sensor surfaces (4, 6).

Abstract: An absolute value transducer (1) for determining an absolute position (P) of a body (6), with a measured material element (5), as well as a process for determining the absolute position (P) of two bodies (3, 4, 6) in relation to one another. In order to be able to use the absolute value transducer (1) in as flexible a manner as possible and to detect mounting errors of the measured material element (5), provisions are made according to the present invention for a code (K) of the measured material element (5) to have a discontinuity (9) in its course and for the code (K) to be scanned outside the discontinuity for determining the absolute position (P) within the discontinuity (9), and for the scanned absolute values (W) to be combined with an offset value (A).

Abstract: A device is provided for covering the sides of a spacing (4) between two vehicles coupled with each other, in particular rail cars (1, 2). The device has two side walls (10) running parallel to each other that deform at least in the longitudinal direction of travel. The side walls (10) are connected to each other in the upper and lower regions by braces (12). The braces (12) are connected to each other, so that they can move relative to each other, in the longitudinal direction of the travel by at least one accordion-like material strip (20).

Abstract: A bellows is provided as part of a crossway between two vehicles connected to each other in an articulated manner or as a telescopic gangway, with a material web which is provided with a layer of synthetic material. The material web has a top (upper) side made of a textile and a bottom (under) side made of textile (11, 12). The spacer fibers/pile threads (13) are provided between the top side and the bottom side, such that a space between the top side and bottom side results when the material web is in a non-loaded condition.

Abstract: An inner wall lining of the bellows of a connection between two hinge-linked vehicles or vehicle parts is provided, the inner wall lining including several wall elements that are disposed within the connection so as to be slidabic relative to each other via a guide device, the guide device including at least one guide arn that is disposed on the one wall element and is oriented parallel to and at a distance of said wall element, the guide arm slidably receiving the other wall element, the distance between the one wall element and the guide arm corresponding approximately to the thickness of the other wall element.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a pleat or corrugation of a bellows of a connection between two hinge-linked vehicles or vehicle sections e.g., of an articulated bus, the corrugation or pleat in the corner zone of the bellows being comprised, for the purpose of increasing the expansion of the bellows in the corner zone, of a pleat or corrugation insert unit having a plurality of pleats or corrugations, with said pleat or corrugation insert unit (20) tapering in the region of the upper end thereof toward the vertex (11) of the pleat (10) or corrugation where it is connected to said pleat or corrugation.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a tractor unit with a double axle trailer (2), a connecting joint being provided between the trailer (2) and the tractor unit (1), said connecting joint being adapted to be readily releasably coupled to and uncoupled from the tractor unit (1) and a connection (10), which is surrounded by a bellows (11), being provided between tractor unit (1) and trailer (2).

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is an inner wall lining (1) of the bellows of a connection between two hinge-linked vehicles or vehicle parts, said inner wall lining comprising several wall elements (2, 3) that are disposed within the connection so as to be slidable relative to each other via a guide device (20), the guide device (20) including at least one guide arm (21) that is disposed on the one wall element (2, 3) and is oriented parallel to and at a distance of said wall element (2, 3), said guide arm (21) slidably receiving the other wall element (2), the distance between the one wall element (3) and the guide arm (21) corresponding approximately to the thickness of the other wall element (2).
