Abstract: An adjusting device (11) is for regulating the eccentric moment of an eccentric shaft (2) of a roller drum (1) through the influence of an axially directed force transmitted by a force transmission mechanism (12) to a turning device (5), in order to cause a rotation of the eccentric shaft (2). The force transmission mechanism (12) is connected to the adjusting device (11). The adjusting device (11) incorporates a driving device (20), a transmission (19), a tube sleeve (17) and a guide screw (14) which is rotatably arranged in a threaded bore (16) in a journalling shaft (15) for the roller drum (1). The driving device (20) is connected to the tube sleeve (17) via a transmission (19) for transmitting a rotary movement to the tube sleeve (17).

Abstract: A secondary braking device for a self-propelled diesel-driven roller (1) is especially for a vibrating roller that is operated on steep downgrades only on rare occasion. The roller (1) is equipped with an electronic engine control module (2) that is programmed so as to, when a preset primary diesel engine speed is exceeded, connect to ground an actuator relay (4) for a hydraulic valve (5) in the hydraulic system (6) of the roller. The hydraulic valve is thereby caused to interrupt the hydraulic supply pressure to one or a plurality of drum brakes (8). The drum brakes (8) generate maximum braking force upon the loss of supply pressure.
