Abstract: A vibration damper is proposed with two damper halves which enclose a passage opening in the assembled state and, in the installed position, bear against a component which is guided through the passage opening. The damper halves have corresponding latching means which permit an attachment of the vibration damper to the component. Each damper half has in each case one collar, which collars, in the assembled state of the vibration damper, are arranged at opposite ends of the vibration damper. The vibration damper can be mounted simply, even retrospectively. Moreover, the vibration damper can also be released again without damage.

Abstract: A method is provided for electrically conductively connecting a contact part to a conductor having a multiplicity of individual wires includes inserting the conductor into a cavity in the contact part and lowering a tool for friction stir welding onto the contact part. The tool for friction stir welding is moved on the contact part in a plane, thus giving rise to a planar cohesive connection between the contact part and the conductor. In this way, a direct cohesive connection of a stranded conductor and a contact part is produced without the need for an additional part such as a sleeve, for example, to prevent the stranded conductor from “sticking out”.

Abstract: A method for creating a flexible transition joint between HVDC-MI cables having different diameters. The central wires of the conductors are thermally joined by a conical connection piece. The strands of the layers of stranded wires surrounding the central wires are rewound, cut and thermally joined along their respective lay lengths. The stranded are sanded/ground along the lay length of the strands to form a smooth uniform transition having the same slope as the conical connection piece. A paper lapping machine is used to form an insulation patch over the transition joint.

One of the corrugated hoses is encased with a wound hose (201). The wound hose (201) prevents the line (200) from becoming elongated when it is charged with pressure during the transport of a medium. The wound hose (201) furthermore protects the line against external mechanical loads or damage. The wound hose simultaneously protects the corrugated hoses against excessive bending.
