  • Patent number: 6908420
    Abstract: A roller body for a roller, for pressure-treating or temperature-treating or combined pressure- and temperature-treating a web-shaped medium, for example paper, includes a casting body made of an iron-based alloy comprising graphite lamellae. Particular regions of the roller body are placed under tensile stresses during or after production. The stresses being applied are larger than those which occur in these regions during operation of a roller. The additionally applied tensile stresses trigger local plastic deformations in peripheral regions of the graphite lamellae, such that once the tensile stresses are no longer applied, the roller body behaves elastically and no longer permanently deforms up to the stress level achieved.

  • Patent number: 6588332
    Abstract: In a group of rolls for a calender for processing material webs, comprising at least two rolls each having a roll body made of a cast or forged iron material, at least one of the roll bodies consists of chilled cast iron or shell-chilled cast iron. One or more rolls may have a cover of a resilient material, such as a polymeric plastic. Although it is possible for the outer diameters of the rolls to differ, the sag of the rolls when they are supported only in their rolling-contact bearings is substantially equal. In order to produce appropriate rolls, following the essential machining steps of the roll bodies, that is to say, for example, following casting, following preliminary turning, following preliminary boring and, if appropriate, following the introduction of peripheral bores, the actual mean modulus of elasticity of the entire roll body is measured and, as a function of this, in particular the inner diameters of the central bores are produced.

  • Patent number: 6444055
    Abstract: A metallic cast material for friction bodies in acceleration or deceleration devices, particularly in the brake or clutch systems of road or rail vehicles, is produced from the iron/aluminum/carbon tertiary group so that the material is largely in the intermetallic phase having an ordered crystal lattice structure, and free carbon in lamellar, sphoroidal or vermicular form is present therein. The proportion of aluminum in the alloy is between 20 and 28% by weight, preferably 24% by weight. The material may be melted and cast open to the air. Solid or internally ventilated brake discs are mentioned as appropriate friction bodies. The friction bodies are lighter, more resistant to corrosion and wear, have a higher alternate bending fatigue strength and are at least as easily workable as previously known friction bodies made from ferrous materials.

  • Patent number: 6185836
    Abstract: A roller or roll heated by a gaseous heat carrier medium, preferably steam, having axially parallel peripheral passages for use in the pressing or smoothing station of paper making machines is connected to a device for the feeding and draining of the heat carrier medium so that for cooling the heated roller a cooling means is switched into the heating/cooling circuit and the direction of flow of the heat carrier medium may be reversed. Further aspects in accordance with the invention permit regulated cooling of the roller by blending heat carrier condensate into the return flow of heat carrier, by switching over between operation with a gaseous heat carrier and operation with a condensed heat carrier, as well as application of the invention in rollers having roller drive arranged on one flanged trunnion.

  • Patent number: 5915890
    Abstract: For influencing the run of a deep hole drilled passage in a metallic or non-metallic material a pusher pad (6) variable in strength and position is interposed between the drill rod (2) driving the drill tool (1) or the drill tool (1) itself and the inner wall of the drilled passage so that it causes a bending of the drill rod such that the drill tool assumes a changed run. The variation in the position and/or thickness of the pusher pad (6) can be fed back to the sensing of the corresponding position of the drill tool (1) and controlled by the results of sensing.
