  • Publication number: 20150046117
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for contactlessly measuring a relative position of a magnetic field source (102) which produces a magnetic field and a magnetic field sensor (100) in relation to each other. The present invention further also relates to a corresponding displacement sensor. The invention describes an operating principle of a sensor which is based on the Hall effect and which achieves an increase in the sensor output range with a magnet which is simultaneously reduced in size by storing the earlier value when control by the magnetic field is lost.

  • Patent number: 8946580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to contactors for unidirectional DC operation with permanent magnetic arc extinguishing. In addition to the blow magnets, the contactors are equipped with compensatory permanent magnets for compensating the magnetic field in the vicinity of the contact bridge in order to prevent contact levitation, i.e., an uncontrolled opening of the contacts that is due to a magnetic force generated by a strong current flowing through the contact bridge. To this end, the compensatory permanent magnets are arranged in the vicinity of the contact bridge and polarized in the opposite direction of the blow magnets. The magnetic field of the compensatory magnets and the current flowing through the contact bridge are generating a magnetic force that acts on the contact bridge and tends to keep the electrical contacts closed.

  • Publication number: 20140317922
    Abstract: A method is provided for crimping an electrical terminal to an electrical wire having electrical conductors. The method includes positioning the electrical wire and the electrical terminal between opposing crimp tooling members of a crimp tool. The method also includes pressing a crimp barrel of the electrical terminal against the electrical conductors of the electrical wire using the crimp tooling members such that the electrical conductors are mechanically and electrically connected to the crimp barrel. The crimp barrel is pressed against the electrical conductors such that at least some contact portions of metallic surfaces of at least some of the electrical conductors melt and form hot weld bonds with one or more contact portions of the metallic surface of one or more adjacent electrical conductors.
