Abstract: A separating device cuts an extruded pipe to length. The separating device has a separator that is rotatably mounted and rotates about an extrusion axis. Cutting tools are arranged on the separator and move in accordance with received energy. An electromechanical drive can move a carrier that supports a cutting tool. The electromechanical drive and the carrier are on a rotating receiver of the separator. An element for energy transfer is connected to a moving part of the rotating receiver, the element being coupled to an energy supplier arranged on the rotating receiver. The energy and control commands are transmitted to the electromechanical drive via the element for energy transfer and the energy supplier. The electromechanical drive, the carrier, or the cutting tool can yield to a force counter to a separating force if that force is greater than a required separating force for cutting the extruded pipe.
