  • Publication number: 20080310930
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for anchoring an anchor (10) in an anchoring substrate (26), for example, of concrete, to an anchor (10) suitable for the method and to a drill suitable for the method. The invention proposes using the anchor (10) as tool for at least partial preparation of the anchoring hole (28) in the anchoring substrate (26) by high-frequency oscillatory working. The anchor (10) is, for example, an undercut expansion anchor, the expansible sleeve (14) of which forms the tool and is driven into an anchoring substrate (26) by being subjected to the action of high-frequency oscillations.

  • Patent number: 6539853
    Abstract: A press that includes a push rod (12) that can be pushed downward to cut and mold miniature components, has a small size and a minimum number of components, and can be easily and precisely controlled. The push rod has a largely upwardly-facing shoulder (140) that lies in a chamber that can receive pressured hydraulic fluid to push down the push rod. A piezoelectric actuator, or piezoactor (18), moves a piston (20) that lies in a pressure cylinder. One end of the pressure cylinder holds hydraulic fluid (130), and when the piezoactor pushes the piston it pressurizes the hydraulic fluid therein. Pressured hydraulic fluid in the pressure cylinder flows through a passage (23) to the rod chamber to press down the push rod. The cross-sectional area of the pressure cylinder is many times greater than the cross-sectional area of the push rod shoulder so slight movement of the piezoactor is magnified many times by the hydraulic fluid to move the push rod with a long stroke.
