Publication number: 20250125678Abstract: A method for producing an annular winding head support for a rotor of a rotating electric machine. In order to be able to produce a winding head support for particularly large machines in a simple manner, ring segments are created, after which the ring segments are connected to create a ring that constitutes the winding head support. In addition, the electric machine has a stator and a rotor, with the rotor including at least one winding head at an end side. A winding head support is provided in order to accommodate centrifugal forces occurring during operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2022Publication date: April 17, 2025Applicant: ANDRITZ HYDRO GmbHInventors: Yassar GHANIMI, Alexander JOHN, Oliver JANTSCHNER

Patent number: 9132541Abstract: A pneumatic hammer mechanism is disclosed. The hammer mechanism features: a flying mass, which is movable along an impact axis; an impact surface, which limits a movement of the flying mass along the impact axis in the impact direction; an exciting piston, which limits a movement of the flying mass along the impact axis opposite from the impact direction; a pneumatic chamber between the flying mass and exciting piston; a drive for periodically moving the exciting piston with a stroke along the impact axis, wherein the flying mass is excited to a periodic movement between the impact surface and exciting piston. The stroke is selected as a function of a maximum length of the pneumatic chamber such that the periodic movement of the flying mass on the path between an impact on the impact surface and a minimum approach of the exciting piston intermittently has a velocity of zero.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Alexander John, Reinhard Schulz, Eduard Pfeiffer
